Here are some pairs of athletes that should make big contributions for their U16 teams this weekend in Columbus at the President's Day Cup. Cincy Crush 16-1 <ul> <li>Opponents of this team will get a double dose of Julia as Julia Bayliff and Julia Browning do most of their work on the pins. Browning plays a lot on the right side and provides natural power in her arm but can also deliver with offspeed control. As a left side hitter, Bayliff has a stronger skill foundation in her footwork, momentum build, and movement of the ball with her arm at the top of her jump. </li> </ul> Mintonette M.61 National <ul> <li>This squad has some big arms and great athleticism in their offense. Two members that contribute well to their system and point scoring are Callan Kasun and Kayla Dulgar. Kasun handles a lot of their ball control and plays great defense. Her read to reaction is quick and she creates solid angles to put the ball in a good location. Dulgar is the primary setter and has great hands. She is an offensive setter as well, which can make her tough to read and contain.</li> </ul> Mintonette M.62 National <ul> <li>Sophia Weithman and McKenzie Hall are pin duo that can score points. They both have good length at 5'11 and 6'0 respectively. Weithman uses a dynamic approach to open and create heat. Hall can swing for power when on time but also shows good court awareness to use control and finesse to score as well. </li> </ul> Toledo Volleyball Club 16 Black <ul> <li>Kaylee Finnegan has good size as a setter at 5'10. She pursues the ball well and has good touch through varied tempos and locations. One of her best options is in Ava Horn. Horn has good versatility to play middle or at opposite. She has good touch on the ball to tip with purpose in addition to bringing a heavier ball when on time and creating the right space at the net.</li> </ul>
