Natalee Gulledge officially extended her volleyball career after she signed her National Letter of Intent to play for the Snead State Parsons on Friday, Jan. 5, during a ceremony at Central Christian School.

The lone senior from the Saints’ 28-3 squad that won the school’s fourth Panhandle Christian Conference championship, Gulledge played all but one of her team’s 81 sets and finished tied for second-most with 80 sets played according to MaxPreps stats.

The 5-foot-6 libero led her team in digs (210) and service receptions (362) to go along with 21 aces and 55 service points, 38 assists and 13 kills to help secure Central Christian’s first conference title since 2012.

Gulledge will now shift her focus to helping the Snead State Parsons back to the Alabama Community College Conference tournament where they fell in the second round last season. Snead State finished 22-18 overall with a 7-5 mark in ACCC play where a pair of Lady Parsons were recognized with all-conference distinction.

As a team, Snead State led the ACCC in service aces (2.34) and digs (17.45) per set. The Parsons also registered top-10 finishes in kills per set (11.23 for 4th), assists per set (9.58 for 5th) and hitting percentage (.162 for 8th).
