This weeks athlete spotlight is going to shine a light on a newcomer to the Celina High School volleyball team.
Megan Hodges is a very dedicated freshman volleyball player that has played for Celina Junior High and has stood out among other stars.
Hodges is also an integral part of the Madfrog 15 Green club volleyball team. Since Hodges plays both club volleyball and volleyball for the Bobcats, she has to be able to handle juggling the demands of her two teams to make sure she gives 100% to both.
She says, “Luckily club and school volleyball season dontt conflict.” Being on both teams increases the opportunity to attract college coaches.
Hodges also says, “It’s is very time consuming, you have to be 100% committed to the sport.” This level of dedication shows how determined she is to being the best she can be.
As just an incoming freshman, Hodges is already attracting some college attention. Coming on the the high school volleyball team shouldn’t be hard for the young freshman considering she has encouragement from her two older sisters who have been on the varsity team in previous years. Her older sister Hannah is an incoming senior and has been on the varsity team for three years.
Celina volleyball had some changes in the coaching staff for this upcoming year. New head coach and girls athletic coordinator Coach Ginger Murray is coming in from the junior high and is ready to do an amazing job for the girls athletics.
Hodges is excited for the upcoming season and said, “Coach Murray was my coach in 7th grade and we had a great relationship. All coaches bring something different to the table so I’m excited to see what happens.” Hopefully we will see some great things on the court this year.
I asked Hodges what four words she would use to describe herself as a player and a teammate and she responded with, “Competitive, resilient, motivator and positive.” Hodges is someone who will bring the motivation in the locker room and excitement on the court.
Here at OurCelina, we are ready to see what impact she has on the upcoming four years that she will be on the court for Celina.
