BEFORE LEHIGH
Lylah is a pin hitter native from San Antonio, hailing from one of the top public schools in the state, Ronald Reagan High School. She made her stint as a four year varsity player memorable by being recognized for multiple All-Tournament awards as well as attaining First Team Texas 27-6A All-District selections in 2018 and 2019. In addition, Lylah also trained and competed for Alamo Volleyball Club. In the classroom, Lylah is a strong student by being inducted into the honor society and participating in student council.
