Coach Brandel-Wilhelm On Barkhaus: "Ally is a quick, agile athlete with a huge skill foundation. Her moves on the court are easy because she has worked so hard to be prepared for her play. She is an attacker in high school and will be competing for the libero position early in her career. She is a fierce competitor with an easy, fun-loving leadership style on the court."
