“Whatever I will do, I will try my hardest,” Bailey said. “Just trying to help my teammates in general. It really makes me happy. Helping them in any way is all I want to do.”

Bailey, who was named first team all-state earlier this week, had a team-high 15 kills in Bowling Green’s 3-0 win over Heritage Christian. The Lady Purples will face Louisville Mercy in the quarterfinals at 10 a.m. CST Friday.
