Ray has made significant strides since I saw her during her sophomore season at Cedar Rapids Prairie. She’s playing with more confidence and consistency these days. She delivers the ball where her hitters like it, and the lefty adds hitting and blocking ability on the right side. Her serve shows nice movement, and she follows it up with a good foundation in the back row.

Like her classmate Wazac, Ray continues getting better and more consistent, which is especially true with her setting. Her offerings are crisp and precise. She’s not a one-trick pony, either, holding up very well in the back row for a team that uses two setters.

One of the better sophomores in the state, Ray performs like a veteran despite her relative inexperience on the high school level. The lefty fires off serves with movement and pace. She sets up teammates where they can deliver and disguises where she’s delivering the ball with expertise that puts the defense on its heals. The arrow is pointing up here.
