Pampa setter Hallie Sieck has been a mainstay on the Lady Harvesters volleyball team, beginning her impressive fourth year on varsity.
As a junior last season, Sieck helped lead the Harvesters to an 27-13 record, and a trip to the Class 4A regional quarterfinal.
Sieck ended her year earning District 4-4A Co-Setter of the Year honors, racking up 1,035 assists, 263 digs, 76 aces and 56 kills.
Sieck is an extremely busy student-athlete, playing basketball, running track and cheerleading for Pampa.
Sieck took time out of her schedule to talk with Press Pass Sports about her senior season and her career.
So playing three sports, and cheerleading. You must be busy?

What’s the expectation for this Pampa team?
“We are in a very competitive district now. The plan is to play together, give it our best every time we go out on the floor, and try to win district.”
Do you have any hobbies?
