About Hayley
Expert Analysis
Mike Bryant | Prep Dig Scout
James is a 2028 playing up with NOVA 17 Navy. Her athleticism and quickness of the court are key to her action as she can hang at any level with her overall skill set and impact when getting opportunities offensively. She is efficient in her movement on both sides of the ball, which includes a high elbow swing through different attack points to maximize her contact point. As a blocker, she has a good first step reaction in both directions, which allows her to get vertical and over the net fast.

I like what James brings to the net as an undersized middle at 5’10. She is athletic, jumps well, and can contact with open shoulders in the air that allow for good pace and range. Her development over the past few months has been noticeable as her timing and spacing through quick options has improved which allows her to be more assertive and aggressive upon contact. She is another prospect that will benefit well from her full cycle of training and competition with NOVA and her Jackson high school team.
