Haverford High’s Quinby Dahl is Main Line Boys Athlete of the Week

For the past two years, the sophomore outside hitter has been the top performer on the Fords, who are the 10th seed in the PIAA District 1 Class AAA playoffs. Dahl has accumulated nearly 300 kills for this season, including 20 or more kills in four of his last five matches (as of May 13). As a freshman, he led the Fords in kills and digs and received first team All-Independent Volleyball League honors. His parents, Eric and Melanie, coached women’s volleyball at Drexel University. Haverford High boys’ volleyball head coach Sam Moyerman said, “Quinby possesses a maturity that transcends his years. It would be almost impossible for a lot of players to come in as a freshman and immediately be the best player on a team but he has handled it for two years better than anyone could have imagined. He’s the rock of the team and leads everyone by setting a great example as soon as he enters the gym.”
