“She will be hard to replace. Bailey is a vocal leader on and off the court.” Tanya Lybarger, HHS Volleyball coach said during the signing ceremony last week.

When asked why she chose Pensacola Powell responded, “ I was able to practice with the team and they made me fell welcome and a part of the team.” The coach took her around the campus and to the beach and all involved with Pensacola made her feel welcome.
