WELCOME TO THE DEN: Champion guiding No. 2 Montgomery to potential State-run
NO. 2 -- MONTGOMERY BEARS
Head Coach: Stormi Champion
2023: 32-18/Regional Semifinalists
STORMI CHAMPION ENTERS HER THIRD YEAR OF LEADING THE MONTGOMERY VOLLEYBALL PROGRAM AND IS FRESH OFF A REGIONAL SEMIFINALS APPEARANCE IN 2023.
The Lady Bears went 32-18 a year ago and have plenty of firepower coming back to definitely be considered a contender in Class 5A.
Three-year letterman Ellie Sadler returns for Champion at the libero position, after accumulating 699 digs a year ago, which broke the single-season record.She was a second-team, all-district selection.
Delaney Wright returns as the big hitter for Montgomery, coming off a 545-kill campaign. Wright also racked up 543 digs, 57 aces and 36 blocks. She was the GHVCA Newcomer of the Year and the District 17-5A Newcomer of the Year.
Others to watch include Savannah Welch (172 kills, 82 blocks, 103 digs), McKenzie Hope (282 kills, 144 digs) and Peyton Harts (80 kills, 27 aces, 19 blocks, 185 digs).
Hope is coming back off an injury and should be a big piece to the Lady Bears’ success.
