Thornton Signs With IHCC

Ottumwa -- Jonte Thornton, a three-year starter on the Washington HS volleyball team, has signed a letter of intent to attend Indian Hills and play for the Warriors.

Thornton, playing for coach Jeff Spenner, was named all-conference for the past three seasons. She compiled some impressive numbers with 645 kills, 238 blocks and 99 service aces for the Demons.

Thornton is expected to be an outside hitter for the Warriors. She is described by IHCC coach Terry Carlson as "a good athlete who is big and strong." Carlson said, "We are looking for kids who can hit the ball hard and Jonte fills that bill."
