Heaven’s hard work, determination, and competitive spirit have helped shape this program, and we are so proud of all she has accomplished.

No matter what was asked of her, Ava’s answer was never “no.” She has always been willing to do whatever the team needed to succeed.

This year’s MVP, Ava is known not only for her talent and reliability, but for the calm and steady presence she brings to the court.

Hailee has been the heart of our defense and such an unforgettable part of our program.

A 3-year captain, Hailee has been a true leader both on and off the court. She has always been willing to support her teammates — whether that meant having their back in difficult moments, offering encouragement, or giving the tough feedback needed to help the team grow. Her leadership, determination, and passion for the game set the standard for those around her.

Hailee’s accomplishments speak for themselves as our Defensive Player of the Year and the holder of our school records for most digs. But beyond the stats, her grit, competitiveness, and commitment to her team are what will leave the biggest legacy.

We are so proud to celebrate Hailee as she heads to Florida Gulf Coast University majoring in Pre-Professional Biology. We cannot wait to see all the amazing things ahead for you in this next chapter. ❤️🖤
