Emrie walked into the Houston showcase in Spring and proved that her astounding frame is only part of her story. Her footwork was better than you expect at this height and this age and the athleticism she showed moving through the system in transition suggested a player whose physical development and volleyball IQ are advancing at a great rate. Her blocking mechanics drew consistent attention from court coaches throughout the day and the ability she showed to close on tempo sets with a quick and well-angled first step is the kind of thing you typically do not see from a prospect who is still this early in her career. She competed with a focus and coachability throughout every segment of the event that evaluators noted as full of potential. The way she responded to coaching in real time spoke to a character and competitive mindset that goes well beyond the physical tools. The sportsmanship she carried through the entire day was just as impressive as her production. Please help us congratulate her on earning a Top Performer award for this showcase.

Fulton (pictured) came out displaying her repertoire from the first swing to her last. She is showing the determination to put balls down that will turn heads throughout her high school career. Fulton puts quicks to side lines and other zones, getting on top of balls to put great power into them. Fulton goes up with a purpose on each attack. She also executed amazing slides. Fulton does what she can with out of system balls to send down balls across the net. Her athleticism also showed on her swing blocking.

Fulton is a Class of 2030 middle who will join Johnson High School for the upcoming season and features for Ignite in club competitions. Standing at 6’4″, she’s an imposing figure at the net for her teams, and even though her game is still a work in progress, she does a good job of using her length to dominate the net and shows some interesting signs of potential. Offensively, Fulton thrives by making contact with the ball at a very high point and showing good variation in her swings and the ability to hit in different directions. Her timing when going up to block opponents is always sharp and allows her to take up a lot of space from them with her long arms.
