Female Athlete of the Week - Abby Mihalkanin, Girls Volleyball
Congratulations to our Athlete of the Week, Abby Mihalkanin. Over the weekend Abby had to step up and run the offense all six rotations. Abby is considerably undersized to play all the way around and is only a sophomore, but she played fearless and led the Hornets to a 3-2 record in a very difficult tournament. Besides leading the team in setting, she also lead the team behind the service line compiling the most aces over the weekend. Great Job Abby! Congratulations on a great week!
