Name: Maria Lucas High School: Butler Grade: 12 Position: Outside Hitter/Defensive Specialist Background Info: Lucas has been a four-year starter for the Golden Tornado, leading the team in kills the last two seasons. She has been named to the first team of the section all-stars the last two years and was named to the third team of the WPIAL Class 4A All-Star Team last year. She has committed to Shippensburg University and will major in business marketing and continue to play volleyball. Quotes from Butler coach Meghan Lucas: "Maria is a leader. She has been on the court in whatever position I have asked her to play. Some years libero, and some years an outside hitter. She always puts the team first and does what she can to lead. She missed the entire last summer of playing due to a severe ATV accident she was in on May 12, 2018. She spent a month in a wheelchair and couldn’t even start playing again until August 1. Her commitment to getting back on the court, and not only playing, but playing well, has been an inspiration to all. Maria has that competitive edge and grit that coaches dream of having on their team. I am honored to be her coach and blessed to be her mom." |
