GADSDEN – Gadsden State Community College freshman Allie Bryant has earned a spot on the Alabama Community College Conference All-North Second Team for outstanding performance on the volleyball court.

Bryant, a native of Jacksonville and a graduate of Pleasant Valley High School, has had an impressive freshman season with the Gadsden State Lady Cardinals. Courtney Brothers, head coach of the Gadsden State volleyball team, said she is a versatile player with exceptional defensive skills. Bryant finished the season with 510 digs, averaging 4.68 digs per set. She played in 29 matches and 109 sets, also contributing offensively with seven kills, 68 assists and 39 service aces.

“I am so proud of Allie for receiving this well-deserved recognition,” Brothers said. “Allie is a great leader on and off the court for our program. She excels in the classroom and on the court. Allie leads by her actions on the court, reads the ball well and is very quick to the ball. We are excited to watch Allie continue to grow and succeed next season at Gadsden State.”

Bryant’s performance was recognized early in the season when she was named Player of the Week on Sept. 3 by the ACCC following an impressive performance in the opening week of play. She recorded 98 digs in just 21 sets.
