Fast and athletic, Miss Hyde is a speed demon on the court as a setter. She’ll go through walls to put her second contact on each and every pass, and has worked diligently this spring to make those sets hittable for her attackers. Her size might be a setback for some looking for a 5-1 setter for the next level, but she has the tools and the talent to be part of a setting cadre in the fall of 2028 in any capacity.

Quick and dynamic, Ava is a fast and athletic setter that will go through walls to get to the second ball. Aggressive and strong, Miss Hyde is part of a stable of setters at Center Grove that are the heir apparent to the high-level high school she’s part of. Currently on the roster for Team Indiana’s 16-1, Ava’s ability to go 100% without fail makes her stand out from a crowded setters group in this class.

Hyde is an impact floor leader with a well-rounded skill set. She contributes well in a variety of phases while providing consistent effort As a 5’7 setter, she runs an effective offense that includes speed and good location. Her high hands create good opportunities to vary her decisions, which can be deceptive in how simple her touch and extension is through the pins mixed with a very quick middle offense. TI Elite 16.1 is seeded in Pool 11 in the 16 Open division.

Ava has been a setter since I can remember watching her play a couple of years ago, yet never got around to adding her to these rankings. Quick and agile, Ava is often found chasing down balls that a lot of other setters can’t because of that impressive foot speed. I’d like to see a bit more setting variety from Ava in club, as her reps were limited to not-so-solid passers at our showcase a few weeks ago. Nevertheless, her hands are strong, her feet are fast, and she’s trained her way into our purview.

The THIRD of three setters from Center Grove in the same class of ’28, Miss Hyde is probably the fastest of the three. She can do things the other two can’t because of that speed, and is currently working on accuracy in placement and tempo once she gets there. Again, her speed will bail her passers out regularly, and the folks at TI have done well to ensure that accuracy can be coupled with that foot speed. That being said, this Ava is similar to the last Ava at CG in that both project to be a 6-2 setter, with athleticism and speed factors for both.
