The Clarion Area Volleyball Booster Club hosted their three Seniors, Alivia Diehl, Marley Kline and Anna O’Toole and their parents with a special Senior Night Celebration, held between the Junior Varsity and Varsity matches of their contest with Brookville, on Thursday, October 2nd.
As folks entered the lobby, they were greated by a wonderful display featuring photos of the Seniors flanked by spiraling towers of orange, black and white balloons each capped with a balloon volleyball.
The ceremony began with the each Senior being escorted to their coaches and awaiting parents, by two teammates.
Bobcat Volleyball scorekeeper, Tedra Craig introduced each of the Seniors.
While she introduced the Seniors, Tedra read brief biography. The biographies were included in the programs, which were produced by DMS Printing and Mailing, featuring full color front and back covers and interior photo pages. (Images from the program and bios are below.)
The players were presented with gift bags from team, which included inspirational gifts such as a book, necklace, and bracelet among other items.
The Brookville Seniors were also recognized and presented with gift bags.
A post match celebration, featuring pizza and cupcakes, was held in the cafeteria.
