Barksdale gets on top of balls and takes strong finishes with her net attacks. Barksdale makes good adjustments in the air trying to shove balls away from defensive specialists. Barksdale has also found more bit on her serves. Barksdale makes a lot of things happen when the team is in system. Barksdale said she’s been trying to see the court better and focus more on helping her team, adding that helps keep her energy high.

Barksdale (pictured) had an outstanding season for the Devils in the fall. She is tough on go routes. She can smack the ball to different parts of the court and find different ways to tap balls off blockers and to open parts of the court. Barksdale also makes nice first passes then quickly transitions to offense and is a sound server. Barksdale had 313 kills, 152 digs and 39 aces for Owensboro this past fall.

Barksdale (pictured) could be one of the best hitters in 3rd Region history by the time it is over and done with. She played a big role in leading the Devils to the first region championship in program history. Her club and high school teams take advantage of her quick arm swings. She throws in lefthanded swings to catch opponents off-guard. She does a great job with her timing on blocks to get balls on hands and help out her defense.

Barksdale has a quick arm motion on her swings giving her a huge advantage. Her presence at the net forces opponents to hit balls high and wide. Barksdale can switch to a lefthanded swing when needed.
