Club Preview- Tulsa Power Volleyball

Club volleyball is about to kick into high gear here in Oklahoma. Lets take a look at the teams, players, and coaches of some of the best clubs from around the state. We are starting with the newly formed club, Tulsa Power Volleyball. Sheera Sirola is the Club Director, while Darin Thompson is the Associate Director, both formerly part of ClubONE out of Tulsa. Both have had a ton of success in their careers. Sheera Sirola is the former ORU head volleyball coach and now Broken Arrow freshman coach. Darin Thompson has been a volleyball coach at Union Public Schools for 20 years. They have each won regional club championships and taken their teams to Nationals. <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-172989" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pd/uploads/2021/12/TPV-300x107.png" alt="" width="300" height="107" /> This club is in its first year but has plenty of talented coaches and players to get them off to a strong start. They will only have eight teams this first season. Here are the eight teams and their respective coaches. 12-1 Sheera Sirola and Frank Craig 13-1 Shelby Swanson and T Morris 14-1 Kaleb Demark 14-2 Taylan Nero and Darin Thompson 15-1 Sheera Sirola 15-2 T Morris 16-1 Chris Holtz and Kaleb Denmark 17-1 Nikki Cool and Aliana Molinar Lets see a roster of each team with the school each player attends. (12-1) This team is full of kids from very successful school programs. They will open their season with Tulsa Attack this upcoming weekend. Keep an eye out for Lissa Vu and Lainy Shondelmeyer being impact players for this team.

Alexa Clark- Holland Hall Lillian Goetsch- Metro Christian Evelyn Goodwin- Regent Prep Sarah Irick- Union Kenna Layton- Summit Christian Izzy Mathers- Monte Cassino Emmerson Meador- Broken Arrow Laurel Pohlenz- Monte Cassino Naomi Ross- Home School Trinity Scott- Cascia Hall Emma Wilson- Regent Prep   (14-1) This team opened up their season with ORU Early Bird in December. They advanced to the gold bracket and went 2-2 overall. They served strong and did a good job with out of system balls. I look at them being a top 10 team this season in the region. Look for Izzy Hinds and Kenned Walsh to be go to players in big moments. Lilly Boswell- Broken Arrow Jordyn Garner- Broken Arrow Izzy Hinds- Jenks Ava Houde- Monte Cassino Ady Johnson- Sequoyah Claremore Brooklin Meek- Broken Arrow DD Okon- Broken Arrow Kami Tate- Jenks Kenna Taylor- Broken Arrow Samera Troutman- Broken Arrow Kennedy Welsh- Cascia Hall   (14-2) This team also opened with the ORU Early Bird in December. They went 2-3 on the day and got better as the tournament progressed. Players like Ally Thompson and Alyssa Knapper have potential to be stars in high school in the near future. Carly Alexander- Monte Cassino Cati Borchers- Jenks Sydney Caroon- Broken Arrow Alyssa Childress- Broken Arrow Adi Gage- Lincoln Christian Alyssa Knapper- Coweta Isabella Murphy- Jenks Elia Richards- All Saints Catholic Emily Roberts- Bixby Ally Thompson- Union Lizzy Wehrli- Victory Christian (15-1) This team will open their season with Tulsa Attack this upcoming weekend. Look for this team to be a special group. They are mostly a group that played together last season and were dominate at most tournaments. They will play mostly in upper age divisions or national qualifiers in hopes of grabbing a bid to nationals. Multiple of these players are already starting varsity as freshmen. Look for [player_tooltip player_id="156869" first="Kynli" last="Kirkendoll"] and Ava Wilson to be standout front row players. Kirkendoll has a huge vertical and Wilson is a tall Lefty that can put some pop on the ball. Kyndal Carolina will be a defensive monster just as she was for the Jenks Trojans that won the 6A state title. Keeley Bentley- Noah Juliana Borchers- Jenks Arrie Brown- Owasso Kyndal Carolina- Jenks Alison Dotolo- Bishop Kelley Meg goodwin- Regent Laney Hammond- Broken Arrow Lauren Harms- Broken Arrow [player_tooltip player_id="156869" first="Kynli" last="Kirkendoll"]- Jenks Lola Ojo- Jenks Ava Wilson- Broken Arrow   (15-2) This team will open up their season at Tulsa Attack this upcoming weekend. Look for Coach T to help take these players to the next level of their careers. Sarah Scott and Taylor Dixon are hard working players that don’t get rattled easy. They can be big players for the team this season. Bailey Birkenfeld- Owasso Taylor Dixon- Jenks Raegan Essex- Muskogee Andie Ghere- Jenks Hope Mackie- Jenks Barbara Oviedo- Bixby Brooklyn Rhodes- Owasso Frannie Rollandini- Lincoln Christian Sarah Scott- Jenks Alayna Wolfe- Union Parker Zahn- Holland Hall   (16-1) This team will open up their season with Tulsa Attack this upcoming weekend. Keep an eye on Macey Collier and Reagan Holt. Collier can really get in a groove offensively and Holt can really make opposing offenses struggle. [player_tooltip player_id="156858" first="Cameron" last="Anderson"]- Jenks [player_tooltip player_id="156849" first="Kamryn" last="Bacon"]- Jenks Macey Collier- Holland Hall [player_tooltip player_id="156876" first="Chloe" last="Doerr"]- Coweta Cora Hamilton- Broken Arrow Reagan Holt- Broken Arrow Macy LeBeau- Union Lexie Schauffler- Coweta Eva Still- Metro Christian Lauren Treadway- Lincoln Christian Ella willis- Jenks   (17-1) This team opened up at ORU Early Bird and made it all the way to the championship before falling to OK Charge 17UA. 4-2 in the first tournament is something most teams would really like to see. They will head to Redlands Rendezvous this upcoming weekend. Keep an eye out for big plays from [player_tooltip player_id="145974" first="Layla" last="Lenex"] and Brooke Goen. Jaycee Garrett-Regent Prep Brooke Goen- Bishop Kelley Logan Hamilton- Verdigris Kate Hook- Holland Hall Graci Howard- Union [player_tooltip player_id="145999" first="Kendall" last="Johnson"]- BTW [player_tooltip player_id="145974" first="Layla" last="Lenex"]- Sand Springs [player_tooltip player_id="145992" first="Kristen" last="Lewallen"]- Bishop Kelley Kahli O’Neal- Catoosa Mackenzie Thiessen- Union [player_tooltip player_id="145995" first="Raegan" last="Vernon"]- Bixby   This will be a solid club out of Tulsa that will likely be in most gold brackets. We look forward to getting the season underway and covering the upcoming tournaments.
