Expert Analysis
Bob Abels | Prep Dig Scout
While undersized in the middle Amara puts a lot of air between her shoes and the floor to put the ball away. She moved from our watch list to number 130 in the rankings. Her middle play proved a significant role in leading Loudoun Elite to their first national bid in club history.
For her high school Lightridge she led her team in blocks and finished second in kills with a hitting percentage of .247. She runs the quick tempo sets in the middle well.

The first thing you notice about Amara is her jump when playing the middle. She gets her hands high over the net to put up an effective block, despite her 5’10” height. Her block touch reaches over 9 feet. She also uses that jump to effectively hang high to bang the quick sets in the middle.
Last year Amara earned significant playing time for Lightridge. She led the team in blocks and finished second in kills
Loudoun Elite Marissa has earned a trip to the Junior Nationals in the Freedom Division. It will be the first appearance ever for a Loudoun Elite team. Amara playing the middle plays a significant part in that success.
