NATCHITOCHES – The rich get richer if you are Northwestern State volleyball with the signing of another potential offensive superstar on Wednesday.
The Lady Demons inked Kingwood, Texas, native Breanna Burrell on National Signing Day as the next force on the outside.
"When we went looking for the 2020 class it was with the mindset of who is going to replace
Reagan Rogers and
Hannah Brister when the time comes," coach
Sean Kiracofe said. "So, it was a tall task, but Breanna immediately stood out."
Burrell has been a key member of four straight district 22-6A championship during her prep career at Kingwood High School. She was named first-team all-district following her junior season and is a two-time all-Vype outside hitter.
She amassed over 1,000 kills in her time at Kingwood, was named to the Under Armor All-American watchlist prior to her senior season and named District 22-6A MVP this year.
"We took our time to see how she competed in both good and difficult situations. She is very competitive and is everything you want in a L1 type outside.
"She's going to get kills whether the other team knows she's getting the ball or not. She's going to be a great addition to Demon Volleyball and follow in line behind some great outsides."
