VARSITY GIRL

Junior Mali Danavall was selected as an Indian of the Week by varsity volleyball coach Brandy Corbett. “After an injured JV player was unable to return to play,” said Corbett, “Mali was asked if she would be willing to help by being a part of both teams for the next few weeks. She accepted our request and had an outstanding week of play on both teams. She is a great example of ‘team before self.’ She assertively, yet gracefully, encouraged and helped to lead our JV team, and her play improved exponentially each day.”
