Whitewater High School Senior Emme Bullis signed a National Letter of Intent to play volleyball at Division 1 Cal Poly State University, the team with the longest home-winning streak in Division I, at 32 games. Bullis has played many positions on the volleyball floor but was recruited by Cal Poly as a setter. She is hopeful that she’ll get to play her final season as a Whippet as the Rock Valley Conference postponed their fall sports season until spring.
