<p>Newspaper headlines and TV news coverage is often shown for the large school audience and big name programs around the state and the country. But what about all those small schools, where volleyball is a huge deal to the school and the entire town and/or community as a whole. Some of the best players in the state of Oregon actually come from some of those lower enrollment schools. Here are just a few of those amazing small school players who are making a huge impact for their programs this fall.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Johanson is a tall, fast and talented middle hitter who has amazing reach and range both offensively to swing around any block in front of her, as well as putting up a gigantic block to shut down the hitting lanes. She has outstanding footwork in transition and is super fast both getting off the floor in the offense or closing blocks from pin to pin. Definitely a ton of fun to watch play and everyone at Biola University, where she is committed to play college volleyball will soon see that too.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Newly committed to NAIA powerhouse Eastern Oregon University, Albert will definitely bring a wealth of skill and power to that already stacked program. She is a very strong, fast and dynamic middle hitter who also could be hugely effective on either pin as well. So quick off the jump, she can bring her powerful arm swing either in front or off one foot behind the setter. Valley Catholic relies on this talents hitter a ton, which in one of the key reasons why they are so highly successful in the state.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Zanon is certainly a very dynamic six-rotation volleyball player. She is extremely versatile, being able to play multiple positions, with really strong attacking skills and is reliable on defense. She does a fabulous job of showcasing all sorts of offensive shots in her hitting repertoire, including just hammering through the block with such a powerful arm swing. She is very talented in the back court as well, both with serve receive passing and defense or even being a huge threat on a back row attack. She definitely brings a ton to her team and is relied upon a great deal.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Searls brings a powerful arm to the left pin on her swing. She is very aggressive with her approach and is able to keep opponents completely off balance defensively with her offensive prowess. She is a extremely solid six-rotation player with strong abilities to pass on the serve receive lanes, dig on defense and swing hard from behind the 3meter attack line. She also has an excellent serve, keeping opponents out of system when she is not getting aces.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Although Borst is a little undersized, she does have a big time aggressive swing! She is not afraid to get up and take a strong rip at the ball, both the front and back courts. She does an excellent job finding the corners to score points, especially down the line. She shows solid ball ball control, both in her hitting as well as with her passing and defense.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Wow, this kid is so much fun to watch play. Walsh plays with such an infectious energy as she flies all over the back court, picking up every dig in sight. She plays with absolutely no fear on defense and always wants the ball to come her way in the serve receive lanes. She is an outstanding leader for her teammates and a coach's dream in terms of coachability, effort, resilience and tenacity.</p>
