Let’s look at our Defensive Specialist. DS and Libero’s tend to share the same positions, however, I am going to focus strictly on our top Illinois defensive specialist.
Adalyn Gower- Massac County High School
Gower is without a doubt a beast on the court and she does not fail to make that known. The sophomore is a very quick and determined defensive player when it comes to her talents meeting the face of the ball. Gower is the leading athlete with the most digs this season and lets me honest, she is killing it on the court. Gower leads with 524 digs this season and is a high averaged DS on the floor. She’s very attentive on the court, moves swiftly and defends her territory. Gower has a moving work ethic on the court and reflects the definition of a tough and gritty DS.
Libby Conkle- Massac County High School
Conkle is another rising talent that marks her territory on the court. Pushing her season with 394 digs this season, the sophomore continues to pocket these defensive achievements in her back pocket. Conkle is off to a great start to her high school career and she is not looking to stop anytime soon. Conkle is strong and attentive when it comes to the ball being in play and making sure she steps up her game as each play goes on. Conkle is on her way to the top and she continues to proves that point.
Keely Keane- Decatur Lutheran High School
The 5’5″ junior is a very fast-paced and contributing athlete when it comes to her performance on the court. Keane currently is pushing 358 digs this season and is taking on stats in other areas, expanding her playing experience and reliability. Keane continues to outshine herself and prove to her teammates and her opponents that she is one to watch out for when it comes to the defensive plays she is faced with out on the court. Keane has a strong work ethic and that is something important to look for in our athletes.
Myla Bigelow- Edinburg High School
Bigelow is another athlete that I can place on the higher pedal stole when it come to achievements and accomplishments. The senior has been playing a very progressive game this season, and she continues to make a statement when she steps out onto the court. Bigelow currently sits at 336 digs this season and 23 aces. Bigelow is in her final season and she is making sure that she goes out with a bang.
