Expert Analysis
Amy VanGuilder | Prep Dig Scout
I think in tense moments, the truly great players are separated from the weak. Leighty proved to be of those great players on Sunday. When college coaches watch games, they are not only looking at a players skills but also their attitudes, communication, and body language. The athletes with poor attitudes will quickly be dismissed (coaches do not want to deal with that) while those that persevere will be the only ones remembered and sought after. Leighty is one that they will not only remember, but will want on their team.
Leighty deserves so much credit and recognition for maintaining her composure and keeping a positive attitude all weekend. She not only did a solid job running the offense for her Xtreme team, but showcased leadership and what a great volleyball player and teammate is.

Leighty had a solid day leading her Xtreme team through the gold bracket. Leighty has quick feet, can track down balls anywhere on the court, and has a knack for finding her middles even when off the net. She also has good court awareness and will implement an array of setter dumps when running a 5-1 offense.

Taryn could be seen running the show at GET this past high school season; a feat that is hard to do as a freshman. Taryn is quick, anticipates the ball well, has great hands, and makes efficient movements to put herself in the right spot to set the ball to her hitters. Taryn will be playing with Xtreme this club season again. We expect this team to be poised to medal at many tournaments this season with her at the helm.
