What we expect to see this weekend: Taylor covering significant floor and extending plays in fast-paced Open competition.

I’ve been banging the drum for Taylor to receive more attention along the recruiting trail for quite some time. From watching her start as a sophomore in one of the state’s top programs to shining in club last year to helping win a 5A title in November, Taylor has been as steady as they come in the back row. Long arms and sharp reflexes highlight a complete skill set in the jersey. The Waukee Northwest junior has taken another step forward during club ball this winter, as we can see from watching her highlights. Come for the kicked ball over the net, soccer style, stay for cat-like quickness throughout. Taylor is technically sound, sees the court well, has a keen understanding of the game and is a vocal leader. She’ll reward the coach that gains her college commitment.
