Expert Analysis
Jeremy Strain | Prep Dig Scout
Whitney showed a strong game for Athena. On the block she was physical and had good timing, making some strong blocks, getting them closed and keeping up the defensive pressure. Offensively she played a strong all around game, hard hitting, getting the ball down, played a decent back row game, she’s not going to hurt you out there, which is a compliment, a lot of OH playing back row are just that, but she legit handled the position and didn’t hurt her team on serve receive. She’s got solid height and was getting high enough to get the downward plane you are looking for as a hitter. Seeing that she’s listed as spending some time at MB, she might be right at the limit you want a Middle height wise, but I’d be interested to see her there as well and compare notes, depending on where she plays at the next level, an athletic MB that can block and has that kind of offensive skill set would be lethal. Even as an all-around 6 she’s a solid prospect, but I think she could give you some flexibility as well which is huge for coaches now with roster constraints and budgets.

La Center brought another quality team to the state championship, and Martlell significantly contributed to the Wildcat’s success. She played with energy and all-out effort at the net and when she served and played defense in the back row. The 2027 MB manages to get a touch on plenty of swings at the net, slowing down attacks and setting the table for the La Center offense.

Martell and her Excel NW 15 Lux team played tough in Las Vegas. The rising sophomore from La Center posted big block numbers in several matches throughout the tournament. She has expanded her offensive toolbox, directing tips to the middle and the edges and taking out-of-system swings from the middle, when the sets are coming from well off the net. That takes trust and a great connection with you’re setter, Martell had it working

, opposing hitters face a formidable wall of hands. Martell is active on the block, she reads well and will dive into a seam to close down attacking lanes. The La Center 2027 is a terrific competitor with solid length for either the MB or OH position.
