POWELL'S PATTERSON SIGNS WITH CASPER: Middle hitter Katie Patterson of Powell has signed to play volleyball at Casper College.

The 6-foot senior was a Class 3A all-state selection as a senior and was a varsity letterwinner for four years.

"I think she is very talented," Casper College coach Angel Sharman said in a school release. "She'll block well for us. I think she's a great blocker and will develop into a great offensive threat."

Casper is coming off a Region IX North championship and a trip to the NJCAA national tournament in 2007.
