Bayer is no stranger to tournament accolades. She was an instrumental part of Howells-Dodge’s 2022 title, and she has retained the team’s libero role since. She helped the seventh-seeded Jaguars secure an upset to reach the tournament and had well over 400 total digs throughout 2024. Bayer’s wide-ranging impact will be remembered as the Jaguars continue to build on its dynasty in the 2020s.

Bayer is one of those vital contributors to Howells-Dodge’s 2022 championship who will be back for one more outing in 2024. Though the Jaguars missed out on this year’s postseason, the program has the talent and history of success to climb back in it. Bayer led this year’s team with a whopping 5.7 digs per set, and that lofty production is due for a rerun.

Howells-Dodge may have lost some impactful seniors from last season’s title-winning team, but there’s still a savvy veteran in the Jaguar backcourt. Bayer’s numbers have dramatically escalated this year, and she’s now compiling over five-and-a-half digs per set as the team’s libero. The junior’s impact spans far beyond her first contacts, as Bayer can step in and become a reliable secondary setter. It’s everything you’d want from your libero.

Ball control will be a strength for the Jaguars, too. Bayer was an extraordinary asset for Howells-Dodge in last season’s backcourt, and she now returns as an upperclassman defender in the contrasting jersey. A strong backcourt may be the key to helping offset the lost production from the 2022 offense. That’s where Bayer can step in and make her presence felt.

Finally, we wrapped up this feature with a defensive specialist who is becoming very familiar with the state championship stage. Bayer and Howells-Dodge keep making waves with two-straight state titles. The Jaguars got so much from their sophomore libero this year, and she’ll likely find a leadership role with a younger roster next year.
