Sampson’s offensive game plan was as methodical and straightforward as one would expect for a final as she heavily relied on Coleman and Thompson to score. The junior setter did a great job of not overloading her pin hitters and added a great deal of variation, moving them around very often and using many combination plays with each of them, which kept The Woodlands’ blockers guessing. Sampson’s sets were always accurate and she was calm the entire time. She also contributed some digs and did a good job from the service line.

This is a new club in the Houston area, which means she’s working with this group of hitters for the first time, but is quickly adjusting to them. Sampson won the state title with Grand Oaks less than two months ago and had an important role with the team. Her release is very clean and precise and she can set to every location with great precision. Sampson is also an asset on the backcourt, getting several touches on defense and creating problems for opponents with her serving. She always looks very calm on the court and displays a very high volleyball IQ when she needs to make split-second decisions.
