Continue ReadingAs with all of our jobs here at Prep Dig, we are not the absolute authority for all things volleyball. These lists are subjective and can (and will) be changed over time. That being said, there are instances where players completely overachieve, and they need a little more attention now that the season is over. Here are four kids that were all-district in their specific region that we didn’t have on our radar back in August.
Aesha Vogt, ’24, 5-8 OH, Faith Christian
With an AAU championship under her belt from two seasons ago, Aesha is a primary-passing, six rotation hitter that can play multiple positions, and was asked to do just that for the Eagles this past fall. She finished #1 in kills, #2 in digs and #2 in aces for her 21-8 squad that made it to the sectional final this season.
Mariah Claywell, ’22, 5-9 OH, Union City
Tops in kills (~5 per set) and digs (~3 per set) for the Indians, Mariah was the best player in a solid program that saw an early exit in this year’s sectional. She’s a stud point guard for basketball, and has already had multiple double-doubles this winter season to go along with the 10+ double-doubles she earned in volleyball. For a kid to have nearly 1000 kills and over 600 digs in her career, she needs more attention.
Jaci Stone, ’22, 5-3 DS/L, Shakamak
The Lakers didn’t exactly have the greatest of seasons, but you can’t deny talent when you have it. Jaci surpassed 1000 career digs in early October, and has nearly 100 aces to go along with that milestone. Hopefully, Miss Stone showed the predominantly younger squad this fall what it’s like to lead by example moving forward.
Emmaline Leatherman, ’23, 5-10 MB/OH, Shawe Memorial
After knocking off Rock Creek in the sectional semifinal, the Hilltoppers lost an epic battle in the sectional final. That being said, Emmaline was not the reason they had a setback, as she finished with 22 kills and 34 digs in the heartbreaker. Looking at over four kills per set while hitting north of .300 in her first varsity season isn’t bad at all, as they have almost everyone back next fall.
