Avery Bain – 2023 – Middle Blocker – Burrell (PA) – Revolution PGH 17 White
I love the high contact that Bain gets because it shows what a dynamic athlete she is. She is active in her role and plays with great intensity. Bain is physical on both sides of the ball and works hard in transition. She has good timing, spacing, and has great instincts. Bain’s presence puts pressure on the opposing attackers causing errors and chaos on the other side.
Avery Veenendall Avery Veenendall 5'8" | S La Crosse | 2023 State WI – 2023 – Setter – La Crosse Central (WI) – SMV 17-1 Black
Veenendall glides off the net and gets her hands on everything. She is smart and knows when to sneak the ball over for a point. Veenendall gets to every 2nd ball and has great placement for her attackers. She could sell real estate as she clearly lives by the “Location, location, location” as her motto. Opposing defense struggles to keep up with her, and she provides her hitters with a lot of open net opportunities.
2023 Setter Avery Veenendall Avery Veenendall 5'8" | S La Crosse | 2023 State WI (#23) from La Crosse Central and SMV is smooth, accurate, gets every 2nd ball, can block, and smart @ArtofCoachingVB Talent ID@PrepDigWI @PrepDig @PrepDigMN @PrepDigChris pic.twitter.com/0QXW7ZJGg4

Lindsey Whitehouse – 2022 – Pin Hitter – MAVA Adidas 18-Elite (KY)
Whitehouse didn’t hesitate to take big approaches and show off her many attacking tools as she took hard swings around the block and blasted the line. She can elevate and terminate proficiently from either pin because of the torque she creates and has pin-point accuracy. Even in a camp environment, you can tell she is a competitor with experience, and those around her look to her to lead.
Morgan Jones Morgan Jones 6'1" | OH Huntley | 2024 State #116 Nation IL – 2024 – Pin Hitter – Crystal Lake South (IL) – Adversity G16 Adidas
Jones is very athletic, long, and full of potential. She has natural talent along with the strength and physicality to really elevate and hit over most blockers. She is smooth-moving and solid on defense, making her a strong 6-rotation candidate. Jones can and will terminate from either pin while putting the opposing defense into a scramble.
