Expert Analysis
Jesse Etter | Prep Dig Scout
Strong is a terrific basketball player, but we have loved her tough, gritty play at libero since she burst on the scene as a freshman at West Valley Yakima. She can hang in against the biggest swings and has the speed and hands to cover the corner or handle a hard, high shot overhand. Strong will always give her team her best effort; she knows how to make winning plays and has the mental makeup you want to see in a high-level libero.

The West Valley Yakima sophomore is an outstanding multi-sport athlete. This winter, she scored 31 points in a Rams basketball game. On the volleyball court at PNQ, she communicated at a high level, and her talk and encouragement kept CRU 16 energized. Against Club V 16 Red, Strong planted her feet and handled big-time swings, served a diving jump float, and passed to both pins accurately from her platform. She was camped in all the right spots when Club V attackers showed tip early, helping CRU score in transition.

Strong is a multi-sport athlete from West Valley Yakima, and she showed she could hang with any defender in the state as a freshman libero at the state tournament last year. The 2027 defender is gritty and knows how to make plays on huge swings and tips, and shots to the corners.

No Limits 17 had a nice run in the recent NWPL in Auburn. Strong played a big part playing up in age, her solid passing and tremendous work from the service line helped her squad post a 3-3 record against competitive teams. One thing to avoid is loading up as an attacker and trying to hit a rocket through Strong at the libero. She is too solid, tough and skilled to let a big swing throw her off her game. The West Valley Yakima 2027 prospect plays low to the ground, and can handle dive after dive for tips and keep coming back for more.
