Georgia Kate’s defensive production deserves recognition, particularly because it reflects the sustained responsibility of a back-row player. Strong defenders must maintain concentration throughout long matches, recognize attacking patterns and make controlled contacts that allow teammates to run an offense. Her impressive dig totals made her one of the more productive freshmen in Georgia, but the most important evaluation moving forward will be the quality and consistency of those contacts. She has demonstrated a willingness to take on substantial defensive responsibility early in her high school career. That experience gives her an excellent foundation for continued growth. ~ Samantha Fitzgerald @BenchtoBeast_prepdigga
