Preparing for her freshman college season, Alaina DeBock-Hubbard isn’t just happy playing volleyball, the Delhi native wants to win.
A soon-to-be Delhi District Secondary School graduate, DeBock-Hubbard has committed to join the defending provincial champion and national runner-up Humber Hawks this fall.
A 6-foot-2 middle/right wide for the Raiders in recent years, DeBock-Hubbard has an offer from another program that likely would've resulted in guaranteed playing time next season, but elected to join the Hawks instead.
"I really, really did not think I was going to play (in college)," DeBock-Hubbard admitted. "I didn't think that I wasn't good enough because I didn't have the kind of experience that these teams were looking for."
