Hovis delivered her best statistical performance when the Cyclones needed it most. She led Russellville with 17 kills against Morrilton and was a big part of the Cyclones pulling out the five-set win. Back-to-back double-digit kill performances made it a strong week for Hovis.

Like Herring, the next step is improving her efficiency. Hovis handles her share of out-of-system balls and has been aggressive taking swings, so the hitting percentage doesn’t tell the entire story. She isn’t afraid to attack in tough situations. Hovis and Herring give Russellville a pair of pins with the potential to do some real damage as they get into 5A play.
