[player_tooltip player_id='196346' first='Taylor' last='Bahnub'] - Dublin Jerome Bahnub averaged over two kills per set last season and should increase her production in 2022 coming off a solid club season. At 6'1 she has a physical arm in the air and can create high contact with her length and athleticism. She has good versatility to swing at the pins and on quicker options in the middle. Look for her to be a big impact option.   [player_tooltip player_id='114578' first='Dakota' last='Henry'] - Kings One of the best libero prospects in the greater Cincy area, Henry is a key factor in Kings' effort to generate quality offensive opportunities for their big arms. She has 36 digs (686 for her career) over three matches for a 12 digs per match average. Her quickness and range are maximized well by her patience and vision as the opponent's offense develops. Henry also has 11 service aces this season as Kings is off to a 2-1 start.   [player_tooltip player_id='139290' first='Ava' last='Prince'] - Miami East (*pictured) Prince is a very capable setter as her stock increased big time over the course of the club season. She has good distribution skills and consistently gets her attackers quality opportunities to take big swings. She is athletic with good quickness, maximizing her 5'9 frame to contribute well in all phases of the game. In 2021 she made a huge impact at the service line as she earned 81 totals aces.   [player_tooltip player_id='114600' first='Faith' last='Young'] - Harrison The 6'1 junior outside hitter has a big arm and should lead the Harrison offense once again this season. In 2021 she terminated 340 kills for an average of 4.7 kills per set. She also served of 38 total aces while averaging over eight digs per match. Harrison finished 21-3 last season and have tools around the court that should help them compete well once again in 2022.   [player_tooltip player_id='169106' first='Samantha' last='Young'] - Rocky River Young had a big 2021 campaign offensively with 358 kills on the season for a 4.9 kills per set average. She enters the season knocking on the door of 600 career kills as she is early into her junior year. She will garner a lot of attention this season given the volume of swings she takes but also for her ability to elevate and get on top of the ball with a high elbow.
