Two Fannin County Lady Rebels volleyball players chose to extend their academic and volleyball careers by signing a scholarship to Truett McConnell University Monday, February 3.
Haley Parks and Cheyanne Tilson gathered with family, coaches and friends in the Fannin County High School cafeteria two celebrate the two senior Lady Rebels.
Parks and Tilson played key parts in helping the Lady Rebel volleyball team to a 32-16 record last season.
Fannin County head volleyball coach Jason Stanley talked very highly of both seniors saying, “This is a special day for me because this was one of my goals, and I’m really excited for Truett McConnell, but I’m more excited for Haley and Cheyanne because they get an opportunity to keep playing after they turn in the blue jersey. This is a special day for me, it’s a day that I’ll put in my back pocket and carry with me.”
Both Tilson and Parks are set to enroll at Truett McConnell in the fall.
