For the second straight year Santa Fe (Alachua) setter Jalyn Stout has been named the Florida Dairy Farmers Miss Volleyball, which recognizes the best high school volleyball player in Florida.
Stout, the 2021 Florida Miss Volleyball as a junior, led Santa Fe to its second straight Class 4A state title with 563 kills, 368 assists, 245 digs, 55 aces and a .433 hitting percentage.
Santa Fe defeated the Academy of the Holy Names (Tampa) in four sets, 25-13, 21-25, 25-12, 25-14, to win the Class 4A state title. It was the second straight state title for the Raiders (30-2).
“Coach (Eric Marshall) told me this morning, and I didn’t believe it,” Stout said. “I genuinely mean it when I say I couldn’t do half the stuff I’ve done without him. It is hard for me to wrap my head around all of it. I am so grateful.”
In 2021, Stout received nine of the 21 first-place votes to finish with 134 points to win Miss Volleyball after leading the Raiders (29-3) to the Class 4A state title, their first state title in program history.
As a junior, she led the team with 392 kills, along with a team-best 55.8 hitting percentage. She finished second with 393 assists and she also added 236 digs and 33 service aces.
This year, Stout received 12 of the 21 first-place votes to finish with 151 points, which was 40 points ahead of runner-up Jordyn Byrd of Cardinal Mooney (Sarasota), the 3A Player-of-the-Year who has signed with the University of Texas.
The senior, who signed on Wednesday to play volleyball at Coastal Carolina University, becomes only the second athlete to win the award in back-to-back years, joining Tampa Berkeley Prep’s Jordan Burgess (2010-11).
“It feels good,” Marshall said. “I talked to the guy who won it today, a friend of mine. I think he deserved it. He was not the favorite in 7A, and so to be able to do what he did at the end is good coaching. He certainly deserves it.”
Marshall, who was recognized as the top coach in 4A for the second straight year, finished runner-up for overall Coach-of-the-Year in Florida behind Brian Wheatley of Venice.
In five years, Marshall has compiled a 127-30 record, two state titles, and a pair of state runner-up finishes (2018-19).
Wheatley, the Class 7A Coach-of-the-Year, received six of the 21 first-place votes to total 98 points in winning this year’s award.
He led his team to the Class 7A title with a 22-4 record. In 29 years at Venice he has compiled a 699-198 record with six state titles (1998-2005-2012-2014-2017-2022).
Marshall finished a close second this year with five first-place votes and 91 points while Class 6A COY Alvaro Sanchez of New Smyrna Beach was third in the voting with 81 points.
