Assistant Coach Maleah Neely :
Kalee was a big part of our success when she came through. As a setter, she learned rotations and understood when to set certain hitters.
As she progressed, she began to see the court more and continued to make better and better decisions. While she is not the most athletically gifted volleyball player, she makes up for it by her knowledge of the game. We really impressed upon her the importance of understanding not only our rotations, but the rotations of the other team, and she has taken that with her to Ferrum.
She is positivity personified and will give her best in all aspects of her life from the volleyball court to the church pew. Kalee continues to impress me with her play at Ferrum and I’ve been so happy that she has been able to continue her career post high school.

Head Coach Cindy Edwards :
What can you say about a traffic you lady who is what a great teammate should be . Always help coaching them on what she see on the court even if she’s not on the court. Is a player that every coach needs in their program she’s the programs best recruiter. Always encouraging Always bringing energy.
Love her for the young woman she’s turning out to be. When she graduated from Carroll, we weren’t sure she would go to a 4 year college she is such a family oriented person. Her family is very important to her, so for here, too, be graduating next year, and going into education is so special, and I couldn’t be prouder.

I started playing Volleyball 🏐 when I was in the 3rd grade for the Carroll County Rec Department and ever since then I have been in Love with the game!
I’m so thankful 🙏 for the Sport and the people that have been there with me through it all. Volleyball has taught me a lot of life lessons and one of those is never give up because you can do hard things.
I really did not know that I was going to play Volleyball in College because I was always a homebody. My plan was to go to a Community College but all of that changed the night 🌙 that we played Magna Vista. The Ferrum Assistant Coach at the time came up to my Family 👪 and asked if I would be interested.
I am not going to lie, at first I was not going to pursue it until it hit me the night of my last Volleyball game at Carroll County that I might not touch a Volleyball again if I didn’t play in College.
So that’s how my journey began and I’m so thankful for the people that believed in me and pushed me to play collegiate Volleyball. I would not be where I’m at today if it wasn’t for my Family, Coaches and teammates.
I wanna give a special Shout Out to my Mom as she has been there every step of the way and never missed a game unless it was an Emergency. Without her, I don’t know where I would be right now.
The rest of my Family was there for me through it all and never left my side. I also wouldn’t be here without the most important person in my Life and that is Jesus Christ, my Savior.
He has guided me every step of my journey and if it wasn’t for Him, I wouldn’t even be here. My favorite verse that keeps me going is Proverbs 3:6 – “In All the Ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct thy Path”
So for all of the Athletes out there that want to give up because they think they are not good enough in College, I want them to keep pushing because you can do hard things and your dreams can come true.
