About Anela
Expert Analysis
Anthony Jones | Prep Dig Scout
Anela was a top level libero at the tourney this weekend as she demonstrated her defense by getting so many touches and getting Pinnacle in system throughout the tournament.
Averaging over 5.4 digs a set, she was a force to be reckoned with by her ability to anticipate and react so well to opposing teams and their offense attacks. She was always reading the hitters and getting her feet to the ball to create a solid platform that made it easy to pass to the setter to keep her team in system most of the weekend. Her footwork was second to none as she was able to effectively and quickly move from defense to overage back to defense and always seemed to pick up the tip or dump when it happened.
In serve and serve receive she did great with her ability to keep teams out of system with aggressive serves and would place them super effectively when needed short or to the corners. Her serve receive was excellent as she was able to get a solid pass off whether it was right at her or if she needed to take the seam ball. She basically was able to take up half the court with her serve receive which is what all coaches want out of their libero.
It is always hard to find liberos that stand out however Anela was an easy choice with her exceptional play this weekend. We look forward to seeing this 2027 libero play more the rest of the season!
