Chillicothe's Evelyn Hamman is ready to cap record-breaking career

Evelyn Hamman, the standout volleyball player at Chillicothe High School, is on the verge of concluding her record-breaking junior season. Her connection with her mother, Leslie Hamman, the team's coach, reached new heights during a tough loss to Sheridan. Evelyn's famous nod to her mom signaled that the Cavaliers would not win that day, but it also revealed their mutual understanding of the outcome.

That night, Evelyn collected a school-record 436 kills, along with 39 aces, 59 blocks, and 198 digs in 23 matches. She broke several school and program records, including career kills (1,039) and career blocks (138). Evelyn is just six aces away from surpassing the program's career record of 166. Her stellar performance earned her first-team all-district and honorable mention All-Ohio honors.

The Cavaliers finished the season with a 14-9 record and a share of the FAC championship. Evelyn, who is committed to play at Gannon University next fall to become a Physician Assistant, aims to enjoy her final season with her teammates while soaking up every moment.
