Post Falls' Meehan to play volleyball at Walla Walla

POST FALLS - Senior Danielle Meehan, who helped Post Falls High qualify for the state volleyball tournament last fall for the first time since 1991, has signed a letter of intent with Walla Walla Community College, the school announced.

Meehan, an outside hitter, was an all-5A Inland Empire League selection in 2009, when the Trojans won their first league title in school history.

The 5-foot-8 Meehan also considered North Idaho College, Eastern Washington, Community Colleges of Spokane and the University of Idaho.

"Danielle is a great late sign for our program," Walla Walla coach Tim Toon said. "She is a proven winner on the court and in the classroom. Danielle is a complete player. Her jump serve, ball control and hard hitting will lend itself to immediate contributions. I expect her to become one of the elite players in the NWAACC."
