Jamie SewardJamieSeward5'10" | MBSweet Home | 2022StateOR, 5’10", MB/RS, Sweet Home High School, North Pacific Juniors
Seward had another solid season for the Sweet Home High School Huskies as their starting middle blocker. She was an impact player and a go-to attacker for the Huskies. She helped them finish first in the Oregon West Conference and second in the 4A State tournament, falling to Valley Catholic. She received Oregon West Honorable Mention. During club season she saw playing time as a right-side attacker. Given that she is a leftie, it is a natural fit. This past summer she took her skills to the sand, playing for Oregon Sand Volleyball Club with partner 2023 Bella Gamache. Last club season she played for North Pacific Juniors 16-1 National team and she will be returning to NPJ for this upcoming season.
