ATHLETE OF THE WEEK: Eva Vuncannon

Asheboro, volleyball

The senior setter has helped put teammates in good positions as the Blue Comets have enjoyed a strong opening stretch of the season.

Vuncannon averaged almost 20 assists per match through the first 10 matches of the season. She has plenty of support in terms of finishing at the net from Lia George, Emma Kate Forester, Adalynn Scherer and Kailey Brown.

Vuncannon is second on the Asheboro team in serve percentage.

Through 10 matches, the Blue Comets have nine victories – almost halfway to last year’s 19-win total.

Vuncannon also is a member of the girls’ soccer program at Asheboro.
