COLUMBIA, S.C. — Just days after she played her final game in a North Central uniform, Alayna Johnson signed with the South Carolina volleyball program.
On Saturday, North Central lost a five-game marathon match to St. Joseph’s in the Class 2A state championship. It was the Knights’ first appearance in the state finals since 1995. Johnson was the driving force behind North Central’s resurgance under head coach Andy Johnson who just happens to be Alayna’s father.
The coach and his family will be making a lot of trips down I-20 to watch Alayna play at South Carolina.
A five time All-State selection and five-time Region Player of the Year, Alayna added another major award to her resume on Wednesday when she was named to the AVCA High School All-America First Team.
