Expert Analysis
Guilherme Torres | Prep Dig Scout
Paugh has been Willis’ main player over the last few years and will be even more important for them in her senior season. Originally a middle, she’s been playing as an outside hitter lately so the team can make the most of her offensive power and she has produced even more for them. Her background as a middle allows her to hit a quicker set at the pin with tremendous efficiency, but she also does an excellent job of using her length to put the ball down in out-of-system plays. Paugh is also a great blocker, who reads opponents well and uses her long arms to get in their way and get stops.

Paugh’s TAV Houston 17 Adidas side had a solid campaign over the weekend, getting four wins and one loss to rank fifth. Originally a middle, she played at the pin for them and proved to be a viable scoring option there as well. Paugh was nearly unstoppable when hitting a quicker set at the pin, smashing the ball straight down, but also displayed good vision and precision to score in out-of-system plays. Her blocking was also very effective, creating problems for opposing hitters. Paugh had a few brief struggles with her passing, but immediately regained her confidence and moved forward.

Paugh is another player to be featuring for a new club this season – she’s with TAV Houston 17 Adidas, who will be on the court in the 17 Open division. She’s among the best offensive middles in the region and hasn’t stopped getting better at it. Paugh is very long, makes contact with the ball at a very high point and can put a lot of power into her swings. She’s been playing as an outside hitter for her high school team Willis and it seems that it has been helping her develop her overall game and also her offense as she adds a ton of versatility to it.

Paugh was one of the most exciting freshmen to watch in the middle in the last club season and she did an excellent job moving to outside hitter during high school. She’s a player that checks all the boxes when it comes to having the tools to be a dominant middle as she’s long, physical and extremely mobile. Paugh is extremely effective with her offense and is a solid blocker too. I haven’t watched her over the last few months, but I can bet that the time she spent as a pin hitter has helped her develop other areas of her game and become an even more complete player.
