MONTGOMERY, Ala.—Alabama State University Head Volleyball Coach Penny Lucas-White has announced the signings of two student-athletes during the early signing period.
ASU stayed in-state to pick up Autumn Trimble from McGill-Toolen Catholic High School in Mobile. Trimble stands 6’-1” and plays as a return specialist/libero.
Trimble has been a four-year member of both the volleyball and basketball teams at McGill-Toolen. She has been to consecutive state final fours with the volleyball team in 2012 and 2013.
The Lady Hornets are one of the top academic teams in the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) and Trimble will continue to add to that legacy. She is a three-time academic scholar award honoree (2010-12) and was a student ambassador in 2011 and 2012.
The Lady Hornets also dipped into the heavily talent-laden state of Texas to sign Briana Dorsey who played at Central High School in Fort Worth. She stands 5’-11” and will add to the already strong middle blocker/middle hitter position at ASU.
Like Trimble, Dorsey has a solid academic background and was named to the Academic All-District Team in 2010, 2011 and 2012. She was a 2012 Star Telegram First Team honoree and was the 2012 4-5A Co-Blocker MVP of the Year.
Dorsey was named one of the 100 Queens of the Court by VYPE DFW and in 2012-2013 she qualified for the USA Girl’s Junior Nationals.
