Seanoa is a big swinger who played much bigger than her size. She comes flying in on her approach and puts the ball down with authority. She worked the net offensively and defensively, showing good setting hands and a willingness to call for the ball. Her high reach when attacking is textbook, and she plays with a natural go-hard style. Athletic and gifted, Seanoa looked like one of the most competitive players in the gym. — Kantessa Bryant-Miller @prepdignv

Seanoa Te’o Seanoa Te’o 5'8" | S/OH Sapolu Destined Academy | 2030 CA , a Setter, Opposite, and Outside Hitter from Sapolu Destined Academy, was selected by scout coach Kantessa Bryant-Miller, who praised her as more than just a volleyball player, calling her a true athlete. Seanoa showed no hesitation in demanding the ball, attacking fearlessly at the net, and leaving her mark on every rally she played. Her leadership stood out as she encouraged teammates, kept the energy high, and showed a maturity that elevated those around her. The showcase proved that her presence on the floor is impossible to ignore and that her potential for the future is very bright.

Seanoa entered the event focused on becoming a stronger leader, lifting her teammates in tough moments, and staying consistent in her passion for the game. Her personal goal of improving one percent each day guided her mindset, and the showcase gave her the perfect stage to learn from new coaches, adapt to different teammates, and showcase her competitive fire. She wanted to be remembered for her passion and effort, qualities that defined her throughout the day. Off the court, Seanoa’s fun side shines…she is the oldest of five siblings and sixteen grandchildren, and she loves to dance, even winning a best dancer award. That mix of athleticism, energy, and personality makes her the kind of player coaches will want to keep watching as she grows in the game. ~ Michelle Bamford @Coachable247
