The Gatorade Company, in collaboration with USA Today High School Sports, made the announcement Dec. 12. Davis is Charlotte Latin's first Gatorade Player of the Year for volleyball.

The 6-foot-2 outside hitter had 654 kills, 379 digs, 76 aces and 47 blocks on a Hawk team that went 38-1 and won the N.C. Independent Schools Athletic Association 3A state championship for the ninth year in a row.

Davis signed to play with N.C. State next year.

Davis was also selected as an American Volleyball Coaches Association Under Armour First-Team All-American. According to Charlotte Latin's Ellen Kazura, Davis and Latin coach Suzie Pignetti were on the way to Louisville for the All-American volleyball match when the announcement was made. Pignetti was named AVCA National Coach of the Year.

"Eve Davis is a complete package," Nation Ford High head coach Carrie Christian said in a statement. "She is a strong and consistent passer and a dynamic hitter. She not only swings hard, she also places the ball well and uses various shots which make her incredibly hard to defend."
