Breyden Burley Centennial High School Senior

SPORTS: volleyball

GPA: 2.7

ACCOMPLISHMENTS:

* Helped lead the Bulldogs to a playoff berth in prep volleyball this season and a top spot in the Northwest Division.

* Tallied 12 kills in a dramatic late-season sweep against Cimarron-Memorial on May 2.

* Played with the acclaimed Las Vegas Molten volleyball team for the past two years, placing fifth in a national tournament last summer.

THIS SEASON: "We knew we would be pretty good because we have some talent, we just had to work through some mental problems. But I really have to credit our coach for spending so much time with us and away from his family to help improve the team. We wouldn't have been able to do it without him."

COACH'S COMMENTS: "He's one of the players we've counted on every match. We count on him for his skills but also for the leadership he brings to the team. I think when people watch our team play, they remember No. 10 for his hitting, but he's one of our top servers, defenders and passers as well. For us, he really brings the complete package." -- Scott Nelson, Centennial High School boys volleyball coach.

FUTURE PLANS: "Hopefully I'm going to go to college for a year and try to play Division I volleyball before I go on a mission for my church."

PARENTS: Scott and LaDawn Burley.
