CLARION, Pa. – Clarion senior outside hitter Korrin Burns was named the Pennsylvania Volleyball Coaches Association Class 1A Most Valuable Player, and an All-District 9 Class 1A team was announced.
Burns has led the Lady Cats into the PIAA semifinals for the third consecutive year. Clarion will meet Bishop Canevin in the semifinals at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 16, at Slippery Rock High School.

The St. Francis (Pa.) recruit has accumulated 1,590 career kills, 698 career digs, and 207 career aces while helping Clarion to four straight District 9 Class 1A titles and the 2020 PIAA championship.
