JAMES PLAYS A GIANT ROLE

MASSILLON OH- Leigh James has become a cornerstone of Massillon Jackson’s volleyball program as she prepares for her senior season. Her remarkable journey from a novice to a key player in one of the best club teams in the country is a testament to her talent and dedication. As she steps into her final high school year, the Polar Bears are poised for an exciting season with James leading the charge.

It’s hard to believe that Leigh only picked up volleyball as a freshman. Despite her late start, her rapid progress and natural ability have earned her a crucial role on Infinity 17’s, one of the top club teams nationwide. Her meteoric rise in such a short period speaks volumes about her commitment and skill.

Infinity 17’s is a powerhouse, currently ranked 2nd in the Ohio Valley Region (OVR) and 34th nationally. The team is gearing up for a significant challenge, traveling to Las Vegas to compete in the USAV Junior National Championships from July 3rd-6th. With players like James, they are set to make a strong showing on the national stage.

James is also looking ahead to her future beyond high school volleyball. While she hasn’t decided on her collegiate destination yet, her impressive skill set and potential make her an attractive prospect for any college coach. Leigh has the tools and the drive to succeed at the next level, wherever that may be.
