She lists at 5’11” but when she stands on the court with her other teammates she appears a little shorter. Early in the season when they played Scarlett they used her as a left side. With Emerson Wolfe Emerson Wolfe 5'11" | OH/RS Academy of the Holy Cross | 2028 State VA and Raquel Telly Raquel Telly 6'0" | OH/RS Georgetown Day | 2029 State VA on the roster that left Metro with three players for two positions.

For this tournament Scarlett has been hitting right side. With Carolyn Maria Carolyn Maria 6'1" | S/RS Bishop O'Connell | 2029 State VA setting a 5/1 Scarlett stays in the back row to take advantage of her ability to power three meter sets.

In the third set against Skyline, Metro found themselves down 9-12. Against a team with their talent all they needed to do was play side out volleyball to win the match.

Skyline hit a ball out to give the serve to Metro. Aniston Williams Aniston Williams 6'0" | MB Holy Cross | 2029 State VA put up one of her many crucial blocks to make it 11-12. After a Skyline kill down the line Aniston got the serve back banging the ball off the middle block for a point. At this stage Metro could not play side out volleyball. Scarlett took care of that rifling a spike off the Skyline block to tie it 13-13. A Raquel Telly Raquel Telly 6'0" | OH/RS Georgetown Day | 2029 State VA kill gave Metro their first lead of the set since 7-6. Scarlett then does what she does best with a cross court kill to the middle of the floor for a 15-13 win.

Of course, none of these actions could happen without the incredible defense of Jaylin Park Jaylin Park 5'6" | DS/L Reservoir | 2028 State VA . She found a number of different ways of stopping the Skyline missiles from hitting the floor allowing rallies to continue.

There are times when I take height into account. Last year, or at least when the 2029 rankings came out Scarlett was 5’9″. She was a setter/right side for Maryland Juniors. While her setting was nice it did not stand out as much as her hitting. However, because she was “only” 5’9″ perhaps she should stick to setting.

With Annapolis Area Christian she moved to left side. Only now she lists at 5’11. That is significant. And a move to play for Metro. If Metro travel and hitting left side she would make that team much stronger.

But until I see official rosters I don’t like to assume. We shall see how the season plays out. Moving from 3 to 2 is a significant jump in the rankings for any player.
