Carley Adams stepped up when it mattered most.

The junior standout helped the Raiders win three matches at the Cullman County volleyball tournament this week, including a three-set sweep of West Point in the championship clash, to take home their fourth straight county crown.

Adams, who has 211 digs and 197 kills this season, was named tournament MVP.

“She made some big plays on the front and back row to help us gain momentum or keep it,” Good Hope coach Natasha Holder said.

Adams is The Times’ Athlete of the Week.
