ATHLETE OF THE WEEK: Kayden Faglier

Uwharrie Charter Academy, volleyball

Faglier has been a force on the front line for the Eagles as they’ve collected victories on a regular basis.

Faglier, a senior, is a hitter and middle blocker and she often provides the finishing touches on UCA points. She has regularly led the team in kills during the first few weeks of the season.

UCA won 12 of its first 13 matches prior to Labor Day. They’re about to embark into the teeth of their Piedmont Athletic Conference schedule with only a couple of more non-conference matches sprinkled in.

Last year, Faglier was a big part of the Eagles’ strong run in the postseason.

In the past four full seasons of prep volleyball, the Eagles have reached the 20-win mark three times and they might be headed toward that territory again.
