Today the OSN Spotlight, presented by Blackbeard Marine, shines on Grace Shehadeh!
• Southeastern volleyball
• Hometown: Plano, Texas
• Marketing major expected to graduate May 2021
• Favorite teams, and their players: Green Bay Packers: Aaron Rodgers; Team USA (Volleyball): Matthew Anderson; Dallas Mavs: Dirk Nowitzki
• Favorite sports moment – personal: “My favorite personal moment from my last year of club volleyball was being named PrepVolleyball’s “Player that Shined” at the USAV Girls Junior Olympics.
In college, beating East Central in my very first conference and home game as a freshman was one of the most exciting moments for me.”
• Favorite sports moment – overall: “My favorite sports moment from my freshman year was sweeping NWOSU at home to secure a spot in the GAC tournament.”
• What do you like most about SE? “I love the family-like community at Southeastern. I instantly felt at home the moment I stepped on campus. All the student athletes are extremely close on and off the court/field, support each other, and push each other to represent SOSU in the best way possible.”
• Who do you most look up to? “My father. He’s been a consistent coach throughout my life. Ever since I was a child, he pushed me to be the best I can be in the classroom, on the court, in church, and as an independent adult.”
• Goals: “By the end of my senior season at Southeastern, I would like to be nominated for an ALL-GAC Selection Team.
After graduating with a Business Degree, I would love to acquire a job back home in the Dallas area.
And to beat my own personal digs/aces records each year.”
