Hickman (pictured) delivered solid all-around play for the Bees helping them make another state tournament appearance. Hickman pounds balls into the back row into seams with precision on the go routes and does a good job tooling blocks. Hickman even takes sound swings from the back row when Upperman needs a big point. Hickman is also a solid server and passer. Hickman had 450 kills, a .289 hitting percentager, 90 aces, 24 blocks and 289 digs for Upperman this fall.

Hickman is a nice six-rotation player. She goes after balls with great effort and can take big swings from all six positions on the court. The club team is trying to take full advantage of her versatility. Hickman said she’s been working on her shot selections and trying to become more dependable on the court to help Upperman and 17 Black.
