Expert Analysis

Chelan captured a sixth straight State Championship in the 1A Division, and Hughbanks has been on board for the past four. The 2A State Player of the Year is a physical player- the Goats called her number early and often each match, and she never seems to waver or not deliver in the clutch. Hughbanks will be playing Beach for Florida State next; it won’t be a shock to see her become an early contributor for the Seminoles.

Hughbanks does it all in the Chelan system, digging up everything in the back row and cashing in big swings at the net or anywhere along the back row. Her explosiveness, unbelievable skill level, and consistency are why this small school star is headed to Florida State to play beach volleyball in the ACC.

Hughbanks does outstanding work on the beach in the spring and summer; it’s fun to see a reminder of how good her game is indoors. Chelan has a system; opposing teams know you have to defend the 2026 outside; that is easier said than done. She can hammer through or around the block and has excellent control of her off-speed game. Hughbanks plays the middle back and is equally adept at digging up swings or stepping in and setting the second ball to the pin. Chelan battled Wenatchee hard and almost took the second set off the 4A champs; it will be tough to knock the Goats off their perch in the 1A ranks.

The Chelan OH is an early commit to Florida State to play beach, but her indoor game is also incredibly strong. Hughbanks and her team will be chasing a 5th straight 1A title, and the junior is a terrific all around talent. She is an effective attacker from both pins, and as a back row threat Chelan will find in any situation.

Replacing an all-time great like Olivia Strandberg was never going to be easy for Chelan or the player called upon to carry the load the next season. Strandberg left to play beach for Florida Atlantic after three state championships and Player of the Year honors. Hughbanks has been asked to fill the void left on the Goat’s offense and defense, and the talented beach and indoor prospect has been on point all season. She is called on to take swings at every spot along the net and in the back row and as freshman setter Brooklyn Foyle has become comfortable running the offense, the two have combined for big kill and assist numbers. Chelan played a challenging schedule early, and now it’s paying off with Hughbanks poised to lead another run at the State Tournament.

Hughbanks was a significant part of the Chelan state title run last season as a freshman, and she continues to excel on the beach and indoors. At 5’9 with terrific athleticism, she has all the shots and defensive skills you expect to see from an elite sand player, and she can crank up the heat to terminate points. Chelan will be pushing for a fourth title in a row, Hughbanks will be counted on to be a difference maker for the Mountain Goats.

Hughbanks is the go-to attacker for the team, when things were tight in matches at the NWPSL, the sets came her way more often than not. One of the better freshman players in the state, she is a six-rotation outside with a quick powerful arm, and every shot in her toolbox. An elite beach athlete, Hughbanks plays defense and passes in serve receive at a high level and has already banked her first state title with Chelan. Two great shots she hit against RVC were a crazy angle kill that was well inside the 10-foot line, and a stinging pipe attack that she moves around the middle blocker to score consistently.
