VOLLEYBALL

-

She ended her career with 903 total digs, 82 aces, 160 assists and a serve percentage of 94.1.

“It feels great,” she said. “I’ve loved volleyball for a really long time and it feels great to be able to keep playing for another four years. I really love (their) coach. She’s been playing volleyball for a really long time. She’s really inspiring and I really just love the area down there.”

Ludy also said she was happy that she would get to experience college alongside her best friend.

“I’ll be with somebody I know down there (and) it won’t be so overwhelmi­ng,” she added. “I’m hoping to be able to be energetic on the back row and bring some energy to the team. Hopefully, it’ll be a big family down there.”

Both players were All-region second team selections as juniors before earning spots on the first team this season. They

were both also Catoosa-walker Dream Team first team picks the last two years.

“Even though they play two completely different positions, the one common factor is that they’re both crazy athletic,” Logan stated. “Imani can jump out of the gym with power and Kloe’s flying all over the place. I remember a JV game her freshman or sophomore year where she jumped over a bench one time to get to a ball.

“Just the level of energy and athleticis­m they bring is huge.”

Logan said it was great for the Lafayette program to have two more Division II signees, especially with Savannah State being the same school that the late Karissa Tatum once played for.

“When Karissa signed there (in 2017), that was big,” he said. “Kloe told me she was going there and Imani was still working it out (at the time), but when she said she was going there too, I thought it was pretty cool because they’ve been best friends throughout high school.”

Cook is leaning toward biology as a major, while Ludy wants to study psychology in college.
