Players to Watch
Bennett Berryman, 5-6, libero, Sr.
The reigning District 3-5A Defensive MVP is back as a valuable leader for the Lady Rebels. Last season, Berryman showed how good a defensive player she was averaging 13.5 digs per match.
Berkley Harper, 5-9, middle blocker, Sr.
Harper is a player that presents problems in the middle for the opponents. Offensively, she was a menace last season averaging over five kills per game and was strong on the block for Tascosa. For her efforts, Harper was a first-team All-District selection last year.
Gabbie Mason, 5-8, outside hitter, Sr.
Mason is a player that can do it all for the Lady Rebels. On the offensive side, Mason paced a very good offense averaging 5.8 kills a night. Defensively, the first team All-District selection did her part hitting the floor for 10.4 digs a contest.
