Castle is a young, but experienced player the Panthers can build around the next three years. Castle (pictured) has turned into a nice six-rotation player for the Panthers. She started out in a big defensive role as an eighth grader, but increased her production at setter as a freshman. She moves her feet well to put balls to the targets. Knox Central head coach Aimee Gross said Castle has great court awareness and reads balls well, which leads to some sound digs. Gross added Castle has a great serve and it showed this past season, but Gross noted Castle needs to learn to control it more consistently. Castle had 115 assists, 105 digs and a team-high 64 aces for Knox Central this past season.
