I recently wrote about Galloway for Prep Girls Hoops after watching her shine in that sport, where she could help Division I teams as a defensive stopper with offensive upside. She still probably has more upside in volleyball, but it’s close. The daughter of former Iowa hooper Kyle Galloway, Hattie is a dangerous two-way performer in the middle of the net in volleyball. Explosion off of the court, leaping ability and emerging power in her swing give her a chance to reach her considerably ceiling in that sport. It’s a matter of repetitions. When she focuses on one sport in college, she’ll maximize her potential. Watching her as a student-athlete at the school where our kids attend, there’s no doubt in my mind she’ll put in the work necessary to be her best.

One of the top middle blockers from Iowa will be suiting up for the Iowa Rockets .  The first thing I notice about Galloway is how easily she moves around the court.  She adjusts extremely well to where the pass is going, where her setter is at, and how she can terminate.  She is a middle blocker, but out of serve receive, she finds a variety of ways to score points.  However, when she gets a chance to approach and swing off one foot on a slide she is really tough to stop.
