About Reagan
Expert Analysis
Kyp Harasymowycz | Prep Dig Scout
Reagan is a Munciana-trained DS/L from volleyball blue-blood Cathedral, making her mark as a fleet-footed DS with eyes on wearing the special jersey. Her active feet, combined with a calm platform, make her one of the better serve receivers in this class, and her open-level schedule in club (and tough schedule in high school) allow her the experience to improve those skills daily.

What a gift it must be for Munciana to have both Futa and Ritchie on the same squad! Reagan is a defensive stud who was all over the court during our Stock Up Showcase and she wasn’t just getting balls in the air; she was getting them to target. During the dig, tip, chase drill she stood out to me the most because she never settled on any of the balls; it was clear she wanted to make every ball better. Futa clearly has a high IQ and understands the tendencies of hitters, which allows her to read early and well so she can be in position to make a play on every ball. Like all of the other DSs on this list, she is quick and can cover a ton of area whether digging high with her hands or laying out to pick up a tip. Cathedral has a dynamo in Reagan, and I am sure she will be making an immediate impact this season with her high IQ and exceptional skills.

Time and again, my fellow scouts were looking for kids that changed the way her side played. Reagan gave us exactly what we wanted—a consistent first contact, a willingness to do the dirty work without accolade, and several outstanding plays that she made look easy. With her active feet, calm platform and ability to pass half the court at any one time, Miss Futa was an easy choice for this author to lead off such a prestigious group. It’s no wonder that she’s a Munciana kid, as her serve reception and passing were second to none on Sunday.

Already making the college camp rounds this summer, we’re blessed to have Reagan make her mark with us at our showcase. Already logging a few digs per set as a three-rotation defender for 3A power Cathedral, Miss Futa was a key cog in Munciana’s 15 Blue machine. Yes, she was mostly a three-rotation DS, but her impact in the short amount of time she was playing had immediate positive returns from service contact to when she subbed out. Scoring points in open-level volleyball is hard. But to do so from behind the baseline, cold, and turning around to make serve receive and floor defense look easy is extremely tough to do. I look forward to seeing how Reagan stacks up with the rest of the DS’s on Sunday.

There is no shortage of strong defensive players on this 15 Open Blue squad and Futa will certainly uphold that standard with her play. This past season at Cathedral she saw the most action of any freshman on the varsity team, playing in 39 sets and tallying up 75 digs to give her 1.9 digs per set, which was third best on the team! She also notched 12 assists in just those 39 sets, proving that she can handle the second ball effectively. It will be fun to see her play alongside the other great young DS’s on this squad!
