Tawa’s HS national Dream Team of the Week: Another impressive list

Every Wednesday during the high school season, VolleyballMag.com will recognize a Dream Team of volleyball players  who were standouts the weekend before. Most weeks, the eight-girl Dream Team will consist of the following:
Setter
Setter, S/RS or RS
OH
OH
MB
MB
Libero
DS
Players will be considered for Dream Team ONLY if they are nominated by their high school coaches using this link: https://volleyballmag.com/hs-player-of-the-week-submissions/.
Nominations will be solicited by email to high school coaches only on our email list. To sign up, follow this link: https://volleyballmag.com/hs-email-sign-up/

For the second straight week, because we received only 15 nominations and every one was deserving, EVERY PLAYER NOMINATED makes the Dream Team! Once we get to 25 or more nominations, we’ll break it down to Dream Teamers and others who were “Also Considered.”

Note to coaches and directors: while there is no science to how we choose members of our Dream Team, performing on bigger stages will give players an edge, as will nomination forms that describe with specificity how well a player performed the previous week.
