I think that this high school season is going to be big for Reece Harrell Reece Harrell 5'11" | MB/RS Bettendorf | 2027 IA . This middle is a key component of her school’s revival. Bettendorf has been in the shadows of other schools in the MAC, like North Scott, PV, and Assumption. However, some pieces were brought in, and players stepped up, and Harrell was one of those players. With a heavy arm and a monster block, she was a major asset for the Bulldogs. She has also found great success with her Iowa Select team in the 2026 season. Harrell will even be competing in the USA division at the GJNC starting on 6/30.

I was impressed with Harrell when watching her compete for Bettendorf this past season. The junior flashed versatility in being able to help the Bulldogs in the middle and at the opposite pin. It resulted in 57 kills and 46.0 blocks in 74 sets. When watching her again at the 2026 Nike President’s Day Classic in St. Louis, Harrell was rotating through the middle for a Select 17 Mizuno outfit that finished fifth out of 32 teams in the open division. She’s a physical presence at the net with a powerful attack generated from a heavy swing. Long arms help her in that endeavor and in throwing up an effective block. Harrell shows good timing and sharp reads when trying to stop the opposing attack. She looks like a prospect with more potential that will continue reaching for it with more reps.
