Year after year, Ellsworth junior Alexis Moore continues improving and remains a key piece for the Bearcats.
“Alexis loves volleyball,” head coach Amy Johnson said. “She is a talented athlete and has become a strong middle hitter and blocker. She reads the floor well. Alexis’ passion for volleyball really shows when she’s on the court.”
Moore is a middle blocker for the Bearcats, who have a lot of hope for a great season after a season before where they finished .500.
“This season I really want our team to just play to our full potential,” Moore said. “I also want us to be a family. Last season, our team went through many hardships on and off the court, and I want us to be able to play through that and use it to become better individually and as a team. Personally, I want to be the player that the little girls who come to our games look up to, on and off the court.”
Moore has 432 total kills and 134 total blocks throughout her career and will add to that total by a lot after this upcoming season.
“The level of improvement that came between my freshman season and last season and my height and strength also make me standout on the court,” Moore said. “Freshman season I was tall but didn’t have much muscle mass. I started working more in the weight room and pushing myself outside of volleyball season to become what I am now.”
