Her combined kills total over her first two varsity seasons is 428 for a 2.9 k/s career average at the conclusion of her sophomore season. Quick and athletic, Downing's strength is in her ability to create good arm speed, especially when in system at the end of their fast tempo pin options. She concluded 2025 playing some of her best ball with six consecutive matches in double figure kills for a 4.5 k/s average over that stretch.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["899029"],"_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-6903efa427f43"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The sophomore outside hitter led Tallmadge with 3.3 k/s in 2025. With 240 total kills she outpaced her 190 kills from her freshman effort in 2024. She also increased her defensive effort to 8.1 d/m. The Suburban-American all-league honoree is an athletic attacker at 5'6 as she drives well into the air where her high elbow and pace can cause trouble for opponents. Twice over 20 kills this season, she made a statement in their final match with 22 kills. She will enter the 2026 season with 430 kills to her name.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["899030"],"_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-6903efa427fb5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Shaw had a solid season as she has received multiple accolades following her 2025 effort for Clay. The 6'0 middle was named to the SOC DI 1st team and the District 14 DVI/DVII 3rd team. With over 300 kills on the season, Shaw was second on the team with 3.8 k/s and a top efficiency of .248. Clay finished 16-8 overall and were led by a corps of non-seniors that should be poised to grow their overall success next season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["899034"],"_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-6903efa428022"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Shawnee advanced to the regional semifinal round following their 3-1 win over Lexington.
