Gianely Padilla is an extremely talented player on Carrollwood’s Varsity volleyball team. In the past two years on varsity, Gia has played in 159 sets and scored 586 kills, 61 blocks, and 60 aces. She also has impressive passing stats for an outside hitter with a career total of 445 digs and 723 serves received. Gia is not only a powerful hitter from either pin but also a dynamic back row defender. She is capable of moving seamlessly from a perfect dig to the setter, then to a powerful outside attack. Gianely would be a perfect left-side player for a number of division II programs.
Kate Youmans – 6’0” – OH, OPP – #10 – St. Petersburg High School
Kate Youmans is an excellent pin hitter on St. Pete’s Varsity team. In her four years playing on the varsity team, Kate has played in 266 sets with an impressive 652 kills, 113 blocks, 269 digs, and 59 aces. She has an impressive outside attack but can swing from anywhere on the net with success. In addition to her height, Kate can also jump high on the net for both blocking and attacking which makes her a solid opponent across the net. She is also an asset on defense and can cover her with speed and agility. Kate is definitely a player to watch during this spring club season and would be a great pin hitter on a college team.
Nadia Lewis – 5’10” – MB – #13 – Osceola High School
Nadia Lewis is an impressive middle blocker on Osceola’s varsity team. Although she may not have as much experience at the net as other middle blockers, Nadia is the type of player that is fun to watch. She is a high energy player that puts up huge blocks and is louder than most players on the court. Her vertical is outstanding and she can get nearly a whole head over her opponents when attacking or blocking. In her senior season, she played in 58 sets with a total of 49 kills and 22 blocks.
