Coming off of a 4-22 season a year ago, the Sandy Creek volleyball team have seen a change at the helm of leading the Cougars in 2019, as Kortney Allen has taken over the head coaching duties.
Allen welcomes two seniors and four juniors to the 2019 season, including seniors Makenzie Dane and Marilyn Whitiker, along with juniors Jaden Claycamp, Caileigh Tripe, Maryn Martin and McKenzy Sanders.
Allen’s first Cougar squad is loaded with a strong sophomore class, as 13 10th grade players are on the roster, including Leah Hatch, Jenna Heinz, Kennedi Tripe, Caitlin Rempe, Kirstyn Sherbeck, Lexi League, Kynnzie Skalka, Jaylin Sutton, Jenna Kempf, Ariana Clark, Megan Slechta, Brynn Claycamp and Davina Rivera.
Jaden Claycamp returns as the top hitter for Allen, as Claycamp gained 81 kills as a sophomore last year. In the service lane, Martin returns after gaining 21 aces, while serving just over 90 percent during her sophomore season in 2018.
