Zion Paden will volley to the next level

Volleyball has been an integral part of Zion Paden’s life. Due to her hard work, dedication, and success at the high school level, she will be volleying at the college level next year. Paden’s junior and senior years have been successful to the point of drawing the attention of college recruiters. Last week, she inked on the dotted line to continue her playing days while furthering her education at Coastal Alabama Community College.
Paden was surrounded by teammates
For her junior year, she logged in 138 kills, 16 aces, 62 blocks, 27 digs, and 80 serve receives. In Paden’s senior year, she had 148 kills, six aces, 60 blocks, 22 digs and 72 serve receives. Those stats were strong enough to gain the attention at the next level and she was proud to accept the offer from Coastal.
Congratulations to Paden on her accomplishments and her choice of Coastal from the publisher and staff of the TIMES.
