Kendall Antell Kendall Antell 5'6" | DS/L San Tan Charter | 2027 State AZ ‘s energy was evident the moment she walked into the gym. She arrived locked in and prepared, quickly standing out as one of the first athletes stretching and getting ready—it really showed professionalism and natural leadership. That mindset carried seamlessly into her play throughout the showcase.

Kendall served as a true anchor in the back row, consistently setting the tone with elite ball control and relentless effort. Her serve receive was calm, accurate, and dependable, routinely putting her setters in system and allowing the offense to operate at a great tempo. Defensively, she read hitters exceptionally well, anticipating attacks and positioning herself early to extend rallies. Her presence brought stability, confidence, and team first demeanor show that she is going to have a long career ahead of her.

Kendall is having a great season for San Tan Charter and is averaging over 4.7 digs per set. She has stepped into the libero well this season and is a big contributor for the Roadrunners.

One of my favorite parts about Kendall and her game is her elite ability to track hitters and read where the ball is going. She has amazing footwork and always seems to have good balance to take a hard driven down ball and react and get to the tipped ball as well. She takes the seams well and commands the back row with her leadership and vocal call outs.

In serve receive teams try their best to avoid Kendall as she is a top level passer this year. You can tell she does well reading the serve early and moving her feet to the ball before it even crosses the net. It doesn’t matter the serve speed or trajectory, she always maintains good balance and form through the pass to deliver that ball on target. She is in the running for region defensive player of the year and has a chance to make the all conference team.

Overall, she has not only shown she is one of the best 2A liberos, but one of the best small school liberos out there. We look forward to seeing Kendall continue this form as San Tan heads into the playoffs and continue her all star form.
