Frazee-Vergas High School senior Sophia Strand signed a letter of intent to play volleyball and softball at North Central University in Minneapolis last Tuesday night. She was joined for the occasion but several coaches and family members. In a Facebook post Strand wrote “I am so excited to announce my commitment to the North Central University volleyball team! This has been a goal of mine for so long despite many barriers, but I overcame with the help of so many and God. I am so blessed and so excited to see where this new adventure will take me.” Pictured above: Front row: Mike Dicarlis, Sophia Strand and Nicole Strand.
