Tally Evans ’25
Serving On and Off the Court
“At PVI, I was given the opportunity to grow spiritually through daily Mass and being able to get confirmed my junior year,” shares Tally.
“Getting confirmed was something I had wanted for a long time. Father Schultz and Kieran (Koch) were able to meet me where I was. They saw me and were so supportive.”
After her own positive experience on the Bethany Retreat, Tally served on the PVI Retreat Team as a senior leader. “With my involvement in Campus Ministry, I was able to meet some of my closest friends.”
Tally played volleyball all four years, earning a Varsity spot as a junior and serving as captain and starting Libero her senior year. Her accolades include First Team All-Conference, Second Team All-State, Honorable Mention All-Met, and PVI’s Menke Award. She was also a football manager all four years. “I was so grateful to be part of the team’s WCAC championship this year.”
Tally’s father, Dan Evans ’99, is a PVI football coach and Hall of Famer. “Having his name written on the wall and being able to walk by and hit his name before every single game, and being able to wear his football jersey number that he wore during his time at PVI, #15, for my senior season was such a big thing.”
Her favorite PVI memory was making Varsity Volleyball her junior year, an occasion that was even more special because she was able to run to the football field to tell her dad. “Then, in the middle of football practice, Coach G announces ‘applause are in order’ and told everyone I had made Varsity; all the players started cheering for me, and it was one of those core memories.”
Tally will attend James Madison University to study Sports Management. “I hope to get involved with managing a sport there and aim to work in the professional sports field one day.”
