Expert Analysis

The Mountain View senior will play at Santa Monica College next season, a 2-year school that is a 10 minute ride from the Santa Monica Beach. Gamby was a Co-MVP of the GSHL 3A League in her last year, playing both setter and the opposite position. The key to Gamby’s game is her fire, athleticism and defensive ability no matter what position she plays. The Corsairs posted a 22-8 record last season before falling in the SoCal Regional Final.

Gamby was a fun player to watch during the showcase. While she has great hands and can set impressively, she can also jump high and has a hammer of an arm. During the showcase, Gamby was constantly cheering on and hyping up other athletes, a sign of an excellent teammate and all-around athlete.

It will be interesting to see where Gamby’s versatile skill set lands her position-wise collegiately. She has the hands to set and can go against the flow comfortably or push a ball to the pin. However, when coaches watch her defensive ability to cover hitters, go skidding across the floor with abandon to pick up a tip combined with her fiery personality- it’s easy to project a future libero. In either case you will have a dynamic athlete that can set and play gritty defense, an awesome combo for the setter or libero spot.

Gambey is a fireplug to watch play. She was a major contributor to the Excel 17 Lux team’s success in every aspect of the game. Running a 6-2, she stayed in to play across the front row as an attacker. Although only 5’7”, she has a hammer of an arm and a decent vertical jump, so she contributed offensively.
