Below are 6 Northern Kentucky Pin Attackers in the hunt!
Sierra Smith (Ryle High School): As the Raiders graduate Lily Trump in the 2020 class, they will need a strong outside to perform alongside reigning 9th Region Player of the year Lucy Trump Lucy Trump OH Ryle | 2022 State #38 Nation KY . Smith, a rostered member of the 2019 season, could be a great addition to the starting line-up next season. Smith has a powerful quick swing that she can control for just about any shot. She is currently competing for NKYVC 16 Typhoon.
Bailey Beiting (Campbell County): Beiting played last season for the Camels as a middle blocker on their Junior Varsity team and on the right-side for Varsity. As Campbell County graduates a senior outside, Beiting could possibly step in to the open roll. She is a naturally athletic player whose competitive spirit and varsity experience may earn her a starting position.
Alaina Hart (Simon Kenton): Hart is a versatile athlete who is able to execute at a high-level in multiple positions. In 2019, she was on the Varsity Roster and did compete in a few matches. Her ball-control, strong jump-float serve, and quick arm-swing make her a perfect candidate to take Simon Kenton’s offense to the next level. Hart currently competes for NKYVC 15 Tide.
Holland Morris Holland Morris 6'0" | MB Cooper | 2023 State KY (Cooper High School): While Cooper only graduates one senior from the 2019 season, there are opportunities to earn a starting role on both the right side and outside in 2020. At 6’0, Morris is an intimidating Outside/Middle attacker. Morris was on the Varsity Roster during the 2019 season, playing in a few matches. Her training as a Middle Blocker has made her an adaptable attacker that can swing anywhere along the net. She is athletic with a naturally powerful arm swing and a large block. Morris is currently competing for NKYVC 15 Tide.
Rylee Depue (Cooper High School): Similar to Morris, Depue is an Outside/Middle Blocker who was on the Varsity Roster during the 2019 season for the Jaguars. Depue saw playing time for the Jaguars in 23 sets during the season. As a powerful attacker with a 9’4 approach reach she is able to hit around and over the majority of opposing blocks. Depue is a strong candidate for a starting varsity role. Currently she is competing for NKYVC 15 Typhoon
Abigayle Porter (Notre Dame Academy): While Notre Dame houses a large senior class during the upcoming season, Porter has the strength and potential to make a varsity roster. She competed for the Junior Varsity Team in 2019 as a freshman and is a powerhouse outside. Porter is currently competing for Tri-State Elite 15 Blue.
