Defensively she used her height and jumping ability to get up and press over the net putting up a huge wall right in the opposing hitters faces. This Ohio State commit is hard to beat at the net and will continue to be a go to player for this Mintonette team.

Kira Holland Kira Holland 6'0" | OH Medina | 2023 State OH – AVC CLE Rox 17 Red
An offensive leader for this AVC team, scoring from either pin and getting it done when they really needed to score. She was a very valuable player, making herself available to attack through her quick transition and athleticism.
Addie Odon – Southwest 17N TJ
Addie had quick feet and could get to the ball to pass an in system ball making it easy on her setter. She talked to her team and kept the back row running smoothly as well as keeping the energy high. A natural leader and someone any coach would be happy to have on the team.
