Surpassing 1,150 kills for her career this season, Garrett repeated her effort from a season ago with just over 400 total kills with a slightly higher average of 5.1 k/s. At 6’0, she is a versatile attacker as Eaton utilizes her in a variety of ways. This season, she has show increased assertiveness with her opportunities in commanding the ball and using her length well to get up and swing with range and some big power. With ability to score at a high rate since she began at Eaton, Garrett sent a message in her final match of the season in the section playoffs as she had a career high 37 kills in a tough 3-2 loss.

Approaching 950 career kills, Garrett (*pictured) is on her 2024 average of 4.7 k/s for Eaton. The Eagles are 7-5 overall as Garrett has seen the most opportunity offensively of anyone on this squad as she 197 kills on 475 swings for a .309 efficiency. Her versatility has been on display as she can swing for kills at the pin as well as move with good quickness in transition to run fast middle options around her setter. Adding over seven digs per match, Garrett also contributes 1.7 b/m to lead the Eagles defensively at the net.

Garrett (pictured) consistently produces from both the middle and the pins in a number of different ways. She does a great job angling her body then her shots over blockers and away from defensive specialists. Her quicks are tough to defend with her quick release. Garrett uses a great approach from the feet up to put power into balls. Garrett puts down overpassed balls with authority.

Although Shandon plays high school volleyball in Ohio, we are certainly going to take our chance to claim her here in Indiana since she plays for Munciana 🙌🏼. Garrett was an all-around standout and leader for her team at Eaton HS, leading the in multiple categories including kills per set (4.7!) and total kills (406), plus she also finished second on the team in total digs, total blocks and hitting percentage. What really struck me while watching Garrett for the first time was how well she sets up the block on the right side; whether the set is inside or outside she doesn’t just go to one spot and block, she adjusts so her middle blocker can close accordingly. The result is a good number of stuffs for both her and Jackson and Mayberry. In terms of attacking, Shandon is efficient, not making a ton of errors, but keeping the ball in play with pace. I look forward to her being more terminal as the season rolls on and she gets in sync with her two setters, and I also want to see her be more aggressive and ready when she is playing off blocker defense.

Garrett (pictured) consistently puts herself in position to make things happen. She has an outstanding swing at the net using her size to her advantage. Garrett also had incredible dives defensively to keep plays alive.

The 6’0 Garrett once again averaged 4.0 k/s or better for Eaton over her first two varsity seasons. With nearly 750 career kills as a sophomore, she is proving to be a prolific power side point scorer. She has good mechanics through her approach patterns and swing with a high elbow that can get up on top of the ball well. When in system and on tempo she can find space and beat net defenders with good power. She has good six-rotations kills as well including a career average of 8.0 digs per match over her high school career.

Garrett is another sophomore that had a terrific freshman season and is producing at a higher rate in year two. As Eaton’s primary offensive threat, she has increased her output to 4.6 k/s. At 6’0, she is developing good contact with a high elbow and at the peak of her lift while maintaining control and range to move the ball around. Garrett’s arm and impact are available anywhere on the court as she can be terminal from the back row as well. Eaton is 7-5 overall.
