[player_tooltip player_id='289166' first='Finley' last='Sparks'] - OH | A2 Sparks has a fluid quality to her game as a left side attacker. She transitions well off the net to prepare her approach work that often gets her feet to the ball well to allow her to take big swings. She maximizes her 5'9 frame and has good arm work to drive the ball through the full range of the court. She has a career average of 2.5 kills per set after two varsity seasons with Oletangy. She competes with Advancement Academy 16 Green.   [player_tooltip player_id='289174' first='Adelyn' last='Figley'] - OH Figley is 5'10 but looks to have a longer frame as she moves around the court. She has good six-rotation skills and produces offensively with good footwork and contact point at the tape with the ability to hit a range of shots wrist-away, down the line, or versus the top of the block. The Crestview product was a team leader offensively at 3.1 kills per set as they won their league title and advanced to the state semifinal round in Division IV. She competes for Summit of Fort Wayne, Indiana.   [player_tooltip player_id='151975' first='Maggie' last='Rolwing'] - RS | A2 At 6'0, Rolwing has good length that combines well with versatility and experience playing in the middle and at the right side pin. She averaged 2.2 kills per set for New Albany earning 175 kills on the season leading them offensively. She also made a major impact on the defensive side leading them with 75 total blocks for an average of 3.1 b/m. She competes for Advancement Academy 16 Green this club season.   [player_tooltip player_id='218156' first='Chloe' last='Smith'] - OH | AVC (*pictured) Smith has big upside to her game with potential to be a dynamic and physical attacker on the left side. She has good athleticism that is a big part of her profile as a prospect. At 5'10, she gets off the floor well and does good work to be able to contact at a high point. Over two varsity seasons for Holy Name she has a career average of 3.8 kills per set as she has terminated 572 total kills. Look for her with AVC 16 White this club season.   [player_tooltip player_id='289165' first='Evelyn' last='Brown'] - MH | A2 The Bloom-Carroll product moves through her middle hitter tasks with good efficiency as she gets off the net quickly to make herself available and without much wasted movement or effort. She creates a high elbow contact to help her get on top of the ball through various attack points around the setter. With 226 total kills for the season this past fall, she averaged 2.8 kills per set while hitting for a solid efficiency at .374. She also competes with Advancement Academy 16 Green.
