<p class="text-gray-700">Screaton has been nothing short of dominant, leading the state with 106 kills while averaging 4.1 per set. She is crafty with her shot selection and quick at the net- always ready for setter, <a href="https://prepdig.com/player/maddie-lynett/">[player_tooltip player_id='738625' first='Maddie' last='Lynett']</a> to find her. Screaton can attack from the pin, run inside routes, and back row. Her versatility and ability to score from anywhere on the court make her a weapon for Columbine.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Senior outside hitter, Dewicki, has tallied 85 kills so far, swinging at an impressive 4.7 per set. She brings a tall, athletic presence that keeps defenses on edge. When the set is in the right spot, she can put it straight to the floor, but she also shows a great range with tips, pushes, and sharp angles. Dewicki is a go to option when the Eagles are in serve receive rotation one, where she can run a slide like attack on the right-side which proved to be extremely effective.</p>
