Continue ReadingIt is here! The Sunshine Classic National Qualifier tournament held at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida. There will be hundreds of talented teams from across the country competing in this awesome tournament and hundreds of college coaches in attendance. Oklahoma will be well represented with three teams in the 15’s divisions. I am super excited to be there in person to cover these talented ladies. We will have some follow up articles for sure. In this article, we will be previewing some of the players that will be showcasing their abilities in Orlando. They are some of the best players in the 2025 grad class. Let’s meet a few of the talented players who college coaches need to watch.
Oklahoma Peak Performance 15-1
OP2 15-1 will be playing in the 15 USA Division and are the top seed in the entire tournament going in. They are already qualified for Junior Nationals by winning the USA Division of the Salt Lake City National Qualifier and look to double qualify in this tourney. This team is no stranger to success as they are the number one ranked team in the Oklahoma Region. We have previewed them multiple times before and are glad to see them once more in action. They have two major stars in Anna Rice and Livia Ward. This one-two combination is very difficult for anyone to stop. Anna is a superb pin blocker and attacker that will garner lots of respect due to her size and power. Liv is phenomenal running the show as part of the 6-2 offense and doubles as a super efficient and skilled scorer for her squad. They have some other amazing players like middles Georgia Byers and Addison Seefeldt. The other outside scoring threat is Victoria Gray Victoria Gray 5'10" | OH Community Christian | 2024 State OK . Look for this team to be in the Gold Bracket come Sunday.
Tulsa Power 15-1
TPV 15-1 will be playing in the 15 USA Division and are ranked second overall for day one. They currently are ranked second in the Oklahoma Region and have some stars to watch. Setter Mary Goodwin runs the show for this talented bunch. We are very excited to see her in person this weekend. Middle Juliana Borchers and Right Side Ava Wilson are two of their great scoring threats. Meanwhile Libero Kyndal Carolina is the one who steadies the back row and keeps them in-system. We are excited to watch this team in action as the weekend progresses. They have what it takes to be in the running on Sunday. Stay tuned for more on this team as we watch them compete.
Rise 15-1
Rise 15-1 will be playing in the 15 Liberty Division and are coming in ranked as the 4thseed overall. They are currently ranked 3rdin the Oklahoma Region in their age group. Outside Hitter Chesnie Caudill is a solid scorer for them and can rack up points in a hurry. Right Side hitter Abby Fudickar is a great second option and looks to be one of the premier right sides in the region in this age group. Libero Lily Kenworthy is who commands the defense for Rise. They are 19-4 overall on the season and look to add to that win total over the course of these three days. They have a great seed and a solid chance to be in the Gold Bracket on Day three. WE are super excited to watch them compete over the weekend.
I will be in attendance and will try to cover as many players/teams as I can. So far there have been tons of players and parents that have shared their schedules with me on Twitter. There are too many great players to name in this age group, but we will try to cover as many as we can this weekend. Stay tuned to see who plays well and deserves kudos as we will be writing articles on how they perform. I will also be tweeting some live scores and updates over the course of the weekend.
