The middle is the position families ask us about most and the one that gets recruited on the least information. A middle touches the ball fewer times than anybody on the floor, and two of the three numbers that describe her job, blocking and hitting efficiency, are the two numbers nobody puts in a highlight video. Recently we ran the setters and the back row. This one is for the players in the middle of the net.

Below, 22 two middles and blockers producing for their respective high schools.

Anna Davis MB Burleson TX

Davis has 87 total blocks, the largest block total we have verified at any school in the country this season, and she is not a one category player either. She has 156 kills at a .374 clip, second on a 22-4 roster. The next Elk has 31 blocks, so she is handling nearly three times the net presence of anybody else in her own gym.

Jade Howard MH Hebron Christian GA

Hebron Christian entered the week 17-1, ranked second in Georgia and 51st nationally, and Howard leads the Lions in kills with 145, in kills per set at 3.7, in hitting percentage at a whopping .452 and in blocks with 42. Four categories on a team that has lost once all season. A middle leading a nationally ranked program in raw kills, not just in efficiency, is the line that stops you.

Aviana Mack MB Glenn TX

Mack has 72 total blocks with 113 kills at a .328 clip. The next Grizzly has 22 blocks.

Kloe Stringer MH West Marion MS

The sophomore has 65 blocks, 26 clear of the next Trojan, and she also leads West Marion in aces with 31. Middles almost never lead a team in serving.

Asia Lindsay MB/OPP Jackson Academy MS

Lindsay has 64 blocks and hits .412 for a team that is 23-3 and ranked third in Mississippi. Jackson Academy has two of the four best block totals in the state and both belong to underclassmen on the same front row.

Lorin Bass MB Jackson Academy MS

The other one, and she is a freshman. Bass has 62 blocks, a .425 hitting percentage and 89 kills, second on the roster in efficiency only to a senior having one of the best seasons in the country.

Willow Hatcher MH/MB Kossuth MS

Hatcher has 61 blocks, first on her team by 38, on a .376 clip, with 102 kills. Kossuth is 15-4.

Ama Frimpong MB McKinney Boyd TX

A freshman with 59 blocks, first on a 16-5 roster.

Olivia Tunstall MB Booneville MS

Tunstall has 55 blocks and hits .392, second on the Blue Devils behind a teammate at .405. Booneville has two middles above .390 and is 14-6.

Journie Evans MB Hebron TX

Evans has 54 blocks for a 21-6 team that has captured two tournaments so far, including Volleypalooza.

Marley Rogers MH Hebron TX

Rogers leads the Hawks in hitting percentage at .356, sits second in blocks with 50 and third in kills with 145, and adds 24 aces. Hebron has 104 blocks between two middles.

Lyla Ellison OH/MB Unity Christian GA

Ellison has 49 blocks, 39 aces and a .226 hitting percentage, first on her team in all three. Unity Christian is 3-15, and 49 blocks is 49 blocks.

Buttercup Simmons MH North Atlanta GA

Simmons has 49 blocks and hits .259, both team highs, with 71 kills for an 8-10 team. The next Warrior has 16 blocks.

Kristen Bailey MB Brandon MS

The sophomore leads Brandon in blocks with 47 and in hitting percentage at .416, and she is second in kills with 131. She is hitting more than a hundred points above anyone else on her roster.

Reese McDuffie MB Milton GA

McDuffie has 46 blocks and a .365 hitting percentage for a team that is 18-3 and ranked third in Georgia and 48th nationally. She is a freshman and she is listed at 6-3.

Holly Dufrene RS/OH Cartersville GA

Cartersville is 17-1, first in its region and 77th nationally, and Dufrene leads the Purple Hurricanes in blocks with 44 and sits second in hitting percentage at .381.

Halen Sieks MB Rock Hill TX

Sieks has 43 blocks and the second best hitting percentage on her roster at .279. Nine of the ten categories Rock Hill publishes are led by a freshman, and Sieks holds the tenth.

Kennedy Davis MB/OPP North Forsyth GA

North Forsyth is 17-2, first in its region, sixth in Georgia and 78th nationally, and Davis leads the Raiders in blocks with 42 with 87 kills at a .273 clip.

Natalie Kitts MB/RS Tompkins TX

Kitts is hitting .493 with 160 kills and 31 blocks for a 16-5 team. Efficiency at that volume is the rarest thing on a middle's stat sheet.

Blakely Morris MB/MH/RS Cartersville GA

Morris leads a 17-1 team in hitting percentage at .391 and sits second in blocks with 34.

Leni Hansraj MH Sequoyah GA

Sequoyah is 15-2 and ranked eleventh in Georgia, and Hansraj leads the Chiefs in blocks with 32, in hitting percentage at .301 and in aces with 37 at 0.9 per set. A middle leading her team in serving aces, again.

Shayla Ramsey MH/MB South Effingham GA

Ramsey leads a 15-6 team that is 5-0 in its region in hitting percentage at .333 and in blocks with 28, with 62 kills and 28 aces.
