Nov. 1—Gracie Manley played her part perfectly in Addison's dynasty.

The senior collected 97 assists, nine aces, nine digs, seven kills and four blocks to help the Lady Bulldogs claim the Class 1A state volleyball title last week.

Top-ranked Addison bested No. 9 Kingston, No. 2 Spring Garden and No. 5 Covenant Christian — all in straight sets — to win its third straight state crown, ninth in the past 10 seasons and 14th overall.

Leading the effort was Manley, who recorded MVP honors for her contributions.

She is The Times' Athlete of the Week.

Abby Waldrep (26 kills and four blocks), Dacey Baker (35 kills and seven digs) and Bailee Ory (28 digs and two aces) joined Manley on the All-Tournament Team.

Athlete of the Week, which is sponsored by Mitch Smith Chevrolet, is open to all local athletes.
