Betsy Blanche
Dulaney, hitter
The junior has made tremendous strides from a year ago, improving her ability to finish off kills and honing her powerful jump serve.
Meghan Campbell
Mount Hebron, hitter
A second-team All-Howard County pick a year ago, the 6-foot senior showed strong signs of improvement during the club season.
Liana Farb
Centennial, hitter
The 5-10 left-hander spent most of last season as an outside hitter, but came into her own while sticking exclusively to the right side of the court in the playoffs.
Jamie Huffman
Reservoir, hitter
The 5-9 senior moves back to her natural position of hitter this season after earning first-team All-Howard County honors as a setter a year ago.
Natasha Jensen
Wilde Lake, hitter
The 5-8 outside hitter has a 30-inch vertical leap, and should be even better than a year ago after undergoing offseason back surgery.
Rachel Kuegler
Fallston, hitter
Last year's Harford County Player of the Year was one of the area's strongest hitters as a junior, averaging 2.9 kills per game. She also served at a 92 percent clip.
Brittany Lilley
Severna Park, hitter
Basketball is her main sport, but the 5-9 senior also is one of the most athletic hitters in Anne Arundel County.
Amanda Parry
Catonsville, setter
A returning first-team All-Baltimore County pick, the four-year varsity standout is one of the area's most consistent setters, as well as a 95 percent server.
Bailey Webster
St. Paul's, hitter
Webster, 6-3, dominated around the net, averaging four kills per game last season. She was a finalist for PrepVolleyball.com's National Sophomore of the Year, and was an honorable mention All-American.
Kati Wood
Chesapeake-AA, hitter
The 6-foot, left-handed junior will be the centerpiece of a team that could be the surprise of Anne Arundel County.
