I’ve been talking about Hannah for a while now, I’ve been keeping my eye on her for a while, her sister played in the area when she was younger, there’s a major opportunity at her position at her school, and she’s on a good club team that’s been improving and playing together for a while. It’s a good formula for a player to grow and develop, and she really has. She’s grown a couple inches over the past year or two, and is officially out of tweener range, and has been playing all three spots on the front line, as well as taking over as the all around six when her teammate went down with injury. Her passing was surprisingly good after developing this year, she was getting up enough to get a good angle down on the ball, and did a good job getting balls in play both cross and line. I saw her hit a couple different tempo balls and she adjusted well on each, which is usually the stumbling point for developing pins. Adding all the components needed, it seems like all around 6 is going to be her role for the future, and next up she should have a big role for Severna Park HS this season.

With the injury to left side Camryn Bedell Camryn Bedell 5'9" | OH Broadneck | 2029 State VA BAVA needed to replace her production on the left side. Camryn’s injury came when the score of their first set of the day was 28-28. They lost the next two points with her out of the lineup.

Hannah, who normally plays right side came in to replace Camryn on the left side. She produced some critical points as they won their next two sets 25-19, 15-12 to win the match. In the third set after BAVA was aced to pull WPVC to within one 10-9, Hannah put an end to the serve with a kill then went back to serve and pulled an ace to increase the lead to 12-9. They would go on to win 15-12.

BAVA would go on to win their fourth match against New York Juniors 17-25, 25-23, 15-6.

Jeremy was high on her as an outside. While she may not have the same pop as A’vielle Lewis A’vielle Lewis 5'10" | OH/MB Chesapeake Math & IT Academy - North | 2029 State VA she can still put some good pop on the ball. She actually carries some height for the left side at 6’0″. Give her some time and A’vielle and her can make for a pretty strong tandem.

As a frosh with Severna Park she finished second on the team in kills. Severna Park made it to the Maryland Class 3 Regional playoffs before losing in the finals to Arundel.

BAVA Blaze will play in at least the Freedom Division at Junior Nationals, but could be bumped up after Paramount won an Open Bid at the Show Me Qualifier. Hannah debuts at number 128 in our class of 2029 rankings.
