Her efforts in the classroom yielded an Academic All-District selection as well.
What they're saying about Judkins
SFA head coach Debbie Humphreys | "Emery is an extremely dynamic athlete with a great arm swing. She is capable of playing on either pin and definitely has the capability to terminate. We have no doubt she will develop into a solid blocker as well and will be a great addition to the SFA volleyball family. We are excited to be the coaches who get to help her take her game to the next level."
Midway High School head coach Ryan Porter | "Emery was a major contributor to our offense as an outside hitter and her ability to put away a ball is impressive and fun to watch. Her explosive athletic ability allows her to control the net, making her hard to stop. We are looking forward to watching Emery's development as a collegiate athlete."
