PINEHURST, North Carolina - According to Sandhills Community College volleyball coach Alicia Hill, Paige Horne loves to play the game.
Before a small gathering at the John Dempsey Center Wednesday afternoon, the Flyer setter’s opportunity to keep playing and continue her education at Fayetteville State was celebrated.
The attendees included Horne’s mother, Myra White; Barbara Foxx, her coach at Pinecrest High School; and SCC athletics director Aaron Denton and friends.

Horne was an all-region selection in 2010 as a freshman when the Flyers made it to the NJCAA Division III national tournament in Rochester, Minn., in the program’s second year. She was the team MVP last fall when they lost in the regional championship match. The Flyers were a combined 39-17 during her two seasons.
“We’re going to miss a huge leader on and off the court,” Hill says. “They are big shoes to fill because she was our captain and she’s been our setter the last two years.”
Horne lives in Aberdeen with her mother and stepfather, Chuck Phillips.
