The 5-foot-11 senior outside hitter recorded 181 kills, 111 digs and 66 service aces, leading the Red Riots (10-7) to their first Class A state finals appearance. A First Team All-State and All-Conference honoree, Mawhinney was also named the Class A Player of the Year by the Maine Volleyball Coaches Association.
Mawhinney has maintained a B average in the classroom. She remains undecided upon a collegiate destination.
Mawhinney has volunteered locally on behalf of the Preble Street homeless shelter and resource center. “Molly Mawhinney would be a standout on any team in the state,” said Melissa Brandt, head coach at Massabesic High. “Her experience and maturity just add to her skills on the court. She’s developed as a great player over the last few years.”
