Alabama started in the middle of August, so the totals below are smaller than the ones coming out of Texas and Mississippi and they describe the same amount of work. A player with 180 kills three weeks in is on the same pace as a player with 350 who started a month earlier.

Below, 16 players from around Alabama producing for their respective high schools.

Natalie Maxwell MB/MH Spanish Fort

Spanish Fort is 13-1 and ranked second in Alabama. Maxwell leads the Toros in kills with 102, in kills per set at 3.2, in hitting percentage at a ridiculous .548 and in blocks with 14. Four categories, and .548 is the highest hitting percentage we have verified anywhere in Alabama.

Cailyn Boykin S Spanish Fort

The senior setting that team has 378 assists and leads it in aces with 21. The next Toro has 12 assists.

Delaney Duncan MH/OH Spanish Fort

A sophomore hitting .509, second on the roster, with 98 digs and 130 receptions, first on the team in both. A middle leading her program in passing is not a normal line.
