Peyton King was a centerpiece of the Christiansburg High School volleyball team for the past three years and will continue her collegiate career at Lynchburg College.

Christiansburg High School’s Peyton King will continue her volleyball career at Lynchburg College. She said that she believes the school is a perfect fit for her.


“When I was there on my official visit, I got to play in an open gym with the girls and they seemed so tight-knit and I knew it was like a big family. On my tour, I sat in on a class, and there were only 15 people in the class, so I felt like I will be able to do very well with my academics with a smaller class setting. I loved the campus, the coach and, most of all, the girls,” she said.

King averaged double figure assists in almost every game in 2016 including three with 30-plus assists. She was a four-year starter on varsity and was a captain her senior year being named to the all-conference and team most valuable player.

Lynchburg is a Division III member of the Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) and only loses one player from a team that finished 19-10 this past season. Elizabeth Ellinger is in her 11th season at the school as the head coach.

The team lost in the ODAC tournament semi-finals this past year to W&L.

King learned how to be a leader playing at CHS. “I think leadership is a very important quality to have. I also learned how to be positive no matter how the season was going so I feel like that will be helpful because teams definitely have their ups and downs,” she said.

For now, she is undecided about her major in college. King is also a member of the Christiansburg High School National Arts Honor Society.
