This is what Katrina Miller had to say about Reagan Ray,

Reagan is the kind of volleyball player every team dreams of having—dedicated, driven, and always leading by example. Whether it’s during practice, in games, or supporting her teammates from the sidelines, Reagan gives 100% effort in everything she does.
Her work ethic is unmatched, showing up every day with focus, intensity, and a genuine love for the game. She’s the first to dive for a tough ball, the one who encourages others after a mistake, and the player who never backs down from a challenge. Reagan plays with heart, grit, and determination—qualities that push her team to be better every single day.
But what truly sets Reagan apart is her kindness. She may be one of the most genuinely caring people we’ve ever had the pleasure of coaching. She treats everyone with respect, lifts others when they’re struggling, and creates a positive, welcoming environment wherever she goes. Her quiet strength and compassion make her not just a leader on the court, but a role model off it as well.
Reagan, thank you for being the kind of athlete and teammate who makes everyone around you better. Your dedication, humility, and heart are what make you so special—and more than deserving of this recognition. We’re lucky to have you on the team!
