“It’s always hard to adjust to a new lineup at first, but we seem to be getting into a groove with it.”

“We had McKenna Pierce last year and she was a really good setter, but we have two new setters this year and they have fit in pretty well,” Grine said. The Blue Devils have a pair of first-year setters in junior Kylie Faibry and senior Tatum Verner, who was mainly an outside hitter last season and will continue that role along with her new setting responsibilities. It’s something she’s working to pay forward with some younger teammates.

The team aspect is something that is very important to Grine, because it was older teammates who since have graduated who helped her develop the confidence she showed last year. “I enjoyed being with the team and have stuck with it.” “I was really hooked on soccer at first, but once I started playing volleyball I liked the team aspect of it,” Grine said. Once she tried volleyball for herself she knew it was the sport she wanted to pursue. Grine was a soccer player growing up, but after watching her older sister, Ashley, play for the Leechburg volleyball team she became interested in the sport. Offensively, she’s our go-to, and she’s a great blocker.” “She can really play anywhere,” Hebrank said. The move also will create matchup difficulties for opponents. She really helps her teammates.”įor the 2021 season, Grine will start at outside hitter, moving from the middle, because of her ability to adapt quickly. “She’s very confident in her game and very confident in where everyone else needs to be. “When I think about when she was a freshman, she was still a little timid, and this year in particular as an incoming senior she’s been a huge leader,” Leechburg coach Eve Hebrank said. With the experience she’s gained and the belief instilled in her from teammates, Grine, who is listed at 6-foot-2, blossomed into an all-section performer at middle hitter last year for a Leechburg team that reached the WPIAL Class A quarterfinals. Now, she has a confidence in her game that matches her physical tools. Kalli Grine has been the tallest girl in her class dating to elementary school, so she always has been an intimidating presence on the volleyball court.
