Continue ReadingIt is one of the biggest tournaments of the season. Where all the heavy weights come to fight. The Mid-East Qualifiers in downtown Indianapolis will host some of the country’s most premier volleyball talent.
The 18s division is full of studs ranging across the country. A lot of these players have committed to play their ball at the next level, with other’s still looking for a landing spot.
Here are some of the top players to watch out for in the 18 Open.
Brooklyn Conner (2022) | 6’2 MB | MVA
This middle blocker’s game has developed quite nicely over the last year or so. Brooklyn Conner is one of the top middle blockers coming out of the state of Michigan and taking her ball to Clemson in the fall. She’s a wall at the net and lethal on the slide.
Katie Debs (2022) | 6’3 MB | 1st Alliance
Another middle blocker with a lot of upside coming into the Mid-East Qualifiers, Katie Debs is an imposing blocker at the net. Great footwork and press over the net, it’s a surprise to see Debs is yet to commit where she’ll take her game in the fall.
Abby Schaefer (2022) | 5’8 L | NKYVC
Taking her game to Western Kentucky in the fall, Abby Schaefer is going to elevate whatever team she is on. Schaefer has great defensive reads throughout the back court and holds up very well as a passer.
Grace Schneider (2022) | 5’11 OH | MKE Sting
Another uncalled for player in this stacked division, Grace Schneider would be a great pick up for any team looking for an outside hitter in the fall. Schneider has great shot range and has a great pass to ensure a first ball side-out.
Josie Nobbe (2022) | 6’0 OH | Circle City
Another great pin to grab quick before she’s gone is Josie Nobbe out of Circle City. A very competent attacker, Nobbe can not only with range in her shots, but she can crank the ball wherever she is. Nobbe sees the block well and can create great scoring opportunities when out of system.
