“Alex is very deserving of this honor. She’s a fiery competitor, but thoroughly respects her opponents and the game. She’s hands-down the best setter in the state and is also an offensive threat. Her defensive game is solid, especially for a setter, she serves tough and with intentionality and she’s a great teammate.”

The 5-foot-11 senior setter led the Hawks to a 25-6 record and a fourth straight Class 4A state title this past season.

She also put down 123 kills on the strength of a .440 hitting percentage. Ranked as the nation’s No. 12 recruit by PrepDig and No. 25 by PrepVolleyball, Bower was the only Idahoan named to the American Volleyball Coaches Association All-American Team and it was as a First Team selection. She was the 2023 Class 4A Player of the Year and the MaxPreps Idaho Player of the Year.
