Final Report: Top Outside Hitters

<p>The season has now come and gone for about a week now with us now at the beginning of December. I want to take this opportunity to do my Final Report which will entail the top outside hitters, setters, opposites, middle blockers, and defensive specialists/liberoes. Let’s take a look at the top outside hitters first, some may have been in my midseason report too. These ladies have really impressed me this season. The list is in no particular order. </p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="99875" first="Ashanna" last="Caviness"] (Bogota)</p> <p>Talk about putting a team on her back! Caviness did that and then some this season as she led Bogota to a Group 1 title. The ball comes off of her arm like a missile and her length is impossible to defend. She led the state in kills for a reason with 432!</p> [caption id="attachment_123265" align="alignright" width="300"]<img class="size-medium wp-image-123265" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pd/uploads/2020/12/stoughton-1-300x228.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="228" /> Photo: <a href="https://njpowerranking.com/2020/06/12/the-bar-is-set-high-for-brick-memorial-mustang-kate-stoughton/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New Jersey Power Ranking</a>[/caption] <p>[player_tooltip player_id="99872" first="Kate" last="Stoughton"] (Brick Memorial)</p> <p>Stoughton has gone from young phenom to superstar in her high school career. Like Caviness, she carried Brick Memorial as far as she could. She can punish you from anywhere on the court with a live arm and the ability to hit on angles. She finished her season with 357 kills. </p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="99857" first="Mariella" last="Hilyard"] (Mount St. Mary)</p> <p>Another powerful hitter comes up next in Hilyard. She is creative with her hitting and has plenty of firepower. But do not sleep on her defensive prowess as she had 233 digs to go along with her 344 kills! She is a complete outside hitter that is must-watch. </p> <p>Sadie Arasim (Paul VI)</p> <p>One that might have flown under the radar this season until the postseason was Arasim. She has a complete game with room for potential. She finished with 276 kills this season, still a monster number. But she took over this postseason!</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="168998" first="Mackenzie" last="Rock"] (Jefferson)</p> <p>Lastly, we have Rock for Jefferson. One of the more potent hitters in the state. She makes it look effortless out there with almost unlimited power she can draw upon. She wants the pressure and the spotlight with the ball in her hands which explains her 304 kill season. </p>
