Continuity and cohesion are certainly working in Atascocita’s favor heading into August. While other programs may naturally fluctuate from one cycle to the next, AHS still appears to be trending upward.
Last fall saw the Eagles (27-8) soar to their third straight undefeated district championship, sweep Deer Park in the opening round, and later see their run was cut short by Ridge Point in a five-set Area Round battle. Suffice it to say, coach Madeline Odom and company will be plenty motivated to reassert themselves as regional contenders.
Alabama recruit Jordan Morrow returns to lead the charge for Atascocita after surpassing 400 kills, 300 digs, and 350 serve receptions en route to District Offensive Player of the Year accolades. She’s joined on the front line by first-team all-district pick Tahlia Parker (Fairfield University), another senior who recorded just under 300 kills.
Sophomore Samaria Williams emerged as a reliable presence in the middle, finishing with 140 kills and 74 blocks to earn Newcomer of the Year recognition. Senior Kate Brady and Peyton Fisher, both honorable mention picks, will also rotate in on offense, while junior setter Kynzie Keo (second-team) ignites the attack from the back row.
