PCA Volleyball Makes School History!

The Varsity Volleyball team went to the Baron Bash tournament in Sumter on Saturday and beat Sumter High School (AAAAA) and Heathwood Hall (AAA) to advance to the Championship game against Lee Academy (AA). PCA ended up winning the Championship game and being the first PCA Volleyball team to win this tournament in School History!  Katelyn Howard and Charlee Olson were named All Tournament Players and the team moved to 13-0.  

More firsts for this team is that they are now ranked #1 in the State for AA Volleyball. "I am just so proud of this team.  Being undefeated and ranked #1 is nice, but I am more excited to see these girls having fun and playing some amazing volleyball," says Coach Fort.  

PCA Volleyball had one of its busiest weeks by also beating two conference opponents, Orangeburg Prep and Northside Christian. "Northside Christian is always a tough match because it is an emotion-filled game. I was so impressed with the character and attitude of both of our teams to not get caught up in that," says Coach Fort. "This week we are playing two more conference games and our goal is to stay laser-focused on each game, which is easier said than done when you are 13-0."  

PCA Student Makes Verbal Commitment To D1 School

Congratulations to senior Ava Romfo who has verbally committed to UNCG to play Women's Golf. UNCG is an NCAA Division 1 school playing in the southern conference. The campus has approximately 18,000 students.  

"I really believe this is an incredible opportunity for me to grow both in golf and in academics," says Ava.  "UNCG is finishing up a new nursing building that will be done in the spring, which is what I am thinking about studying. The opportunity seemed provide the things I needed in a school and team, and I am so excited to see what the future holds for me at UNCG."

While Ava has spent years training and perfecting her game, she says the offer developed rather quickly earlier this month. The UNCG Women's Golf coach texted her a few weeks ago as Ava was traveling home from a golf tournament. The two talked later that night and at the end of the conversation, she was offered a spot on the team. Due to COVID, the school was not offering personal tours, but Ava traveled to Greensboro to visit the campus on her own, and accepted the offer!
