Crane’s high school coach Lori Mau said, “She was a great player in high school.  She was one that was very versatile. She could do a lot of things.  She had control in back row. She very athletic, quick to the ball and works hard.  She was a hitter in high school, but we relied on her defense, so that was a bigger part on our team than the hitting part of it.”
