<p>Kylie had a huge presence on the court. Not only did she have beautiful hands in out-of-system plays, but she also had crazy good ball control. She read the court very well and set herself up for success in every play. She was all over the court and kept a lot of tough balls alive.</p>
<h3>Ella O’Neill – Right Side – Attack 15 Select - Illinois</h3>
<p>Ella was very engaged on the court and always ready to put a ball down. She had a ton of power on the pin and was a go-to hitter today. She manufactured a good number of points on the right side and played very well.</p>
