EDMOND —
All-Edmond volleyball 2012
Player of the Year
McKenna Qualls
Memorial senior outside hitter
“No one works harder than McKenna Qualls,” Memorial coach Natalie Murray said.
That hard work showed as the three-year starter, who started at outside hitter on the Bulldogs’ 2010 state championship squad, put in 376 kills, 362 digs and 54 aces in 2012. Murray also called Qualls her best serve-receive passer.
Qualls’ experience and leadership helped Memorial to a 31-5 record and a berth in the state championship game.
“We have a lot of hard workers at Memorial, but she set a precedent that every underclassman can look to and strive to be like for years to come. It’s not just what she did on the court, but how she was an inspiration for our girls that are coming up,” Murray said.
Qualls has committed to play for Oral Roberts University in Tulsa next year.

Workman's blasts cranks UCO's engine; Bronchos cruise to 5-2 win
Nicole Workman’s solo home run gave Central Oklahoma a lead it would never relinquish and the No. 19-ranked Bronchos went on to topple Winona State 5-2 in the first game of the NCAA Division II Central Super Regional Friday night at the Edmond North High School Softball Complex.
Workman blasted her 14th homer of the season to lead off the second inning, with UCO adding three runs in the third and one more in the fifth to take a commanding 5-0 lead before the Warriors created some anxious moments in their final at bat.
WSU scored two runs and had runners on second and third on with just one out in the top of the seventh, but Kalynn Shrock got the final two batters to close out her fourth straight complete-game outing of the postseason and put the Bronchos in control of the best-of-three series. -
