High school student-athletes make a lot of great memories over their career. They make memories with their teammates on and off the field and build friendships, some of which will last a lifetime. They also get to experience success with their teammates, and that is something that Gracie Morrow has enjoyed most about her volleyball career so far. 

“My favorite moment of my career is an easy choice,” she said. “It was when we won substate and getting to experience state my freshman year. Those are memories that I will cherish for a long time to come.”

Morrow is a sophomore at Maize South High School. The school’s head volleyball coach, Teri Larson, says that Gracie made an impact during her first varsity season and expects to see her role increase over the next few years.

“Gracie is only a sophomore but started last year as a freshman,” she said. “She led our team in kills (263) and passing. She made second team All-AVCT League and was named in the DigPrep Top 50 Freshmen in Kansas.”

Throughout her life and career, Morrow has had people that have made an impact on her life. But she says that there are a few that have had a bigger influence. 

“My role models would have to be my club coaches Shannon Lamb and Donna Lee,” she said. “They have coached me for the last six years and helped me realize how much I love playing and being part of a team.”
