Vitals: Buchanan, junior

She’s qualified because: A three-year varsity player who’s been the Bears’ No. 1 singles player for the past two, she went 14-2, losing only to Bee Player of the Year Mai Thao of Clovis East and Bullard All-Star Alexis Gonzales.

She said it: “She was a power player with intelligence behind it. The fact she’s a volleyball player helped her quickness and agility. She’s diving for shots, skinning her knees up. Basically, she was an animal on the court, letting nothing get by her.” — Clovis East coach Janine Sodersten
