The recruiting class of 08 is a class Coach Pena is truly pleased with.The Pirates were able to land two outstanding setters in Leah Davis and Kelsi New.Leah from Spanish Fort Al. and Kelsi from Gainesville ,Fl.Coach Pena then concentrated on bringing in three outstanding middles,Kali Pringle from Sneads,Fl., Jessica Long from Crestview,Fl. and Catherine Goodman from Warner Robbins,Ga.

The next priority was the combination of outside hitters and Libero's. Haley Forrester from Spanish Fort and Jessica Guidry from Ft. Walton Beach provided outstanding depth and options at those positions.Roxanne Salomone and Whitney Fisher signed from Navarre High School where they played for Dr. Shelley Bradford, who has always had an outstanding program at Navarre .Andrea Wilkinson transfered from Lake Sumter C.C. to provide a rightside hitter. The last piece of the puzzle was filled with the signing of Kiara Gay of Wakulla High School.Kiara's signing was viewed by Coach Pena as "a perfect fit". This class joins sophs Beth Ogletree and Dayna Ramsey to hopefully form another exciting volleyball season.
