Madison Warlick - Class of 2018
Outside Hitter and Defensive Specialist
Albemarle Showcase Tournament - Sept. 24, 2016
I wanted to personally update you on my varsity team's latest tournament. Although we we weren't tournament champions, we walked away knowing we played with heart and gave it our personal best. Often I am the utility player, "it's yes coach, wherever you need me." So if you watch the highlight video you will see me as an Outside Hitter, Right-side Hitter, Defensive Specialist and Libero.
My favorite quote is: "Some where behind the athlete you've become and the hours of practice and the coaches who have pushed you is the little girl who fell in love with the game and never looked back...play for her." --Mia Hamm
This is why I play volleyball and want to continue at the next level.
