PLAYERS TO WATCH
Amber Matthews, 6-1, middle blocker, Sr.
The first-team all-district selection and a member of the Press Pass Sports Volleyball Team last season is looking to build on an incredible junior campaign. Filling a big role at the net, the lengthy Matthews was able to power down 318 kills with 128 blocks.
Kambree Gonzalez, 5-2, libero, Sr.
The heart and soul of the Lady Raiders is also their best defensive player. Gonzalez isn’t afraid to hit the floor any time there is an opportunity. Last season, the first-team all-district selection, led the team with 642 digs and was outstanding at the service line with 82 aces.
Chloe Brown, 6-0, outside hitter, Soph.
Brown made a name for herself in a hurry thanks to putting together quite the freshman season. With a powerful swing, Brown made life difficult on defenses night in and night out. Brown, who was named the Newcomer of the Year in the district, led Randall with 435 kills and tacked on an impressive 412 digs.
