Alexa has one of the more unusual stat lines among the Class 6A leaders. She has 63 kills in 18 sets while also sitting among her region’s leaders with 18 aces. Her roster history lists her across setter, outside hitter and defensive specialist, giving Dunwoody multiple ways to deploy her.

That type of versatility can be a tactical advantage because it makes rotations less predictable. A player with setting experience understands how an offense is being built, while attacking experience helps her recognize what hitters need and what blocks are trying to take away. Alexa’s ability to contribute from multiple locations means opponents cannot evaluate her through a single responsibility. The next step is continuing to make all of those skills complement one another rather than simply being separate tools. ~ S.Fitzgerald @BenchtoBeast_prepdigga

Sharing the setting responsibilities, Alexa gave A5 another steady floor leader capable of maintaining offensive rhythm. Her ability to step into different rotations while keeping hitters comfortable provided valuable depth throughout the long tournament. Having two setters who can run an offense seamlessly was one of the strengths behind A5’s impressive finish.  ~ Samantha Fitzgerald @BenchtoBeast_prepdigga
