Janie enters the fall carrying the confidence of a championship setter. The 6-foot-1 Walton standout was named MVP of the 2025 Class 6A state final after recording 32 assists and 11 digs in the Raiders’ victory over Alpharetta. Earlier in the postseason, she delivered 48 assists in a five-set win over North Forsyth and followed with 33 assists during a sweep of Buford. She is currently ranked No. 5 in Georgia’s 2028 class.

Her next challenge is maintaining that command when every opponent understands what Walton’s offense can do. Janie must continue locating through difficult first contacts, changing tempo and recognizing when to involve different attackers. Her right-side background also creates opportunities to attack, block and remain physically involved in the front row. She has already shown that she can direct an offense under championship pressure; this season will test how much more she can add. ~ S.Fitzgerald @BenchtoBeast_prepdigga
