The 5-foot-8 junior setter led the Bees to a 28-1 record and the Division I state championship this past season. Williams amassed 1,187 assists, 268 digs, 141 kills and 34 blocks while posting a kill percentage of .480 and a hitting percentage of .388. A MaxPreps Second Team All-American and a Division I First Team All-State selection, she recorded 50 assists, 20 digs and three blocks as the Bees knocked off three-time defending champion Mount Notre Dame High in the state final.
Williams has maintained a 3.56 GPA in the classroom. She has made a verbal commitment to play volleyball on scholarship at the University of Cincinnati beginning in the fall of 2018.
A three-year member of her school's student council, Williams has volunteered locally as part of a fundraising campaign to benefit the homeless and as a youth volleyball coach. "Shannon is a very dynamic and athletic player," said Jim BeHarry, head coach of Padua Franciscan High. "There is no way Brecksville could have accomplished what they did this year without her. She is a six-rotation and five-tool player."
