As a rising senior, Emma Claire Long knew she had to step up for her G.W. Long volleyball team.
Enterprise head coach Jennifer Graham, meanwhile, was ready to help the Wildcats push through a long-standing stumbling block for EHS volleyball.Through her leadership and stellar play on the court, Long helped a Rebel team that lost three senior starters to a Class 2A state semifinal appearance and a 29-11 record.
Emma Claire Long knew her role as leader would be valuable for the Rebels. She was one of three seniors on the team , but had the longest starting tenure of the three. Her leadership, according to Craig Long, was best illustrated with new setter, Sawyer Hughes, an eighth grader replacing former Dothan Eagle Player of the Year winner and longtime setter Makenna Long.
Long is the third straight Rebel player to win the Dothan Eagle Player of the Year honor, following Breana Henning and her cousin Makenna Long. “We had a balanced attack,” Graham said. “A lot of teams depend on one or two players, but if you look at our numbers all across the board, it is spread out . Our middle hitters were an integral part of our offense where with most teams you have to have perfect passes in order to get the middles lined up right .
