Faulkner State Announces New Arrivals

Faulkner State Community College announced a volleyball recruit and a new staff member on Saturday.

Taylor Sauder of Roanoke-Benson High School declared her intent to become a Sun Chief during an interview for the Woodford County Journal. She becomes the second setter to commit to FSCC in a week, after Kelsey Young of Eureka signed a letter of intent.

"We are excited to have Taylor on board," said head coach Dr. Ritchie Dulaney. "We've lacked depth at the setter position in recent years and to suddenly have two in our plans is a major part of our foundation for the future. We can thank our boosters and athletic department for helping make this happen."

Although no volleyball scholarships were available, the team also signed student manager Wade Sauder to a 4-year contract laden with incentives. Sauder, a double major in Physical Education and Canine Studies, received two full academic scholarships as well as two apartments. Division 1 NJCAA rules stipulate no limit on staff compensation.

While Sauder would not confirm his need for or anticipated use of the second apartment, he left open the possibility of renting the two-bedroom residence to volleyball team members if they were "very nice to me."

Gulf Shores will never be the same after these three get done with it!

And good thing for the tutoring....because I don't see a lot of voluntary homework being done when the beach is so close and surely calling all their names!
