Quotes from coach: "I have had the pleasure to coach Ca’Mari since 7th grade. Ca’Mari is a very hard worker and strives to improve every time she plays. Ca’Mari always gives 100 percent in practice and is hustler on the court. Ca’Mari is always helping her teammates to become better players and is a positive role model for the younger girls on the team. Ca’Mari has worked very hard to be a great middle hitter but to also earn a backrow player spot. Ca’Mari does plan to continue to play a sport in college. She is also an outstanding basketball player. It has been a pleasure to coach Ca’Mari and watch her grow not only as a volleyball player but also as a leader.
