The stars of 2024-25 Pearland Dawson Volleyball
LIFTOFF: No. 8 Pearland Dawson could be a legit 6A contender
NO. 8 -- PEARLAND DAWSON EAGLES
Head Coach: Lauren Leth
2023: 38-10/Regional Semifinalists
PERENNIAL PLAYOFF CONTENDERS. THAT IS THE SIMPLEST WAY TO DESCRIBE THE EAGLES OF PEARLAND DAWSON.
Lauren Leth has this program churning every single season and with four starters returning off a 38-win team that went four rounds deep in the 2023 postseason, this year should be no different.
First-team, all-district middle blocker Kennedy Jones (Army-commit) returns after being selected for the TGCA All-Star team a year ago. Jones finished with 279 kills, 79 blocks and a .375 hitting percentage.
Also selected to the first-team, all-district was middle blocker Keaton Points (184 kills, 98 blocks, .306 hitting percentage) and defensive specialist Jenna Thedford (451 digs).
Other players to watch include Northwestern State-commit Emmarie McFarland (209 kills, 160 digs) and Isabella Tijerina (218 serving aces).
Keys to success include solid defense, dynamic middles and team chemistry, according to Leth.
