This first Cedar Ridge Red Wolf of the Week for the 2022-20023 academic year is senior volleyball libero Grace Young. Last season, Young was a member of the 3A State Championship volleyball team, the first female sports team in school history to win a state title. In the state championship match against North Iredell, Young scored the point of the match with a diving dig off a Raider attack that bounced off her hand and hugged the near sideline that send the Red Wolves fans into a frenzy at Reynolds Coliseum. A third-year varsity player, Young grew up playing volleyball and softball in the White Cross community. She played alongside many of her current teammates at Cedar Ridge, including Cameron Lloyd, Julie Altieri and Anaya Carter. Last year, Young announced her commitment to play in college at UNC Asheville. In addition to playing volleyball, Young started playing high school basketball last year under head coach Megan Skouby, who is also an assistant on the volleyball team. In her three years with Cedar Ridge volleyball, Young has never lost a conference game. She is 22-0 against league opponents with two conference regular season championships, a conference postseason title, an Eastern Regional championship and the state title.
