Kate Volk named 2020 Dick Dhabalt Athlete of the Year
Kate Volk has been named the 2020 recipient of the Dick Dhabalt Athlete of the Year Award at LLCC.
During the 2019 volleyball season, Volk helped lead the Loggers to 32 wins. Her season assist total is second in LLCC history along with 50 more assist matches than any other setter in school history. Her assist total led all of NJCAA volleyball in 2019.
Volk finished third on the team in digs and fourth in blocks. For her success on the court, Volk was named NJCAA 1st team All-American, MWAC Player of the Year and 1st team All-Region 24. In the classroom, Volk completed the year with a 4.0 GPA and was named to the NJCAA Academic All-American squad.
“Kate had a great season for us, but what I appreciate beyond the skills are her intangibles such as work ethic and integrity,” said Jim Dietz, LLCC head volleyball coach. “When you have an award like this, you want to make sure the winner upholds the standards Mr. Dhabalt set in his service to LLCC, and I think Kate is a perfect example of those values. Better still, regardless of this award, Kate will not stop putting the work in to get better. As a coach, you always love players like her.”
The LLCC Dick Dhabalt Athlete of the Year Award was established in February 2015 in honor of Mr. Dhabalt, former athletic director, head men’s basketball coach and faculty member, and acknowledges his dedication to education, athletics and students at LLCC.
In the news
Ron Riggle, athletic director and baseball coach, was interviewed by Channel1450.com yesterday, April 23, regarding cancellation of the spring sports season due to Covid-19 and moving forward for fall. In addition, Dalton McGhiey, esports coach, is scheduled to be interviewed by Sports Radio 1450 tomorrow morning, April 25, regarding the new team sport at LLCC.
Katryel Clark named All-American for second time
Congratulations to Katryel Clark, LLCC sophomore, from Auburn! She was recently named an NJCAA third team All-American. Clark averaged 13.7 points a game for the Loggers and led the team to its second consecutive 27-win season. This is the second time she has earned this award, as she was named a second team All-American last season.
“Kat is a special kid. Most people don’t know it, but she played on a bad ankle most of the conference schedule this season,” stated Chad Jones, LLCC head women’s basketball coach. “This really had an impact on her stats, so to see her still manage to be an All-American is impressive.” Clark lead LLCC in scoring and rebounds in both of her years at LLCC en route to a combined 54-9 record. “I’m super proud of what Kat accomplished. It’s been fun to watch and will be greatly missed next year.”
Softball and baseball seasons cancelled
Per a decision by the NJCAA, the Loggers’ baseball and softball spring seasons have been cancelled. Ron Riggle, head baseball coach and athletic director, was interviewed March 17 for this State Journal-Register article about this decision.
