Emmanuel Christian volleyball players get together for an overnight outing to create memories while occasionally missing out on some sleep in the process.
That sleepiness has not been enough to keep down the play of Macey Hudson.
Hudson is a junior volleyball player at Emmanuel Christian. In a recent match against Northeastern on Aug. 22, she had 27 kills and 25 digs in a four-set victory for the Lions.
For her efforts, Hudson was named the Dayton Daily News Athlete of the Week, presented by Orthopaedic Institute of Dayton, for Aug. 17-23, earning the honor through reader voting at DaytonDailyNews.com.
"I have had people from our school get nominated and I thought it was really cool, and to have myself get nominated for it was just really an honor," Hudson said.

WATERLOO — The Ottumwa High School girls tennis team opened the season on Saturday on the same courts where many of the Bulldog players hope to end the season.
The Bulldogs battled their way through a long day of tennis at the Chuck Schupbach Memorial Invitational, finishing third as a team with 17 points. Six different players brought home medals in six different divisions, winning 10 matches at the Byrnes Park, the home of the Class 2A state singles and doubles tournament.
"All the girls played well. Many of them were playing their first varsity singles match and, for some, their first doubles matches," Ottumwa head girls tennis coach Leanna White said. "This is a new squad with some great potential for the season."
Ana Toloza posted the highest singles finish for the Bulldogs, going 2-1 to finish second among players in the No. 5 singles portion of the tournament. Toloza bounced back from a 10-3 loss to Clinton senior Kirstin Bengtson, winning 11-2 over Decorah freshman Niva Anderson and 9-4 over Columbus Catholic senior Kathryn Brandle to secure the silver medal.
Madalynn Sertterh and Abigail Ellison, both coming off playing in the Dan Staggs Tennis Tournament last week, brought home bronze medals in singles play on Saturday for Ottumwa. Sertterh, the inaugural women's champion of the Staggs Tournament, opened the season with a 10-3 win over Columbus senior Macey O'Brien in her debut as the top singles player for the Bulldogs while Ellison shook off a 10-3 loss to Decorah senior Isis Timm earning a 9-4 victory over Columbus sophomore Scarlett Reiter for her third varsity singles win after taking two victories last fall as a freshman.
