Moriah Gray, Goshen High School senior, has signed a letter-of-intent to continue her education and athletic career at the University of the Cumberlands (formerly Cumberland College), Williamsburg, Ky.

The daughter of Pat and Mary Gray plans to major in pre-medicine.

The Goshen sports standout was a four-year letter earner in volleyball and also achieved a varsity letter in basketball. She was a Southern Buckeye Conference American Division all-star in volleyball and the Warriors’ team most valuable player.

In addition to sports, she was very active in other school activities. She has been a volunteer for CASA, the Random Acts of Kindness organization, a senior mentor, Ohio Reads organization, and JOG (Jobs for Ohio Graduates).

The Red and Gray’s star is the career volleyball leader in blocks, aces, and kills.

Naturally, the highlights of her prep athletic career would focus on volleyball.

“We finally beat Western Brown in volleyball this year. . . Last year we gave Williamsburg its only SBC loss,” she said.

The grateful athlete thanked several individuals for their support.

“My mom and dad and coaches (Lisa) Smith and (Hillary) Gatio have inspired me and made me who I am.”

“We’re really happy that she’s going to play volleyball…We’ve met her coach and we like her,” said Moriah’s parents.

“She’s talented and her talent raised us to the next level,” said coach Smith. “She’s very determined and dedicated and goal-oriented.”

Kara Clemenz, the head volleyball coach at the University of the Cumberlands, said, “Moriah Gray is an outstanding young lady. She came to the University of the Cumberlands for a visit and during her visit I was able to watch Moriah play with the team and know right away that she would be a great addition to the UC volleyball team. I known the superior level of volleyball played in the (Clermont County) area.

“It is evident that she has had some excellent coaching as she is a solid athlete with solid fundamentals. I am excited to see how see will help us out as a middle hitter. I believe the University of the Cumberlands volleyball program is a great fit for Moriah.

“I am thrilled to have Moriah Gray as the newest member of the University of the Cumberlands volleyball team.”
