Irish has a heavy arm on the Southridge varsity team, with a good reach on her block. She finds holes in the court, and makes it a point to utilize weak spots in opposing teams. She is fast in transition and has excellent timing when going up to hit.

Irish came into her own this club season with OJVA 16-1 Gold, shouldering a sizeable offensive load. She is dynamic and athletic, exuding raw physicality, moving around the court with speed and intensity. As a middle blocker, she is aggressive in transition, making herself available to setters with a quick pivot step and an explosive step close. She is hungry for the block, with a productive second step and a strong press into the court, she proves tough to attack around. Transitioning to the outside for high school season, I am eager to see how Irish adapts to this new role. Given her size, her recruiting ceiling may be higher as a pin, so this could be a good move for her.

Irish is a powerful and dynamic attacker, and she showcased her versatility from the front row on Saturday. Irish has played from the pins and from the middle; that experience was evident at the showcase, where Irish used her quick approach and hammer of an arm to put the ball away from everywhere on the court. She also displayed great serve receive play.

We watched Irish play out of the middle for OJVA 16-1. Irish is an athletic middle with a solid vertical. Using her strong court vision and quick footwork, Irish was a major offensive and defensive contributor for her team at Regionals, finding holes on the court to score.
