Camryn Hughes– Kenwood Academy
Hughes is going to be a stellar athlete to watch this season, as she was a standout athlete on her previous 13s teams. Hughes stands at 6’1″ and her blocking ability is very substantial for her grade level. Hughes is going to be an athlete you want to keep eyes on, as her fundamental skills and foundation is only going to get better and her athletic skillset continues to develop.
Hillary Davis– Kenwood Academy
Davis is another athlete that is going to be one to watch on the court. Davis stands at 5’11” and is positioned as right side and opposite hitter. Davis is a athlete that is willing to learn and is a ver coachable athlete, which is important when it comes coaching and the ability for athletes to expand their skillsets. Davis is going to be an athlete to keep eyes on during this season.
Nia McGhee– Kenwood Academy
McGhee stands at 5’10” and is currently positioned as a setter. McGhee as plenty of time to perfect her setting skills and expanding her education when it comes to learning the rotations around the court when the sets get difficult. McGhee can use her height to her advantage as she is a bit taller than most of her setters, however, being able to sync her sets with her hitters is going to be the most important skill that she is going to need to develop.
Mariah Kuy Kendall– King High School
Kendall stands 5’8″ and currently plays in the outside hitter position. The most important thing that I am looking forward this season from Kendall is her ability to learn the rotation and being able to work well amongst her new team. I can say that new athletes coming into high school seasons have to learn how to work with new people and different skills.
Jada Jones– Mother McAuley
Jones stands at 4’8″ and currently is positioned as a middle hitter. Jones is a competitive athlete, however, during Jones’ high school career, it is a high possibility that she can change positions. Jones is going to a player to watch over the period of her time on the court as she needs to continue developing her fundamentals and basic foundations.
Ma’Kyra Allen– Providence St. Mel
Allen is another athlete that I think can be a very well rounded athlete with the right training and ability to learn, her skill set will not only get stronger, but it will set her up for success. Allen is a determined learner and is one athlete that can be coached effectively. It is without question, that Allen is going to emerge this season.
Saniya Peavy– Mother McAuley
Peavy stands at 5’6″ and currently plays as a Libero and Defensive Specialist. With the right foundation and training from her coaching staff, Peavy is only going to make herself stronger on the court and mentally, which are two important things when it comes to this game. It is imperative that Peavy doesn’t just work on perfecting her craft, but being able to incorporate that with her team and combining their talents together.
