MORAN Marmaton Valley High School senior Patricia Outlan has been selected to play volleyball next summer in the Dominican Republic.
Outlan was chosen as part of the Americas Team organization, which selects players based on their integrity, character and overall athletic ability, as well their reputation as school ambassadors and student athletes.
Outlans squad will be coached by Neosho County Community College head volleyball coach Asya Herron.
Several have stepped forward to assist Outlan with her fundraising.
The Moran American Legion and American Legion Auxiliary have both donated $500, while Masonic Lodges in Moran and Savonburg contributed a combined $1,300, giving her a total of $2,300.
The school hosted a bake sale last week, and more fundraisers are promised through the winter.
Outlan estimates she needs about $5,000 to cover her expenses.
