These Sophomores are highly competitive players on their respective teams and would be excellent recruits for a Division II or III college. Already, they are leading their team and making an impact, and they have two more years of training ahead of them.   [player_tooltip player_id="99027" first="Lamaya" last="Fuller"] - 5’8” - L - Class of 2023 - Westminster Christian High School [player_tooltip player_id="99027" first="Lamaya" last="Fuller"] is a dynamic player on Westminster’s Varsity Volleyball team and has played in 143 sets in the last two years. Her career stats include 148 kills, 24 total blocks, 277 digs, and 38 aces. Westminster ranked 7th overall in Florida this year and placed 2nd in the 3A division FHSAA State Tournament. Lamaya is a big factor in her team’s victories this season and can be credited with many digs and kills for her team. She is a well-rounded player that is talented in playing both offensive and defensive positions.   Lena Bailey - 5’9” - MB - Class of 2023 - Tampa Catholic High School Lena Bailey is a competitive middle blocker on Tampa Catholic’s Varsity Volleyball team. Although she is only a Sophomore, Lena has demonstrated in her two years on the varsity team that she is a highly talented player. Her career stats include a .304 hitting percentage and nearly 30 total blocks in the 52 sets played. Despite being shorter than most middles, she is capable of jumping higher than most players and getting her hands on every ball over the net. She is an integral part of her team’s defense in that her hands are slowing down nearly every attack; even if she is not completely shutting down every hit with her block, she is allowing her team a better chance of recovering a hard attack. Her jump height also allows Lena to hit straight down, just short of the opposite team’s defense. Lena doesn’t lead her team in most kills, but in watching her play, it is clear that she leads her team through her effort and passion on the court.   Jordan Bunce - 5’8” - OH, OPP - Class of 2023 - St. Petersburg High School Jordan Bunce is one of the top-scoring hitters on St. Pete’s Varsity Volleyball team. In the last two years, Jordan has played in 139 sets on the varsity team and has scored a total of 247 kills, 23 blocks, and 46 aces. Being a young player, Jordan exceeds expectations with her smart playing at the net and her disciplined mechanics in her attacks. She has big, powerful swings from the outside position, and is very successful in her cross-court attacks. St. Pete ranked 35th in Florida this season, and it is safe to say that Jordan was part of the reason for their success this year.
