Halleigh House- Junior defensive specialist for Greenwood, Halleigh House has turned herself into a dominant libero for the squad. One of the aspects Greenwood struggled in most last year was simply passing, but House has created a positive culture with the first touch, and it truly shows on the court. House has become a leader defensively where she’s already tallied 109 digs in the 9 statted games on the season. This libero not only pushes for every ball possible, but she stays communicating with her other teammates on the floor and has a great attitude. I had the privilege of coaching Halleigh House at WKU Elite Camp on my team, and I loved every minute coaching her. She is so receptive to feedback and only wants to get better!
