Sisters Outlaws volleyball star Shelly Greene was named 3A Player of the Year
last week in a coaches poll. Greene, a junior hitter, helped lead the Outlaws
to their first 3A state championship.
Outlaws senior Heather Dempsey was named to first team all-state and Suzanne
Fouts, also a senior, was named to the second team all-state. Kelly Davis
received honorable mention.
"I was really shocked," Greene said. "I was really happy because my hard work
really paid off."
Greene believes she was recognized for her aggressive play at the net and for
her competitiveness.
"When the pressure's on more, I rise to the occasion," she said.
Greene has one more year of high school volleyball ahead of her, and she
doesn't plan to rest on her laurels. Not satisfied with simply being a dominant
hitter, Greene plans to round out her game, improving her setting and
passing.
Dempsey and Fouts said they hope to play volleyball in college, but they are
both putting academics first.
"If I got the opportunity to play, I think it would be a great opportunity for
my," Dempsey said, but, "mostly my education comes first."
Fouts said she is looking into programs at the University of Oregon and at the
University of California, Santa Barbara. She is also interested in pursuing
beach volleyball, which has become a high-profile Olympic sport. Like Dempsey,
however, she said volleyball is secondary to her education.
Greene, Dempsey, Fouts, Davis and Amie Garrison all plan to play for their high
school coach Rod Jones in club volleyball this summer.
