Clear Lake High School middle hitter Tricia White Has signed a

national letter of intent, announced by head coach Charlie Brande.

White, a 5-11 three-year varsity starter, led Clear Lake High

School to three league playoff appearances and reached the Northern

California semifinals last year.

Along the way, she garnered All-North Central League First Team

honors twice and captured the all-county title twice. As a senior,

White was MVP of the Arcata Upper Lake Tournament and added a league

MVP title to her resume. This season, she helped the Cardinals reach

the North Coast Section Division IV semifinals.

Over the past two years, White averaged 4.5 kills, 3.5 blocks,

four digs and three aces per game.

“She’s enthusiastic and charismatic which will also add to the

success-oriented mix,” said Brande.
