Addie Schoenberger, currently a senior at Hamilton, has been playing volleyball for 10 years. She recently committed to playing college volleyball at Missouri S&T.
Schoenberger’s teammate, senior Eva Finnessy, says about her, “Addie May has been an exceptional teammate no matter what. Throughout high school she has improved tremendously on the court, she has definitely worked so hard to get where she is today. Not just on the court but off the court she is also a joy to be around, and will never fail to make you laugh. I'm glad I have become so close to her, and got to play multiple years with her.”
Her current high school coach, Traci Buhr, also says about Scheonberger, “Addie has committed to Missouri S&T. Addie has shown more growth in 4 years of a player than I have remembered in my coaching career at Hamilton. She has let her drive and her passion lead her not only to a starting position, but to a college scholarship also. She plays with heart and emotion and I know she will carry that on to college with her.”
