Class 4A Feature Athlete (Sept. 15)

Name: Alexa Chapla
High School: Baldwin
Grade: 12
Position: Outside Hitter

Background Info: This is Alexa’s third year as a starter. The previous two years she has been our libero, but this year her role has changed and she’s hitting outside. She remains one of our primary passers and never leaves the court. Last season Alexa was voted second team all section and second team Big 56. Alexa plans on pursuing physical therapy at St. Francis University next year where she may tryout for the volleyball team as a walk-on.

Quotes from Baldwin coach Chris Kelly: "Even though Alexa might be a little small to swing outside, at 5-foot4, she is developing into a very smart hitter. She’s finding ways to get kills by using the block and hitting open spots. Her willingness to switch positions for her senior year says a lot about what a leader and team player she is."
