20 12.31.2017 SCHOOL: Springdale Har-Ber CLASS: Sophomore HEIGHT: 5-9 POSITION: Setter/Hitter THE SCOOP: Williams ran the show at the setter position for the Lady Wildcats, who finished second in the tough 7A-West conference and as Class 7A state runner-up. … The 5-foot-9 sophomore was all-conference and also named to the all-state tournament team. … She became more of an offensive threat on the right side late in the season in addition to her setting duties. … Williams led the team with 877 assists, but also contributed 212 digs, 39 blocks and 45 aces this season. … She finished with a season-best nine kills to help Har-Ber rally past Conway in the state semifinals and eight kills in a five-set, regular-season win over Fayetteville. DID YOU KNOW?: Natalie's sister, Paige, recently finished her freshman season playing volleyball at Ouachita Baptist, while sister, Elizabeth, completed her sophomore season playing for John Brown. Paige finished with 227 kills, which was second on the team and started all 31 matches. COACHSPEAK: "Natalie's kind of a perfectionist with a very high volleyball IQ," Springdale Har-Ber coach Shyrah Schisler said. "She had a good feel for who to set and where to set them and when. I had high expectations for her and I think she had high expectations for herself. "By the end of the season, she was really helping us more offensively as a hitter on the right side and she really blossomed as a blocker, too. She's so coachable, she didn't really miss a beat." — Paul Boyd • @NWAPaulb 705 West Meadow Street, Springdale, AR www.siscofuneral.com 479-751-4577 Plan today.
