“Lainy has had an unbelievable career over her four years as a starter at Crestview,” said mother and coach Alisha Auer. “She started out as a setter and finished as a six rotation outside who led the state in kills. Her court knowledge and ability to read other teams defense and block make her one of the best hitters I have coached. She has amazing ball control and consistency plays at a very high level. Her 46 kills against Boardman is a record that will last a very long time. ”

According to statistics reported to MaxPreps, Auer ranks first in Ohio in number of kills (648) and eighth in kill percentage (.467). She added 62 aces, 26 blocks and 290 digs for the Rebels who went 22-4 and won an outright Mahoning Valley Athletic Conference Grey Division title.

For her career, Stewart had 1,427 assists which is an average of 8.4 per set played.
