Windermere High boys volleyball's Hayden Spears signs with Ohio State

Windermere High boys volleyball player Hayden Spears has officially signed his National Letter of Intent to continue his playing career at Ohio State. 

The 6-foot-7 middle blocker has been extremely efficient for the Wolverines (5-3) this season; recording 86 kills in just 24 sets, with 15 total blocks and eight aces. Spears has also had a lot of success in the club volleyball scene as well, being named to the AVCA All-American watch list and has been selected three times to participate in USA volleyball's national team development program. 

Spears and Windermere still have a slew of games left over the next month and a half before the playoffs, including matchups against three West Orange and Southwest Orange County. Windermere will travel to Olympia High (1-2) on April 9, host Lake Buena Vista High (6-6) on April 16 and travel to Horizon High (7-2) on April 18.
