Lyric Judson Lyric Judson 6'0" | MB NE ‘s impact starts at the net, where her blocking presence consistently affects the flow of the game. She does a great job reading the setter and closing quickly, working to seal seams and take away angles. Her hands are active, and she’s beginning to press more effectively, turning blocks into real scoring opportunities.

Offensively, Lyric continues to develop her connection in first tempo, showing improvement in both timing and approach. She stays engaged in transition and is working to become a more consistent option when the pass is there. What stands out is her awareness—she understands where she needs to be and continues to grow into her role. As she builds confidence and expands her offensive routes, her presence at the net will only become more impactful. ~Theresa @prepdigdakotas

Judson is so much more than a hard-hitting middle blocker. She makes excellent defensive reads, can hit on the right side, and even makes backcourt contributions in her serving rotation. 16 Gold allowed this Papio South star to demonstrate her versatility with a wealth of right-side reps at the GPR Bid Tournament. Judson proved she could terminate even when blockers are camped out on her in two-hitter rotations. These contributions will be vital as 16 Gold pivots toward the Show Me Qualifier.

Middle blockers don’t often lead their team’s kill column, but Judson has been defying trends throughout her prep career. She entered last week’s tournament with over three kills per set and remained on that clip as Papio South notched another state title. Judson was even an attacking threat out of the back row in her serving rotation. The electrifying sophomore is ready to lead the next chapter of Titan success in Class A.

We aren’t surprised to find Judson near the top of the list. She had an outstanding debut season with Papillion-La Vista South last season and is only getting stronger in Year 2. Judson has averaged a 0.391 hitting percentage through 16 sets of play, but her positional adaptability has been even more impressive. This dynamic athlete has demonstrated her effectiveness as a middle blocker and a pin hitter, giving Papio South plenty of lineup options to explore this year. Regardless of position, Judson will be a major factor in keeping the Titans at the top of Class A’s hierarchy this year and beyond.

Judson’s repertoire keeps expanding. She started on last year’s Papio South squad and had a tremendous impact at the middle blocker spot. That’s also her primary position with Premier 15 Gold, but that’s not the only role she’s taken on this year. The Show Me Qualifier revealed her willingness to be a six-rotation asset, effectively making Judson a middle-outside hybrid player. She took some first contacts in the back row and even emerged as an out-of-system outlet on the pipe. 15 Gold blurs positional distinctions in its starting lineup and finds success with any personnel. Judson and her team should have high aspirations for Nationals.
