Her final season was her best as she had a career high 375 kills for 4.6 k/s with her best efficiency of .326 and a 46% kill rate. At 6'0, she can create a big touch point with power and range in her tool kit as a hitter. We should expect that she will score a lot of points at the next level as she gets ready to take her game to Furman University. Watson and her AVC team will compete in the 18 USA division and open play Friday afternoon.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["446608"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-680abf9fd36e8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Habeeb finished her high school career with 1,337 total digs for Ohio power Magnificat. Her final two seasons each featured over 500 digs. She is the primary libero for her CVC team and provides a lot of stability in the passing and defensive aspects. The Youngstown State commit and her team will start the tournament as the #2 seed in Pool 4 in the 18 American division.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["718892"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":771211,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-680abf9fd375f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A 1st team all-Ohio selection in DV, Kilgore had a breakout senior season as a prolific scorer for Elyria Catholic, which has translated nicely to the club season for her [program_tooltip program_id='431711' first='Boss' last='CLE'] team and their qualification to the GJNC. With nearly 400 total kills over the fall 2024 season, Kilgore averaged 4.4 k/s to go along with 6.5 d/m. When on time in the air she can bring some heat. Competing in 18 American this weekend, she and her team open the event as the #3 seed in Pool 14.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["386849"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":771215,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-680abf9fd37bc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Matus is a solid two-way prospect and her contributions to her Brunswick team were plenty over her high school career. She earned a career best 210 kills on a 51% kill rate in her senior season as her setting numbers included 310 assists, half of her output from the prior season. She contributed as her team needed her and overall she finished her career with 424 kills, 556 digs, and 1,678 assists. She earned GCC 1st team all-conference honors in 2024. [program_tooltip program_id='431851' first='MVC' last=''] is the #2 seed in Pool 7 in the 18 American event.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["524686"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-680abf9fd3808"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">McArthur was a juggernaut of a defender for Avon Lake as she completed her high school career with 1,282 total digs for a 5.4 digs per set average over her last three varsity seasons. Her 2024 effort included a single match with 49 digs over four sets, with another contest picking up 39 digs. The Cleveland State commit will stand in and take an opponent's best shot with with good quickness in her reaction to create offensive opportunities. She and her Southwest team open 18 American play as the #8 overall seed.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Contributor Bio</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Mike Bryant is in his 6th cycle as the lead scout for Prep Dig Ohio, helping grow the visibility and support for prospects from all areas of the state.
