As soon as Micah Leavell started learning about Hampton University, she wanted to know more.
A coach from the Division I school in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference saw Leavell playing with Munciana at a volleyball tournament in Kansas City last month, so the Central senior started researching the school. It’s an HBCU (historically black colleges and universities) institution with alumni like Booker T. Washington. Rosa Parks worked as a hostess on campus.
A visit to Virginia this past weekend to see the school only made her want to attend even more as she committed Saturday night to playing volleyball for the Pirates.
