Very long and athletic, she’s a reliable scoring option at the pin, but also gets to impact the game on the backcourt with her dangerous servers and her superior defensive skills. Anderson was a key player for her high school team Stanwood last season, leading them in almost every aspect of the game.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Nayella George – Middle Blocker – HS: Kamiak – 2023</strong></p> <p>A dual-sport student-athlete who also excels on a basketball court, Nayella George uses her athleticism to impact the game in a great way. She stands at 5’9” but is very mobile and can jump really well. That makes of her blocking arguably the best part of her game and she’s always in position to stop opponents at the net. She had a growing role with her high school team Kamiak last season, producing 43 kills and 46 blocks in just 43 sets.</p>
