For the sixth year in a row, veteran volleyball coach Belinda Christopher will put together a USA Volleyball program at Marianna High School.
Players from four counties will be a part of the team.
Representing Liberty County will be Shelby White and Chelsea Gowan.
Blountstown will be represented by Brieanna Jerkins, Hope Jerkins, Jordan Griffin, and Randa McCroan.
On the court from Marianna will be Kaydee Nance, Arianna Domen, Codi Bailey, Rebecca Mullins, Lexie Basford, Breanna Johnson, Ashtin McMullian, Porsha Morgan, Annalise Brockner, and Aerial Folsom.
Fallon Braxton will be participating from Holmes County.
The tournaments will be played in Panama City and in the Alabama communities of Gulf Shores, Mobile, Daphne, and Fairhope.
The program is offered to girls of all ages but is specifically geared for the serious-minded players who are planning to take volleyball to the college level.
“Through this program, we have helped place eight young ladies to play at the next level, six who have come from Marianna High School,” Christopher said. About this year’s group of players, Christopher is very enthusiastic. “These girls have really shown potential and I am very excited about getting our first tournament under our belt. They are energetic and eager to advance,” she said.
