is not your typical setter. Yes, she runs the offense with poise and precision, but what separates her from the crowd is her versatility. Her serve receive was outstanding, showing a level of comfort in the back row that most setters simply do not have. Then she got to the right side and that arm swing was a full stop moment. Powerful, clean, and completely unexpected from someone operating primarily as a setter. She can genuinely do it all.
But what may be her biggest asset is everything that happens off the ball. Taylor carries herself with a natural confidence that draws people in without pushing anyone out. She leads without demanding attention, communicates without creating tension, and competes with a level of sportsmanship that coaches at every level look for and rarely find in one package. She is coachable, personable, and the kind of teammate that makes an entire program better just by being in the building.

Taylor Harting, setter for HJV, brings toughness, consistency, and leadership to the court every match. She hustles relentlessly on defense to keep plays alive and does everything she can to put her team in position to succeed. Harting also does a great job pushing her hitters to be aggressive and finish points, helping establish a confident offensive rhythm. Her sets come out clean and controlled, allowing her attackers to trust the tempo and stay comfortable in system. That consistency builds confidence across the court and makes Harting a dependable presence running the offense for HJV.

Harting was another player who stood out in different areas of the game. Splitting her time between setting and hitting duties on the right, the sophomore was also her team’s heart, playing with a lot of passion, but remaining calm in moments of pressure. Harting excelled with her playmaking, distributing the ball intelligently and speeding things up when possible. Her offense was very efficient as she displayed excellent vision to avoid opposing blockers, and the setter also got to contribute on the backcourt, playing solid defense and creating problems for Stratford’s serve-receive with her aggressive floaters.

Miss Harting is currently an unranked prospect in the 2028 class according to our Texas State Rankings. She plays volleyball at Memorial High School and also for the Houston Juniors volleyball club. Tay proved to be a highly skilled setter as she dished the ball pretty evenly to all of her hitters. During the position specific skills session, I loved how she was connecting with the middles who were running quick sets. While some players look great during the position drills and cannot transition those skills to game situations, this was not the case for Taylor. There was no drop off with her delivery during the scrimmages. Her posture during her release looked awesome and that was due to some great footwork as she tracked down the pass/dig from her back row. Her court coach had some very positive things to say about her teamwork and attitude. This speaks volumes since not all of the players knew each other and that makes it tough to compete with chemistry. We loved what we saw from her and will be following her volleyball journey. Please help us congratulate her on earning a Top Performer award at our showcase.

Harting is a setter with Memorial High School and the Houston Juniors club. She has excellent setting hands and is capable of remaining accurate with her locations in all positions. Harting also offers a lot on defense as she does a great job with her positioning at the right back position and has tremendous ball control to deal with hard-driven swings. The setter can also take on hitting duties on the right and relies on her great court vision and impressive wrist to find open spots to put the ball down.
