Julia is hard to miss when she is playing for her 14’s team, or any 14’s team in general. She is every bit of 6’6 and is someone who draws/mandates attention when she plays. Julia is coming along at a fast rate with both her defense and offense as a middle blocker and really stood out with both areas when we got to see her. She is a contacting the ball high on offense and is putting balls away through, over, and around blocks when they are up. She scores at a very high efficient rate and is scoring a ton of points when she touches the ball.

On the other side of the net on defense, she demonstrated solid timing and effective hand positioning, frequently taking away attacking angles and forcing opponents to adjust their shots. She takes up a lot of space and was able to force hitters to hit a ton of high shots, or shots they weren’t used to hitting because of her length and timing at the net. She was a force even when she wasn’t touching the ball just by causing the hitters to overthink where to put the ball. She helped make the life of her defenders easy when she was at the net. She was easily one of the best players on the floor when we got to watch her and a big time standout from the tournament.
