Volleyball

Coral Shores’ Sabina Naranjo is expected to be a big part of the Hurricanes’ volleyball team as she moves up from the JV squad, where she was the team MVP last season. A dual-threat athlete, Sabina won the award for most improved as a part of the girls varsity basketball team last season, her first playing basketball for Coral Shores.

Though it is the offseason, she has been hard at work; she is playing club volleyball for Miami Hype and has been a regular at Coral Shores volleyball open gyms. She plans to attend volleyball camp at Florida International University this summer.

Coral Shores volleyball coach Sam Ovalle is expecting Sabina to do big things for the Hurricanes this season and has taken notice of her work and improvement. Basketball coach Jarrod Mandozzi is expecting an even bigger junior season from Sabina, who was one of the Hurricanes’ leaders in three-point field goal percentage as well as one of the team’s top defenders.

For her exemplary work ethic and year-round dedication to improvement, Sabina Naranjo is the Keys Weekly Athlete of the Week.
