PLAYERS TO WATCH
Berklee Billington, 5-foot-10, outside hitter, Jr.
The Press Pass Sports Newcomer of the Year last season and TGCA All-State selection hopes to have a repeat season of a dominant sophomore campaign for a very talented Bushland Lady Falcons squad. Billington was electric at the net making life difficult for opponents by slamming down 621 kills to go with 343 digs and 71 aces.
Laynee Adams, Bushland, 5-foot-10, outside hitter, Sr.
Following in the footsteps of her older sisters shadows of great athletes, Adams is another hard-hitting mismatch that delivers at the net for Bushland. Adams gives head coach Jason Culpepper depth on the front row and leadership on the floor. Last season, Adams tallied 540 kills on top of 167 digs and 35 blocks.
Morgan Eberly, 5-foot-8, setter, Sr.
Feeding the heavy hitters on the outside is Eberly. The floor general is crucial to making sure the offense is running smooth at all times for the powerful Lady Falcons. Eberly did her job last year by dishing out 714 assists and played defense with 127 digs. She also served strong when asked with 23 aces.
