Avery Jackson – Madfrog 16 Green
Jackson stands 5’10 but has good length as a left side attacker. She also brings great athleticism to her role that allows her to do a lot offensively for this team. She gets off the floor quickly and can hammer the ball through a high elbow contact that puts a lot of heat and pressure on the opposing defense. She has good tools to contribute as a six-rotation outside hitter with versatility to score from the right side as well.
Avery Jesewitz – Northern Lights 16-1
Jesewitz is a prospect to keep an eye on through the rest of the club season and as they transition back to the high school season. She trains in good competitive environments and continues to show development in her ability to contribute with six-rotation potential. She is 6-3, which can create match up challenges at the net given her length as a pin attacker. With increased foot and arm speed she will become a bigger factor for her team and raise her stock.
Ava Utterback – Circle City 16 Purple
A high flyer at a 10’ approach touch, Utterback is the key catalyst for this team that recently won the Show Me Qualifier in Kansas City. To compliment her elevation, she has arm speed that can generate great power and pace. She is a complete package and can score points in bunches from the left side. She and her team open the event seeded #1.
Fiona VanDyke – Mavs KC 16-1
This is another team that could be in the mix to finish at the top at this event. VanDyke is a steady contributor on the left side on both sides of the ball. She may not be the biggest jumper or bring the most pace but what she might lack there she makes up for in her consistency, competitiveness, and effort, especially in her transition work. This parallels well the arm control she displays when in the air. Her energy on the court is infectious as well.
