Adrienne Ringer, a first-year player from Austin's Pflugerville HS, has become HT's first All-Region honoree as she was selected to the NAIA Region VI Second Team. The 5' 8" setter led the Lady Rams with 620 assists, averaging 5.54 per game. She also ranked high in service aces, and came on strong late in the season in digs.
"Adrienne is our leader on the court," said Head Coach Ronnie Kaase. "She's the stable, steady quarterback of our offense. She's well-deserving of this honor, and were all very proud of her."
