Amalia Djoumessi Amalia Djoumessi 6'2" | MB/RS Waverly-Shell Rock | 2028 IA is a fast moving scrappy middle who knows how to quickly adjust to her sets, and moves the ball around well. She is aggressive when it comes to her swings, but she knows how to utilize her shots as well. You don’t see many middles leading their team’s offense, but Djoumessi is that assertive with her offense that she is the Go-Hawks go-to.

Tournament Stats/ Season Stats

Kills: 22/ 343

Blocks: 6/ 98

There’s no doubt that Djoumessi is the key scorer for the Go-Hawks and for good reason. The junior is incredibly versatile and does a great job of being an option all across the net. She uses her height and long arms to hit around her opponents. If Waverly-Shell Rock manages to win this game, you can assume Amalia will be at the top of the stats.

I hadn’t watched Djoumessi play in person until seeing her in action at the Waverly-Shell Rock Invite earlier this month. The uber-gifted junior made herself at home during her team’s annual home tournament, leading the Go-Hawks to a 4-1 record in the event, which included a win against a ranked 5A squad in Iowa City High. Djoumessi is a powerful force at the opposite pin. Her heavy left-handed swing terminates points with authority. She reads the defense well and works off of blocks. Her block is effective thanks to big bounce and long arms. Djoumessi is a prospect deserving of more attention from college volleyball programs even as a state champion wrestler with an incredibly high ceiling in that sport. Her sister wrestles at Iowa. Their father wrestled at Wartburg.
