Emma Adams | Prep Dig Scout
Previous Rank: 84
Holder has worked her way up the 2025 rankings, flexing her versatility and heart with each season she plays. This past club season, she saw court time as a six-rotation pin hitter with NPJ Portland 18-1 National. Although undersized at 5’6”, she found creative ways to score, tooling the block and working around it with tips and chips. When there was a hole or an open net, she used her impressive leaping abilities and quick arm to hammer the ball into the deep corners. Her natural position would probably be as a defensive specialist, given her steady ball control and relentless pursuits on defense. However, when her high school team needed a setter, she was more than willing to step into this role. Skill aside, the competitive energy and hype for her teammates she brings to the court is always electrifying to watch. Holder has yet to commit to a college program, but will undoubtedly be a great pick-up!

Holder is returning to OJVA after playing for their 15-1 team last season so she came into this club season with a high level of play under her belt. As a utility player she can step into any position and thrive. However, her defensive abilities are at the forefront of her game. She showcases a quick reaction time and is able to keep the team in rallies. When hitting, she has a decent vertical jump, a powerful swing, and is incredibly spart with her placement. Skill aside, she is an intensely positive force on the court, the ultimate hype person for her teammates.
