A Kettering Fairmont volleyball player is garnering local attention after she stepped up to the microphone after a pre-recorded version of the “Star Spangled Banner” failed to play prior to the Springboro-Kettering match last week.

Bob O’Brien posted the video of Mikayla Morris performing the national anthem prior to the game.

The video has been shared on social media over 1,700 times.
