<p><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Calibri;">For [player_tooltip player_id="50333" first="Kira" last="Buza"] and [player_tooltip player_id="50303" first="Reagan" last="Goeke"] of Legacy Volleyball Club (VBC) 17-1 ADIDAS the dream has been realized and they will be moving on next year to play for Oakland and Pepperdine University’s, respectively.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Calibri;">Those circumstances are the exception as opposed to the rule, though, because even among the most elite of athletes only a small percentage will get the opportunity to compete in the collegiate format. That’s why when individuals reach that level they tend to describe it with terms like, “a dream come true”, and considering the odds against them rarely have truer words ever been said.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Calibri;">When it comes to the individuals that have those lofty aspirations and expectations on the 17U club volleyball circuit, but have yet to sign their names on the dotted line, this includes…</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Calibri;"> </span></p>

<p><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Calibri;">With a resume’ that includes a 109-inch Approach Jump, a 106-inch Block Jump and a 20-inch Vertical the future looks bright for Shaft. At five-foot-nine she’s a member of the class of 2021 and plays for Attack VBC 17U National-Black in Okemos. Because she also has a Wingspan of 69-inches, a Standing Reach of 86-inches and a Vertical Touch of eight-foot-10 those hopes for collegiate attention are that much more likely.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Calibri;"> </span></p>
