Strengths/Question Marks:  
The core strength is that HH brings back its whole setting and defensive squad. Additionally, young offensive pieces are starting to make an impact from many different locations on the court. HH has a very young attacking core as there are no senior attackers in the group. The only returning starting offensive piece is 2019’s freshman MB Jade Lauzier. Despite that, they look to be a highly competitive attacking team with the pieces they have in place.

 

Outlook: “What many anticipated to be a rebuilding year for HH after losing six seniors with experience and history together including an All-State OH in Cam Wild has seemingly turned out to be anything but. With their core setting and defensive unit intact they bring in a bevy of young, talented attackers. Although not limited to, new players to look out for offensively are Nastya Tetsko, Kayla Jones, Izzy Bombas, Maci Lumpkin, and Ava Santo, all who look to make a splash this year and into the 2021 season. As always, HH Looks to compete in the conference and district+ level in the 2020 season despite all of the challenges we are all incurring daily and are beyond thankful to do what they love in playing volleyball with people they love to do so with.”
