H.S. Preview: Five Top Ohio Capital Conference Returners

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='139373' first='Myriah' last='Massey']</strong> - Pickerington Central<br>Massey, a 5'10 senior outside hitter, is one of the most complete prospects returning to the conference from 2022. The 1st team all-league selection in the OC-Buckeye has terminated over 300 kills in each of her three previous varsity seasons and should eclipse the 1,000 career kills mark early in the 2023 season. Just shy of a 10 d/m career average, she increased her efficiency offensively in 2022 with a career best .330 output through nearly 800 total swings. She is one of the nation's best prospects in the sand, where she has continued to hone her complete skill set, earning a selection to the USA U19 beach national team that led to a silver medal at the 2022 FIVB U19 beach world championships. She is committed to play beach for national power Florida State.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='139282' first='Lily' last='Barron']</strong> - Oletangy Orange (*pictured)<br>The 6'2 Houston commit is back for her final varsity season following a 2022 effort that included a career best effort. She terminated 323 total kills for a 4.1 k/s average as the Pioneers finished 15-9 overall with Barron the only non-senior to earn 1st team all-league honors in the OC-Central while also earning Division I all-Ohio honorable mention recognition. She continues to grow in the quality of her arm both in control and range as well as in the pace she can create. She has 471 total kills and an efficiency of .267 for her high school career thus far.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='151968' first='Teagan' last='Ng'] </strong>- Big Walnut<br>The 5'11 senior outside hitter is the top returning offensive threat from 2022 for the Golden Eagles. She was a OC-Capital 1st team all-league selection after averaging 3.3 k/s last fall in terminating 250 kills with a very respectable .347 efficiency as a pin attacker. She uses her physical tools well to contact high to challenge the net defense well or to swing with good control and speed through space. She enters the season just shy of 500 total career kills and with just over 450 total digs. She is committed to West Liberty.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='169133' first='Noel' last='Perkins']</strong> - Gahanna Lincoln<br>With over 1,000 career assists, Perkins is set to lead the Lions' offense once again as their primary distributor. With over 650 assists in 2022 alone, she was an OC-Ohio 1st team all-league honoree. Perkins' stock steadily increased throughout the recent club season as she had ample opportunity to display her setting skills, court leadership, and decision-making. She has good ability to set with variation and tempo and has improved the efficiency of her location through all options. She led her team in service aces while also contributing 5.5 d/m.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='151975' first='Maggie' last='Rolwing']</strong> - New Albany<br>As a sophomore in 2022, Rolwing led the Eagles offense with a 2.2 k/s averaged. She had a career best 175 kills for a season with a .204 efficiency. Where she made the biggest impact was on the defensive side as the 6'0 middle earned 75 total blocks for a 3.1 b/m average that helped her solidify her selection as a 1st team all-league member in the OC-Ohio, one of just four sophomores last season to earn such distinction across all divisions in the conference.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
