Hazel Green volleyball player Eevy Bellar has been voted the October 2023 ITG Next Alabama Female Athlete of the Month. Bellar received 38.91% of possible votes over three additional finalists: Lawrence County’s Ava Boyll, Sand Rock’s Katelyn St. Clair, and Faith Academy’s Parker Goff, each of whom also play volleyball.
Bellar, a junior, plays for Hazel Green, but she did not begin the year with the Trojans. In fact, a majority of her 2023 volleyball season came with Class 4A’s New Hope, where she posted a strong September before transferring to the 6A school.
Included in Bellar’s month with the Indians was more than 200 kills, which ranked her among the state’s leaders in that category. She enjoyed numerous matches with 20+ kills, and even a few of 30+, against competition that included Kate Duncan Smith DAR, Madison County, Deshler, and more. Bellar also surpassed the 1,000-dig mark for her high school career while at New Hope.
Since joining Hazel Green on September 30, Bellar has continued to impress, recording 42 kills in eight matches, including 12 in three matches to close out the month. For the season overall, Bellar has a combined 437 kills at New Hope and Hazel Green, which has come in 96 total sets played. She also has a combined 450 returns, 231 digs, 60 blocks, 55 aces, and 17 assists for the season.
Congratulations to Eevy Bellar, the ITG Next Alabama October 2023 Female Athlete of the Month, on a special September and an outstanding 2023 volleyball season at New Hope and Hazel Green.
