Mrs. Milligan, coach, hugs Edwards after speaking at her signing.
Senior, Maddie Edwards recently signed a contract to play collegiate level volleyball at Hanover College. For someone who has been committed to this sport practically her whole life, for this to be happening is a dream come true for Maddie. Maddie is a leader on the court, and someone that many of the younger players look up to. “I’m definitely going to miss my team. I made so many great memories with them that I’ll never forget. They were more family to me than anything. I just loved the bond we had and how close we got. Especially my senior year,” said Edwards. Leaving behind high school and the volleyball program is going to be a challenge, but it is something Edwards has been waiting for since she was a little girl. “This experience is definitely a dream come true! I’ve worked for this moment since seventh grade. I was in fourth grade when I decided I wanted to play at the collegiate level and I wasn’t going to give up until I made that dream come true so I would say this has been a life long goal of mine,” stated Edwards. Edwards has been very successful so far in her athletic career, she reached the 1,000 kill club during sectionals at Harrison High School and her hitting percentage was second in the state her senior season.
