Why did you chose ICC?

"I chose Itawamba for several reasons. One reason being a chance to make history as a member of the very first ICC volleyball team. The most important reason, however, was the belief Coach Morgan had in me from the first moment I met her. She gave me a sense of confidence and I admire her for her faith and knowledge of the game. I'm so excited to make history with Coach Morgan and my new teammates." – Cranford

What can Mary Leslie bring to ICC?

"I am so excited for Itawamba to have Mary Leslie on their inaugural team because she is not only a great volleyball player, but a great person and a role model on and off the court. She puts her whole heart into everything she does, and she has a smile and an energy that is contagious." – Coach Amy Weatherington, Tipton Rosemark. 

From Coach Morgan

"Mary Leslie is a complete six-rotation player who will be a glue to our lineup as an outside hitter. She hits a heavy ball, puts up large blocks, and can pass too. She brings a calmness to the court and will make the players around her better. She is a born leader and will also help our team in leading our community service events."
