Exemplary Character

Godwin has volunteered locally as a youth volleyball coach and as part of multiple community-service initiatives through her church youth group. "Not only was Elsa an efficient attacker, but her ball control was a central part of what Sentinel did this season," said Amy Roberts, head coach of Big Sky High. "Her defense and passing is huge, and she is a threat in the frontcourt as well as offensively in the backcourt."
