COACH GRAYSTONE SAYS
"Jessica made some big improvements last spring with her strength and conditioning, adding a couple of inches to her vertical jump and noticeably putting more heat on the ball. Jessica is one of the most complete players in the Lone Star Conference, and we will rely heavily on her to pass, serve, play great defense, put up a strong block and to lead the team in kills almost every night."
