<p>Williams has taken off this year and had some big performances on the year. In a win over Lesterville this week she was almost unstoppable in the win finishing with 27 kills. Her career high was 31 in a 2-3 loss to Eminence. Already has shattered her kill total from last year with 313 compared to 95 last season. A solid Class 1 player who hits with power out of the middle plays defense and is the primary passer for the Wildcats.</p>

<p>She tags me in her highlights almost after every match and I enjoy watching them. A big strong middle who can close to the pins quickly, a great vertical on her block. Her transition off the net is quick and she's up and ready for the attack. She has the skill set to be a next-level player!</p>

<p>Moriah is another player for the Devils that has a promising future. A quick and hard-hitting middle who sees the block well enough to hit around or has the power to push the ball through the block. With a couple more years of experience and will be one of the best from MRH.</p>

<p>I hope someone reads this and goes and watches the potential this kid has. Already has the height and wingspan for a top middle but is extremely raw but the potential is off the charts. She needs work and she is willing to do just that. Her vertical is very impressive getting her head over the net and when she can get a hold of the ball her power is also impressive. She has 161 kills on the season and 60 blocks.</p>

<p>Valerie plays for the Class 1 Giants and has the potential to be a very good middle. She is powerful, and quick, sees the blockers well, and has the fire in her to be great. A raw athlete that's built for volleyball. Be a great fit for any JUCO.</p>
