A New Chapter in Holly Pond
Caroline McBride, a former basketball and volleyball player at St. Bernard, is transitioning to Holly Pond for her senior year. The move marks the next step in an athletic journey that has already seen her lift an area championship trophy and assume leadership roles on the court and the sidelines.
During her sophomore season, McBride helped her team capture the area title alongside her closest teammate Ella Davis, a partnership that highlighted her ability to rally peers. She also served as a mentor to younger players, guiding them through the pressures of competition while under the guidance of coach Luke Yarbrough, who later relocated to Idaho.
Faith as the Foundation
Central to McBride’s approach is a deep sense of faith. She frequently cites Galatians 6:9 and Colossians 3:23 as guiding principles, believing that disciplined effort and spiritual growth go hand in hand. This perspective fuels her desire to improve not only as an athlete but also as a person of character.
Her ultimate target is a Final Four appearance in both sports, a goal she pursues with a mindset rooted in teamwork, perseverance, and trust in a higher plan. As she steps onto the Holly Pond campus, McBride carries with her the lessons of past victories, the support of new mentors, and a resolve that promises an exciting senior season.
