Grafton has the defensive skills to play as a DS/L and is athletic and long enough to provide solid swings from the OH spot. She has done both for a talented Aspire NW 16 squad in the early season, providing excellent passing and defense in the back row when she has played as a three rotation backrow sub. Grafton proved how impactful she can be on the outside as an attacker during the school season, lighting up teams for Kelso- including rival Prairie to the tune of 18 kills.
