History was made at Pendleton County High School on Wednesday, February 6 when senior Brianna Crouch signed a Letter of Intent to play volleyball with Thomas More College. She became the first athlete from PCHS to ever continue their volleyball career at the next level.

Brianna has had an outstanding career on the volleyball court which began six years ago under the tutelage of former PCHS Head Coach Darrell McLean. She and many others credit him for helping make the sport what it is today in Pendleton County.
