MACARIA SPEARS, PRESTONWOOD CHRISTIAN ACADEMY

The AVCA announced Macaria Spears of Prestonwood (Texas) Christian Academy as the first-ever winner of AVCA Girls High School Player of the Year Award, presented by Nike.

Spears finished the 2024 season with 649 kills (6.2 per set), and her team went 37-2 and won its third-straight TAPPS Class 6A title. The daughter of former NFL lineman Marcus Spears, she played on four state championship-winning teams during her prep career—the last three came in Texas following one title in Virginia in her freshman season.

Four finalists for the award were announced Nov. 20: Spears, Henley Anderson of Dripping Springs High School (TX), Reese Messer of St. James Academy (KS), and Abby Vander Wal of Timothy Christian High School.

The award was presented to Spears today at the AVCA Convention in Louisville, KY, as part of the 2024 AVCA Pro Volleyball Federation All-American/Players of the Year Banquet, presented by Nike.

The 2024 AVCA Girls High School Player of the Year award is presented by Nike.
