Lily Smith - Volleyball

Lily Smith has continued to improve all year. As a freshman, she has become one of our main go-to attackers. Lily had a great work ethic all week in practice. You can always hear her cheering for her team when she is on the sidelines. The same thing happened on Saturday during our state matches. She supported her team loudly and proudly from the sidelines. Not only did she support well, but she played maybe her best ball all season. And what a great time to do it in our Sweet Sixteen and Elite Eight matches. Lily's future is very bright. -coach Matt Heyl
