Cy Ranch’s dynamic libero was very active on the backcourt, getting several touches. Weirdly, she was a target for many of Bridgeland’s servers, but handled the vast majority of them well, keeping her team in system for most of the time. Hooper was also very efficient on defense, getting several digs and generating transition plays for the Mustangs. She was huge for her team in the game-winning point, making a beautiful out-of-system set for Porter to score.

A defensive dynamo, Hooper is among the fastest-rising liberos in the Houston area. She got significant playing time with her strong Cypress Ranch team during the last high school season and was extremely active, contributing to the team’s success. Hooper is very determined and aggressive with her defensive moves, exploding for the ball in a very impactful way. She also reads the game very well and has excellent ball control, making very difficult digs. Capable of defending both the middle and left positions, Hooper is also a strong sever, who can get some runs going from the service line.
