THE RED & GREEN: Lewis, Jones take over leadership role for No. 14 The Woodlands
THE WOODLANDS ADVANCED TO ITS FIRST STATE TOURNAMENT APPEARANCE SINCE 2017 LAST YEAR WHEN THE LADY HIGHLANDERS DEFEATED BRIDGELAND 3-0 TO WIN THE REGION II CHAMPIONSHIP.
The Woodlands fell in the State Semifinals and finished the year 43-10 overall.
Ella Lewis returns to The Woodlands rotation after registering a team-leading 494 kills a year ago. Lewis also chipped in 367 digs. Lewis did that in her sophomore season and with last year’s squad being senior heavy, coach Teri Wade is going to look towards her for leadership in 2023.
Sophie Jones is another name to take note of after racking up a team-leading 111 blocks in 2022 to go with 136 kills.
This team has a lot of pieces and production to replace but look to Lewis and Jones to be the leaders of this group in 2023. Watch out for Brooke Jones (setter), Payton Stroud (setter) and Cameron McDaniel (DS) to play larger roles this season.
