In the Ohio Capital Central it is Oletangy Orange and Oletangy Liberty that are atop the standings as they both have yet to drop a league match. They are set to square off for the first time this season on Thursday. Prospects among this league’s statistical leaders are as follows:

– 2023 | Dublin Coffman
One of the most prolific scorers in all of Ohio, Durham is having a monster season thus far. She is averaging six kills per set for the Shamrocks while hitting at a .303 efficiency. She has eclipsed the 20 kills mark in a match six times already including 31 kills earlier this season against Pickerington Central. She had 28 kills in their most recent five-set loss to league foe Oletangy Liberty. She also collected a season high 19 digs in that match. She has great size at 6’3 and continues to make good strides in adding more range and power to her game.
Jenna Harold – 2022 | Upper Arlington
Harold is just 5’6 but don’t let that fool you regarding her ability to make things happen as an attacker. She has seen the most attempts and earned the most kills with 128 so far this season for the Golden Bears. Her average of 3.7 kills per set is a product of that volume and although undersized she is very crafty with her arm, even in challenging situations as she has the capacity to make things happen. She does a lot for this team as she also averages 7.3 digs per match while leading them in total service aces.
Defense
Makenzie Moll – 2022 | Oletangy Orange
The 5’4 senior is averaging over five digs per set and is about to eclipse her season totals for each of the past two seasons for total digs. She has good balance and quickness around the floor and can pursue the ball with efficiency as she prepares herself well to react well upon the read. In spite of her size she can cover good range of the court to create opportunities for her team to transition. She is a key factor for the Pioneers’ 9-1 start.

Olentangy Liberty | 2023

OH
– 2023 | Oletangy Liberty
Moulton had a solid club season and has transitioned that added experience well to the high school season in helping the Patriots to an undefeated start to the season. She has a total of 243 so far and as the primary distributor for this team that equates to over seven assists per set. Her improvement is noticeable given her increased role this season for this team. She is athletic with good quickness and has developed great touch and location off of her hands to get hitters involved well through the full range of their offense.
