The 6-foot-4 junior outside hitter led the Raiders to a 40-1 record, the Class 7A state championship and a No. 1 national ranking according to PrepVolleyball.com. Gonzales amassed 558 kills, 222 digs, 37 blocks and 31 service aces. The Class 7A Player of the Year, she was named an All-American by MaxPreps and FloVolleyball, and was selected for the national ALL-USA Second Team.
Gonzales has maintained a 3.92 GPA in the classroom. She will begin her senior year of high school this fall.
A devoted member of her church community, Gonzales has volunteered locally assisting the elderly and coaching youth volleyball players. “Gonzales is a six-rotation player who contributes both on offense and defense,” said Greg Hodge, head coach at Lassiter High. “When her team needed a big point, I always expected her to get the next swing. She was the leader of a team that finished the season ranked No. 1 in the country.”
