Overton volleyball player Jolee Ryan voted SBLive’s Nebraska high school athlete of the week
Overton volleyball player Jolee Ryan was voted SBLive’s Nebraska High School Athlete of the Week for Oct. 23-29. Ryan totaled 79.87% of the votes.
Ryan is approaching 400 kills for the season and will have a chance to pass that in Lincoln after leading the Eagle attack to a win in last week’s district final. The senior came into the match with double-digit kills in five straight matches and made it six when she sent 15 shots to the floor and hit a robust .419 during a sweep over Wauneta-Palisade.
Ryan could also go over 1,500 kills for her career at the state tournament. She and the Eagles are looking for a return to the state title match after suffering a five-set defeat last season.
Perhaps the most impressive part about Ryan is her career .391 hitting percentage on over 3,200 attempts.
