Ponte Vedra's senior middle blocker Zeta Washington is the Florida Times-Union player of the year in girls volleyball, shown in portrait Wednesday, Dec. 21, 2022 at Ponte Vedra High School. A two-time player of the year and two-time state champion, she has signed to play college volleyball at the University of Cincinnati. "For me it's the competition on the other side of the net (that drives me). We were able to travel to Omaha, Nebraska this year and play the number one team in the nation and being up against 6' 3" and 6' 4" girls and having a double or triple block on me the whole time I think it really pushed me beyond my boundaries." Washington said. "I think it really gave me a challenge and made me want to improve my game even more because that's what I'll be facing when I get to college." (Corey Perrine/Florida Times-Union)
