Expert Analysis
Robert Birch | Prep Dig Scout
I had and up close look at the Mansfield side of the court in their clash with Hackett as I ended up being the ball boy for the last match of the night. Every time I looked up, I saw Adeline in the middle of the action. She was slow to get up several times, limping at times, and sometimes just looked exhausted, but when the whistle blew, she was ready. All match long she was relentless.
Whether she was chasing balls down, setting her teammates, swinging for a kill or disrupting an opposing hitter, Godwin was up to the task. She earns my award for DAWG of the 2026 Diggies

Adeline is one of those players that does not get the attention she deserves. At 5’5″ most would look at her and see a DS/L or a setter. But a high flying outside?? You better believe it. Godwin finished the five setter semifinal battle with Cotter with 25 kills, 27 assists, and 4 aces. Watching video back on the game, she is a very intelligent hitter. She rarely hits to the same place on the court twice, has a solid cross and can hit line when needed. Adeline is also a high IQ setter that can run a quick game that really throws bigger teams off. Cotter had the size, Mansfield had the speed. She is going to be a key to how Mansfield is able to keep Hackett off balance.

The Lady Tigers’ captain has been busy this season. Whether it’s kills, digs, aces or assists, Adeline finds her way into the stat sheet.
But her value goes beyond the numbers. Mansfield needs her leadership as much as her production heading into the state tournament. The Lady Tigers will also need big performances from middles

if they want to make another championship run. Godwin facilitates a powerful offense and when they are all connecting, they can be unstoppable.
The 2A classification might be the toughest to predict this year. Several teams have the talent, and plenty are battle-tested. It may come down to which team plays with the most confidence and grit.
That pretty much describes Adeline and the way she’s played all season.
