Snow Named League MVP Unprecedented Third Year in a Row

Paityn Snow played varsity all four years and was the first sophomore to be named league MVP in anyone’s recollection. She exceeded 500 kills in the season, making her the first player ever to do so at Liberty Ranch or in the Sierra Valley Conference. She was the first player to reach the 1,000-kill benchmark. And Snow didn’t stop there; she finished her season adding those kills and set the record high with more than 1,500. “My coaches have taught me to play the game as if it were my last, and this season that really was the case. I have worked very hard for this sport, and I have loved every second doing it.” Snow, pictured here, digs deep and saves the ball. Photo by Paige Lampson Photo by Paige Lampson
