Athletic Excellence

The 6-foot-4 senior outside hitter recorded 93 kills, 20 digs, 17 service aces and 10 blocks during a pandemic-shortened season, leading the Yachtsmen to a 4-2 record. The state’s two-time returning Gatorade Volleyball Player of the Year, Hester had sparked Falmouth to Class A state titles in each of the past two full seasons. A three-time All-State honoree, she was a 2020-21 Under Armour First Team All-American, the first in state history.
