SKEVA 15 and 16 Blue: Players to know

<p>Another club, Southern Kentucky Elite Volleyball Organization, which is located in Bowling Green, KY, has some impressive talent. Here’s a look at their 15 and 16 Blue players to know! </p> <p><strong>Kendall Simmons-</strong> From South Warren High School, Kendall Simmons was a star sophomore setter for the JV team. She will likely start for the varsity team next year as their senior setter, [player_tooltip player_id="68102" first="Sydney" last="Clayton"], will graduate in the spring. Simmons will be the 16 Blue setter for the 2020 season and will be a fun player to watch. Yes, her hands are very smooth and quick, but one of her best talents is being able to run a tempo offense. Simmons can be offensive at the net while also effectively spreading the ball around to every position. This is just the start of Kendall’s great success. Keep an eye out for this 2023 recruit! </p> [caption id="attachment_118639" align="alignright" width="193"]<img class=" wp-image-118639" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pd/uploads/2020/12/Screen-Shot-2020-12-04-at-10.58.54-PM-294x300.png" alt="" width="193" height="197" /> Photo: Molly Morton: #10, Instagram[/caption] <p><strong>Molly Morton-</strong> Another 16 Blue player, Molly Morton, was a key for the Bowling Green High School Purples. As a sophomore defensive specialist, she gradually earned a starting spot for the varsity team. Molly has quiet platform which allows her to put the ball wherever she wants, but she also has a good sense of volleyball knowledge 101. She does make those diving, insane plays, but one of the skills she’s best at is making the tiny plays. Taking care of the ball when it’s supposed to target and never letting her team down. Morton will be a great addition to the 16 Blue team and a fantastic 2023 recruit! </p> <p><strong>Emma Loiars-</strong> A 2022 recruit from Greenwood High School, Emma Loiars was a solid player all year long in the front and back row. She filled in for senior, Liz Herman, on the right side but also made a huge impact in the back row with 101 digs. A huge part of Loiars game is her aggressive, float serve where she racked up the most aces on the team with 38! Loiars will be a six rotation outside for the 17 Blue team because of her smart hitting skills in the front row and strong consistency in the back row. Her mind makes her a great player, and she’s someone you don’t want off the floor. Be sure to watch this girl in action! </p> [caption id="attachment_118640" align="alignleft" width="146"]<img class=" wp-image-118640" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pd/uploads/2020/12/Screen-Shot-2020-12-04-at-10.59.19-PM-260x300.png" alt="" width="146" height="169" /> Photo: Megan Gore: #3, Instagram[/caption] <p><strong>Megan Gore-</strong> Also from Greenwood High School, Megan Gore is a 2022 recruit who was a complete star for her school team. She placed 8th in top assists in the state with 445, averaging 9.97 a set. Earning all-district and all-region honors, Megan Gore proved herself to be an integral part of the squad. Gore has a great feel for the ball setting-wise and knows how to run a quick tempo out to the pin. Plus, she can go up and be offensive if needed. Her skills will be a huge asset for the 17 Blue team this 2020 season! </p>
