    BLYTHEWOOD – The summer of 2018 is shaping up well for both former and current members of the Blythewood Bengal family. First, former Bengal Jordyn Adams was picked up in the first round of the MLB draft, and then volleyball standout Colleen Finney received an invitation to the U.S. Girls’ Youth National Training Team Roster.

    If Finney, a rising junior and Clemson commit, delivers a strong outing, she could earn one of 12 available spots on the U.S. Girls’ Youth National Team, where she could potentially compete in the 2018 Under 18 NORCECA Continental Championship.

    The Bengals went 28-9-3 last season, with a solid 10-2 record in region play, and Finney contributed 59 kills and 33 triple blocks. She heads to the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colorado to train from July 20 to Aug. 3.
