McPherson helped lead a young Edison team to the semifinals, posting nine kills and a service ace in the semifinal match against Newport Harbor. McPherson has a cannon for an arm and can play the left or the right side. With McPherson playing at a high level, the Chargers will be in the mix when Sunset League play rolls around.

💪🏽 What’s something specific you’ve been working to add to your game this season, and why?
I’ve been working on making my topspin more consistent and making my approach more explosive. These adjustments give me more control and power, helping me become a more reliable attacker in every rotation.

💡 How would you describe your role on the court, and what do you do to elevate the players around you?
My role on the court is to lead by example. I always try to play with purpose and bring high energy that keeps everyone locked in. Whether it’s my hustle, communication, or attitude, I want to be someone who lifts the team and keeps our momentum going.

🧠 In high-pressure moments, what’s your mindset and how do you stay composed?
In big moments, I lean into the trust I have in my teammates and the trust they have in me. I stay aggressive and focused, ready for anything that comes our way. My mindset is simple: be prepared, be fearless, and never let up.

🌟 Off the court, how would your coaches and teammates describe you, and what personal qualities do you bring to a team culture?
They’d say I’m a passionate leader with high energy that’s hard to contain. I bring intensity and fire to everything I do, and I use that to keep the team motivated and focused during practices and games.

💥 What’s a fun fact about you that you’d want college coaches to know?
Outside of volleyball, I love surfing, golfing, and snowboarding. I’m all about learning new skills and pushing myself in different environments.
