The 6-foot-2 senior outside hitter recorded 442 kills, 196 digs and 38 service aces this past season, leading the Knights (21-4) to the regional semifinals. A 2016-17 Under Armour First Team All-American, Samedy is a member of the U.S. Women's Junior National Team and was selected Florida Dairy Farmers Miss Volleyball.
Samedy has maintained a 3.80 GPA in the classroom. She has signed a National Letter of Intent to play volleyball on scholarship at the University of Minnesota this fall.
Samedy has volunteered locally on behalf of the New Image Youth Center and Matthew's Hope Ministries for homeless outreach. "Stephanie Samedy is an amazing athlete and a great competitor," said Jeannie Clark, head coach at Harmony High. "By the end of the year, they were using her in almost every play and we could not shut her down. She's very talented, but she's also a very humble player, who doesn't flaunt her abilities on the court."
