Blankenship has great speed and placement on her swings. She can smack balls to the corners and if defenders are playing back, Blankenship can tip it over blockers to the shallow front court. Blankenship should receive plenty of one-on-one opportunities with Paintsville’s size in the front row during club and high school ball. Blankenship’s blocking is also impressive with her ability to form double blocks with teammates and close on them. Blankenship had 156 kills, 22 solo blocks, 41 assisted blocks, 110 digs and 44 aces for Paintsville in the fall.
