Continue ReadingThe last weeks have been of strong competition across the entire state of Washington following the start of the Evergreen State’s high school volleyball season. Teams and players from every corner of the region have been showing a solid game in their pursuit of glory.
Until the end of the week, we’ll highlight some of the young prospects who have been standing out for their play in each of the six classes that are currently active in the state of Washington.
Today we’ll focus on the Class 3A:
Riley Clark – Middle Blocker – HS: Lakes – 2022
Riley Clark has been doing absolutely everything someone could expect from an elite middle blocker and more. The six-foot prospect is helping Lakes with her strong game at the net and impacting both sides of the game for the Lances. On offense, Clark is the most prolific piece of the team, having already registered 117 kills, to an average of 3.3 per set and a 64.3% kill rate. Her blocking production is even more impressive, though, as she has stuffed opponents 93 times in just 36 sets, averaging 2.6 stops per set. Her backcourt game leaves nothing to be desired either as Clark has registered 142 digs (nearly four per set).
Emily Mekelburg Emily Mekelburg 6'0" | OH Arlington | 2022 WA – Outside Hitter – HS: Arlington – Club: Seattle Jrs. – 2022
A well-known scoring machine in the state of Washington, Emily Mekelburg Emily Mekelburg 6'0" | OH Arlington | 2022 WA is doing what she does best in her final season of high school volleyball. The 6’1” Arlington outside hitter is once again producing in bunches as she has tallied 158 kills in just 33 sets, averaging 4.8 per set. Her 55.1% kill rate is probably even more impressive considering the position she plays. Mekelburg has also delivered 50 digs and 27 aces for the Lady Eagles.
Margaret Roberts – Setter – HS: Silas – 2022
Margaret Roberts has been extremely productive in her final year of high school volleyball. A 5’3” setter, the Silas prospect doesn’t make much of an impact at the net, but she’s been outstanding in virtually everything else. Roberts is an excellent ball handler, which is reflected on her 325 assists and her average of nine per set. Defense is another of her strengths as the setter has produced 84 digs, 2.4 per set. She’s also a capable server, having registered 30 aces, nearly one in each set she played.
