Athlete of the Year: Kylie Speight

North Stanly volleyball senior Kylie Speight is Athlete of the Week.

She was also the Yadkin Valley Conference player of the year in softball last spring.

Speight added to her trophy case after volleyball season. The Comets finished 25-7 and a perfect 10-0 in the Yadkin Valley, advancing to the state 2A semifinals. Speight led the team with more than 1,000 assists and was third in aces and kills per set.

The North Carolina Volleyball Coaches Association released its all-region teams, and Speight was named to the all-region team for Region 6. Two weeks later, the NCVCA also named her second-team all-state.
