Avery Lady Vikings senior volleyball player Megan Robbins signed a National Letter of Intent to play volleyball for Sandhills Community College
“I first heard about Megan through Mr. Thomas Dellinger,III . His son is currently on our men’s basketball team. After contacting Megan’s coach Mrs. Kim Hayes and Megan, I invited her to come down for open tryouts on January 22,” Sandhills head volleyball coach Alicia Hill said of her newest Lady Flyer. “She along with 20 other individuals were at tryouts. The first thing I noticed about Megan was how energetic and polite she was. The entire tryout she was upbeat and very involved. She was willing to play any position, and I see her as a huge impact on the outside for us next season. She has great hops and for her size will fool a lot of opponents. We are extremely excited to add Megan to our roster for the fall.”
Robbins signed with Sandhills during a ceremony held last Wednesday, Feb. 2, atAvery County High School
“I want to extend congratulations to Megan. We’re proud of Megan’s accomplishments while she has been a student atAvery High School
“We’re proud of what she’s done for Avery and we wish her well in the future, which we know is bright and that you will do well in whatever you choose to do.”
Robbins, who starred on the hardcourt for the Lady Vikings and hopes to pursue an academic degree in pediatric nursing, expressed gratitude to the Avery program and is excited about playing for the Flyers this fall.
“The coaches are really nice and welcomed me right off the bat. They have a really nice campus and the program was impressive. The team was encouraging of everybody and tried to push each other to work hard. They made me fit right in,” Robbins said of Sandhills. “To impress Coach Hayes here at Avery you have to work hard to finish first, not last. I’m really competitive and I hate losing, and Coach Hayes has helped a lot with helping me build character, work hard and improve as a player. She has done a lot to help me to hustle and never give up.”
It was a special day for Robbins’ father Curtis, who was extremely proud of his daughter and everything she has accomplished as a student and prep player.
“I’m proud of Megan. She’s excelled in soccer and volleyball and has always stepped up to her competition. She’s very competitive. Her mother and I both played sports in college and we’ve always encouraged her to play,” Curtis Robbins said of his daughter. “We went to Sandhills and were impressed with the coaches and program. The coach is top-notch and emphasizes the girls working hard and becoming all they can be. They have a good team, ranked seventh in the nation, and she will be playing some of the best players and teams in the country.”
The Lady Vikings are losing a great player in Robbins, but Hayes commented on how Avery’s loss of a special volleyball player and strong competitor will be a great gain for the Flyers.
“Megan has been one of our strongest leaders. I’m excited for her because she possesses a fiery instinct in her that she wants to be surrounded at a higher level with kids better than her that really pushes her to improve. She has huge aspirations, she wants to be challenged and pushed, and I think Sandhills is going to be the perfect fit for her,” Hayes said. “I’m excited about where she can possibly go after community college, because Division 1 schools look at players out of community college. I’m really excited for her to be at this school. The coach just loved her, and I’m excited to see how she performs this year and to see what’s going to happen for her after two years. I’m thrilled and excited for Megan.”
