Furlong stepped up for former Kentucky high school state title contender Sacred Heart Academy in 2019, registering 143 kills and 44 blocks during her junior campaign.

Ready, a 6-1 sophomore who is currently competing for KIVA 17 Red, is expected to make an impact for state powerhouse Assumption during the 2020 high school season.

Naveah Scott: A 5-9 junior middle blocker from Ballard High School, Scott helped to lead her team throughout the 2019 prep season and is now taking the floor for Union 17-1.

Eventual state champion Assumption eliminated Ballard from the 2019 high school postseason, pulling away to win 3-0 in the opening round of the 7th Region Tournament in late-October.
Jaymison Summers: A 5-11 junior middle hitter from Mercy Academy, Summers helped to lead her high school team to a start runner-up finish in 2019.
