“Carly is what would be considered a coach’s dream. Her work ethic, athleticism and attention to detail challenges you as a coach to think outside the box, raise the standards and dream bigger. Stating that Carly has a passion for the game of volleyball would be an understatement. It would be more accurate to describe volleyball as her life’s work, but with the benefit of that it never feels like work Carly as it is truly her passion in life. Carly is only counting down the hours until she can get back in the gym and that is evident in the way she is able to take over a game and completely dominate it on all fronts. And while the athleticism is visible to everyone who watches Carly, it misses the most important part of Carly which is her heart and ability to embrace her teammates as her family. Carly is primed and ready for this next stage in her life, her volleyball career. From the very first time meeting Mary Wise, I knew that Florida was going to be Carly’s home and I am so very excited to watch her thrive at the next level with her new family around her. Go Gators!” – Chris Lovett, Elevation Volleyball Head Coach

“Alexis Stucky is an outstanding combination of physical ability and volleyball IQ. I’ve never met an athlete who works harder at being a student of the game. Not only has she put in hundreds of hours training on the court, she is also an animal in the weight room. Her aptitude for studying film is what has created her high volleyball IQ and understanding of the game. Combined with her passion for winning, these behaviors have created an unbelievable volleyball athlete that is ready for success at the next level. She is a tremendous role model for every small-town kid in America and has proven that talent can come from anywhere, even Laramie, WY. Her court personality and her sportsmanship have won over all the volleyball fans in Wyoming and I look forward to her doing the same for Florida Volleyball.” – Jill Stucky, Laramie High School Varsity Head Coach
