Harrison Central Head Volleyball Coach Grace Godich is preparing her team for the 2025 season with the help of Assistant Head Coach Taya Rocchi and new Assistant Coach Kate Crothers, a former Huskies standout who graduated in 2020.
This year, the Huskies will field 20 players between the varsity and junior varsity squads. The varsity team returns three starters and letter winners — senior Hannah Grady, junior Leah Grady and junior Mikayla Pelegreen.
“You will see a lot of new faces this year after losing six seniors last season,” Godich said. “The Huskies varsity team will have five freshmen, three juniors and two seniors on the court. I am excited for this season and expect great things. I can't wait to show everyone the hard work that this group has put in over the summer. I hope that everyone can come out and support these hard-working girls.”
