College Park Sr. Setter Caroline Prihoda
SETTING THE TONE: Prihoda, College Park Aim to Silence Doubters in 2025
Now, entering her final year with the Cavaliers and committed to play for the University of Kentucky, Prihoda is focused on demonstrating that last season wasn’t a fluke.
“Because we’re in such a competitive district to begin with, I feel that the team is going to enter each match knowing that something is at stake,” Prihoda said. “After finishing third at State last year, we need to know that each point is going to be a battle and nothing will be given to us moving forward.”

That battle-tested mentality comes from experience. In 2024, Prihoda earned Co-Setter of the Year honors in District 13-6A and was named a GHCVA First-Team selection in Class6A.
Her consistency and court awareness were vital to College Park’s playoff push, which ended in a State Semifinal loss to eventual 6A-Division II champion Byron Nelson. Still, last year’s run wasn’t a one-player show.
Defensive anchor Morgan Madison—the district’s Defensive MVP and an All-Tournament pick at State—was widely regarded as the team’s backbone. With Madison now at Baylor University, Prihoda and her fellow veterans know it’s up to them to sustain the program’s momentum.

“The torch isn’t just going to be passed to me,” said Prihoda. “We have four seniors this year who are returning varsity players, and most of us have played together since we were in about second grade. It honestly comes down to all of us.”
That shared history, she believes, will be key—especially in a season where external uncertainties may start to surface.
“It’s going to be our responsibility to ensure that the chemistry remains strong, since we might face doubts, now that we have to compensate for Morgan’s absence,” she said. “As long as we can get that confidence back again, I’m sure we can make a similar run.”

Confidence, for Prihoda, has never been an issue. In February, she announced her commitment to Kentucky, where she’ll soon join former Cinco Ranch star Kassie O’Brien and a respected SEC program. Her decision, she acknowledged, was about more than volleyball.
“When I went on my official visit, their coaching staff was easily the best I had come to know,” Prihoda explained. “Coach [Craig] Skinner emphasized that Kentucky doesn’t just recruit exceptional players—they intend to bring on exceptional individuals.
“That led me to meeting the team, and I just fell in love with them—the type of people they are, how they carry themselves, and the fact that they lead by example. The unity of it all really stood out to me.”
As her closing year begins, Prihoda isn’t just setting the ball—she’s setting the tone.
With a deep understanding of the game, a loyal core of teammates, and a drive to build on last year’s tremendous success, she enters her senior season not as a follower of history—but as a leader shaping it.
