Expert Analysis
Mike Bryant | Prep Dig Scout
The 5’9 junior middle is off to a good start as her early-season numbers are better than her career averages entering 2026. As this team’s offensive strength is at the pins, Waire does a good job to get herself available with spacing and timing that helps her to swing with good purpose when she gets her opportunities. At 1.9 k/s, these improved numbers are also a product of her career high efficiency of .400. She also provides a career best 1.8 b/m.

Read EvaluationMike Bryant | Prep Dig Scout
Waire is an experienced middle that knows well how to maximize her physical tools as a fundamentally sound threat at the net. As a key piece for Calvert last fall during their unbeaten season, what she brings to the court is an understanding of how to compete in high pressure moments and on the biggest stage. Her competitive maturity was key for a 16U team and in her success on both sides of the ball, which included smart offense and good pressure as a defender.

Read EvaluationMike Bryant | Prep Dig Scout
Waire is a well trained athlete with big strides ahead of her as she continues her competitive cycle with Black Swamp and her Calvert high school team, one of the best in Ohio. She competes well as all Calvert prospects do, which includes performing with confidence, staying assertiveness in their individual role, and with efficiency. The 5’9 middle averaged nearly two kills per set in 2025 on a .355 efficiency and 48% kill rate.
