Bailey Williams- I wanted to include Bailey Williams who is a senior at Bowling Green High School because of her interesting background. Williams decided not to play volleyball her junior year because she wanted to focus on academics and step away from sports. She was the voice of the state-bound Lady Purples throughout the whole season and supported the team even without being on the roster. This past year, Williams decided she wanted to put the jersey back on and play her last year for BRAVO. She’s an inspiring story to never give up on what you want in life, and there’s always room for second chances. As a defensive specialist, she’s making her name known and excelling in the back row!
