, an opposite and outside hitter from Newbury Park High School, thrives in the role she describes as sometimes being “like a trash can,” where the ball is thrown her way in less-than-ideal situations and she is expected to finish the play. She embraces that challenge, finding smart solutions such as tipping to corners, hitting deep, tooling off hands, and recycling the ball. She makes it a priority to maximize every good contact her teammates provide, especially off strong passes, digs, or sets. In high-pressure moments, she stays aggressive, uses positive self-talk, and visualizes the open spots she can attack to force opponents to earn their points.
Sara has focused on deliberately hitting off hands to avoid getting stalled by bigger blocks. She brings a stable, calm presence to the court, pairing composure with intentional play. “I always want to use good contacts by my teammates to the fullest,” she said. Off the court, she enjoys baking and spending time with her cats. ~ Michelle Bamford @Coachable247

earned MVP honors at the SoCal PrepDig Stock Up Showcase for her smart, calculated offensive play and steady court presence. A lefty pin hitter selected by Coach Emily Foster, Sara embraces the gritty, high-pressure role of an opposite where you’re often handed tough balls and expected to make something happen. She thrives in those moments, using her volleyball IQ to tip to corners, aim for deep zones, or tool the block to extend plays and give her team another chance.
In pressure situations, Sara stays aggressive without being reckless. She uses visualization, positive self-talk, and deliberate routines to stay composed and competitive. She’s been focused on hitting off hands more strategically, especially when facing taller blocks, and she maximizes the value of every good contact her teammates give her. Off the court, Sara brings a calm and thoughtful demeanor, described as stable and intentional with her decisions.
Fun Fact: when she’s not competing, she’s likely baking something sweet…with a cat nearby. ~ Michelle Bamford @Coachable247
