<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Only two weeks after the Prep Dig Resolution tournament, the Quad Cities Clash is set to take place this weekend. Teams will be traveling from several states to compete in this tournament and it looks to be incredibly competitive. Here is a breakdown of the Badger Region teams competing in the 15/16 division of the Quad Cities Clash</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">1W Bay 15 Mizuno </span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This 1W team is very well rounded. Libero <strong>Nadia Roemer</strong> has a solid platform and is a great talker and leader on the court. Setter <strong>Madelynn Kreider</strong> (MI) has good ball control and places the ball well for her hitters. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="122467" first="Brynn" last="Frappier"]</strong> is a pin hitter with a huge vertical and a ton of potential to earn points for this team and lefty right side <strong>Madison York</strong> has a lot of height and a good snap on the ball. She was a go-to hitter at the Prep Dig Resolution tournament and will likely continue to be throughout the season. </span></p>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Madison United 15 Red</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This is a talented team that should have some great competition this weekend. Setter <strong>McKenna Oetzman</strong> played every set of her freshman season as a varsity athlete and clocked in 180 assists. <strong>Jaydnn Gruner</strong> is a dynamic hitter who can hit well across the net. She finds smart spots and is efficient on the court. <strong>Adison Hamele</strong> is a middle blocker who puts up a solid and consistent block. </span></p>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Madison United 16 Red</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This team has huge energy on the court. Even when playing a match that ran two hours behind at 10 PM on Sunday night at Badger Region Power League, they were consistent, competitive, and energetic. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="119400" first="Carizma" last="Muth"]</strong> is a six rotation outside with a lot to offer. She has a great platform and makes great adjustments on serve receive and defense. She also has a powerful swing. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="119420" first="Taia" last="Hodgkinson"]</strong> is a powerful middle blocker with great court awareness. Defenders <strong>Payton Maly</strong> and <strong>Julia Trias</strong> both made huge saves and put up good balls on serve receive.</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">RVA G14 Navy</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This RVA team has a solid foundation and good movement on the court. At the Prep Dig Resolution Tournament, they only dropped one match and played at a very competitive level the entire weekend. </span></p>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">RVA G16 Navy </span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">RVA has some very solid teams this year, and this is one of them. <strong>Cayce Farrell</strong> is a leader on the court and a very consistent setter. She is always learning and improving her entire game whether it is serving, defense, setting, or anything else. Pin hitters <strong>Elle Haddon</strong> and Claire <strong>Nesemann</strong> have a lot of potential as six rotation outsides and will earn a lot of points for this team. </span></p>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Wisconsin Ice 15 Purple</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This Ice team will be a force to be reckoned with.<strong> [player_tooltip player_id="122519" first="London" last="Metropulos"]</strong> is a 6’0” lefty pin hitter who is versatile and has a fast arm swing. She is powerful and can really pound the ball when she connects with her setters. Setter <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="122507" first="Paige" last="Guld"]</strong> is fast and strong. She has the ability to run any tempo of offense and has a great foundation. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="122472" first="Ashlyn" last="Barwick"]</strong> is a defender who has speed and a consistent platform. She is a big talker and leader on the court. Middle blocker <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="122522" first="Aaliyah" last="Krenn"]</strong> is a strong blocker and gets a lot of touches off the block. She can play and be effective anywhere on the net. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">These teams should be super competitive this weekend and will be fun to watch at the Quad Cities Clash.</span></p>
