MAKING MILESTONES. Achieving 1,000 kills in volleyball is a significant milestone not many reach during their high school career. It helps if you have a passion for the game and can put countless hours in the gym. It's an ability you have to master to consistently deliver powerful hits. Ava Smith has accomplished this as only a junior. Her love for the sport that she shows on the court is incomparable. Ava is a multi-sport athlete, playing basketball in the fall. She is an athlete who you can rely on at all times and is the definition of the player you want on your team. She has many qualities that make her a reliable teammate. Setter, Paige Miller says “I love playing with Ava. She is one of the most hardworking people and she gives good feedback. I know I can always count on her to get out of a tough situation on the court.” Ava Smith is an athlete you will want to continue to watch through the year and an athlete that will continue to bring great success to Valley Heights Athletics.
