<p><strong>Players to Watch</strong></p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="97238" first="Haedyn" last="Bambolo"] – Outside Hitter – HS: Bothell – 2023</strong></p>
<p>A recent addition to SNVF 18 Waves coming from the Washington Volleyball Academy, [player_tooltip player_id="97238" first="Haedyn" last="Bambolo"] is an outside hitter that brings the fire at the pin. A 6’1” prospect with eye-popping physical tools, she is a more-than-viable scoring option for any team and had a central role in Bothell’s victory in the most recent State Championship, ending the season with 372 kills, 56 aces, 44 blocks, 392 digs and 420 passes. She’s also very good on the backcourt and excels with her consistency.</p>

<p> </p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="97223" first="Aaliyah" last="Lutali"] – Setter – HS: Jackson – 2023</strong></p>
<p>A very technical and creative ball-handler, [player_tooltip player_id="97223" first="Aaliyah" last="Lutali"] is in charge of running SNVF 18 Waves’ offense. The 5’5” setter plays an intelligent and efficient style of volleyball, thriving for her excellent decision-making and consistency in her settings. She’s coming from a prolific high school season with Jackson in which she produced 278 assists, 67 digs and 31 aces.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="97251" first="Arden" last="Caley"] – Right Sider – HS: Skyline – 2023</strong></p>
<p>A long and athletic right sider, Arden Carley brings some size for SNVF 18 Waves at the net standing at 6’2”. She can play on both sides of the net, but is typically deployed on the right, where her offensive skills are more effective. Caley has excellent reach on offense and does a good job in always completing her wrist movement when hitting, assuring the ball won’t land out. She can also put on a big block in front of opposing outside hitters.</p>
