COACHES COMMENTS:

Paxton is a very dynamic and disciplined setter.  Continuously playing up in age group up, she has been able to effectively command an offense and display a great deal of maturity for her age.  Her court vision has allowed her to setup her hitter so they have maximum opportunities to terminate on the ball.  She is an extremely aggressive player both offensively and defensively.  Paxton is a very effective setter from all points on the court and in blocking.  She is a setter who is able to adapt to various offensive styles which makes her a great fit for just about any program. Paxton has also helped lead her teams to State Championships and winning Regional bids.  

Paxton is a class of 2013 grad & is unsigned.  Contact mike.roberts@vbvba.net for more info on Paxton.
