In the past week, Grace has played a significant role on this young varsity team. In her last match, she tallied over 10 kills and has maintained an impressive average of 4.3 digs per set. Recently featured in the Prep Dig article “Setters and Liberos New to the 2028 Rankings,” where she made her debut at No. 104 in the state of Virginia for the Class of 2028. This was an evaluation based on video analysis that highlighted her work ethic and motivation to improve. With two back-row players graduating, Grace now has a compelling opportunity to secure the libero position moving forward.

Grace is not one of those players I have seen physicall play on the court. This ranking is based on what video I have seen. She brings the motivation to work hard to improve her game on the court. This results in a 104 debut for out class of 2028. Obviously, this may rise once I see her play.

You have to respect a girl who loves challenges and works hard to improve her game. Those are the players who rise above the competition. Grace appears to have those attributes.

Cave Spring struggled in their high school season last year. That year Grace did not make the varsity roster her frosh season. The Knights lost two of their back row players to graduation this coming season. This gives Grace an opportunity to win the libero job. Despite her 5’6″ height she appears on their roster as a outside hitter/defensive specialist.

Grace proves that waiting for me to watch you play is not a requirement. Sometimes just an email with a video will get you on the radar. Videos fall short of showing the complete player, but they provide an introduction. When building that profile on Prep Dig always include a video. It may put you on the radar.

Grace shows an ability to hit outside, but at 5’5″ her best position exists at libero/defensive specialist. Her video shows she has the tools to play the position. There also is a good work ethic to put herself through physical training to improve her overall strength that will help her game.
