The 6-0 lefty opposite/setter touches 10-7 and can literally do it all. She set and hit in a 6-2 for Fort Bend Ridge Point High School, finishing the season with a ridiculously impressive statline: 401 kills (hitting .423), 65 aces, 68 blocks (27 solo), 406 digs, and 862 assists.
As you might imagine, the two-time Greater Houston Volleyball Coaches Association Player of the Year and First Team Under Armour High School All-American is the queen of triple-doubles. She’ll be taking her many talents to Kentucky next fall where head coach Craig Skinner with face the enviable task of figuring out how best to utilize her.
“Reagan Rutherford is an extremely versatile volleyball athlete,” Skinner said. “She has played multiple positions, she’s attacker on the right side of the court, she can hit on the left side of the court, she’s also a setter running a 6-2 the last two years. She’s a great floor defender, which is pretty amazing considering the fact that she touches way above the net at 10-7. She can attack line, she can attack crosscourt. She has an amazing passion for the game, studies the game, has incredible instincts for what’s happening.”
