Kayla Dulgar - 2023 | River View Dulgar provided a complete skill set and production quality for the Black Bears in 2020. She took a fair amount of swings in averaging 1.5 kills per set while also leading the offense with over 600 assists on the season. Other areas she contributed well includes leading the team in total service aces with 61 and collecting an average of 13.5 digs and 1.5 blocks per match. As a setter she has good court awareness and adjusts location well depending on her movement to puruse the set. She can set the full range of the offense and shows good mechanics and ability to push tempo well. Her approach work as a right side hitter is fluid and she creates good torque to provide some good pace on the ball. Just a sophomore, she will be fun to watch develop further going forward. [player_tooltip player_id="114480" first="McKenzie" last="Johnson"] - 2022 | Miamisburg It is difficult to determine where Johnson helps her team most as she is a highly capable point scorer as an attacker while showing good fundamentals and control as a setter. She creates really good torque in the air when attacking that allows her to move the ball around with power. Her momentum build helps provide the aggressiveness at the peak of her jump as she can get the ball onto the defense with authority. As a setter, she prepares early to pursue the ball and has ability to extend and locate through both pins and agains the flow well. She led Miamisburg in kills per set at 2.3 while also splitting setting duties. Defensively she picked up nearly 10 digs per match. She was a repeat GWOC all-league selection earning a first-team nod in 2020. Gabi Moulton - 2023 | Oletangy Liberty Moulton is an athlete. She elevates well and has good arm control to score off her arm. At 5'7, she elevates really well, which benefits her well through the full range of skills she can perform for her team. Just a sophomore, she is continuing to develop her skills in both facets but has a great foundation to work with going forward. There is an ease in her play that gets her to the ball well through her footwork without her wasting much effort or unecessary movement. When attacking, she has an airy lift and can create a high contact point while being able to swing effectively from both pins. As a setter, she shows good hand position and extension and involves pin and middle hitters well with her location. There is a lot of upside to Moulton's game and she could become one of the best dual setter-hitter propsects in this class in Ohio.
