About Anela
Expert Analysis
Anthony Jones | Prep Dig Scout
Anela was the libero at Pinnacle this season and racked up over 485 digs which is good for #6 in 6A, along with chipping in 45 aces as well. She also passed 501 balls in serve receive and had an error rate of only 6%. She was also named her region defensive player of the year as well, an honor that was well earned.
Anela is an athletic libero with the range (she is a taller libero) and competitiveness to impact the game at the collegiate level. She moves well laterally, covers a large portion of the court both in defense and serve receive. Her movement allows her to get to balls a lot of girls are unable to get. Anela also shows quick reactions on both hard-driven balls and tips as she is relentless in her pursuit of getting every dig. She brings a confident presence that lifts the defensive unit throughout all her matches. She also always competes at a high level and shows consistent effort regardless of score or situation. Her technique is also great to watch. She seems to make everything look easy with her great form that she has. Her serve-receive platform is consistent, allowing her to handle pace while keeping the offense in rhythm.
Anela is a pleasure to watch, and we can’t wait to see how she plays this club season and next year for AZ. She is currently uncommitted but we expect that to change by the end of club season as her talent is very high and we know a school is going to want this top libero to play for them.
