2024 Top Performers at Licking Summer Camp-Farmington

<p>With a lot of volleyball being played at club nationals and summer ball picking up for high school, I’ve been able to watch some summer camps. Yesterday Licking Team camp was held at several locations around Farmington, and I got to preview some teams. Farmington took out South Iron and Valle Catholic 25-16, 25-14 to win the top bracket. Here are some top performers for the 2024 Farmington Licking Team camp recruits.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>69. [player_tooltip player_id="170032" first="Ava" last="Penuel"] – 5’8" – Setter/Outside – Fredericktown</strong></p> <p>Penuel is one part of a setter/outside combo for the Black cats this season. After a fantastic sophomore year where she would finish 2^nd in both kill and assists, look for Ava to be more offensively this year. Great hands, quickness, and a high volleyball IQ make her a solid JUCO recruit.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>NR. Ade Wieler – 5’7" – Outside – Valle Catholic</strong></p> <p>Another long line of gritty players for the Warriors, Wieler looks to be the go-to player this year, trying to lead Valle back to a third straight final four. Smart player with a solid vertical, quick arm swing and reads the ball well defensively. She’s another undersized player that should be a big JUCO recruit.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>NR. Sydney Woods – 5’2" – Libero – Lesterville</strong></p> <p>Little sparkplug will help the Bearcat’s backcourt this year. Look for Woods to scoop up a ton of hits this year. She was a significant factor in the camp, moving to the libero position and immediately making a significant impact with more practice and comfort with the position.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>NR. Taylor Lorenz – 5’6" – Setter – Arcadia Valley</strong></p> <p>Returning to run the offense for the Tigers will be Taylor Lorenz. Nice hands, high volleyball IQ, and a floor leader will look to get the Tigers back to .500% this year. With several hitting options to feed, look for her assists total to increase from last year’s 546.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>63. [player_tooltip player_id="168909" first="Anna" last="Parker"] – 5’4" – Libero – South Iron </strong></p> <p>A primary passer and a key returning defender, look for Parker to control the backcourt more this year with all the experience gained from last year. As a sophomore libero for the Panthers, she helped guide them to their first final four and a fourth-place finish. A quick libero and solid passer will help make the Panthers one of Class 1 top teams.</p>
