This 5’11″ springy outside will be looking to continue her dominant play this season. With a live arm she has the ability to be one of the states top players going forward and expect her defensive numbers to start popping off the page as well.
Jamie Keys Jamie Keys 5'11" | OH Montclair | 2023 State NJ (Montclair; CJVA)
Keys is a gem for the class of 23′ playing her high school ball at Montclair. The heavy-armed 5’11″ outside has excellent court presence and she’s lethal from anywhere on the court. Her ability to terminate at a high level and her ample blocking game is enough to make an impact on a match as you see her serve receive and defense continue to improve.
Sibana Gonzalez Sibana Gonzalez OH West-Windsor | 2023 State NJ (West Windsor Plainsboro South; Princeton VBC)
Gonzales is the engine for West Windsor as the lead outside hitter. She has all the tools as an outside hitter with her athleticism and versatility. She makes an impact offensively and defensively with her passing and lethal swing. Last year, she finished with 289 kills and 158 digs. Expect her stock to continue to rise especially due to her international play experience.
Ashley Kingsley Ashley Kingsley OH Fair Lawn | 2023 State NJ (Fair Lawn; Essex VBC)
Kingsley was quick to establish a presence in NJ High School Volleyball in 2019 putting up 171 kills, 178 digs, and 27 aces in her freshman year at Fair Lawn. Her volleyball IQ is off the charts allowing her to almost be unstoppable in all phases of the game. She is the anchor and an all-around player. Fair Lawn will go as far as she can take them.
