<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As we continue to dive into different clubs we head back over to the west side of the state to look at MVA.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A talented club with a lot of college prospects throughout its program, MVA is eager to prove it compete with the best clubs in the state for 2023.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Starting at the 18s, MVA is highlighted by the top 2024 prospect in Michigan.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2><strong>MVA 18 Black</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"right","id":130426,"width":210,"height":210,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignright size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepdig.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2021/02/79_Gianna-Bender2.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-130426" width="210" height="210" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">[player_tooltip player_id='110279' first='Gianna' last='Bender']</figcaption></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kelly Delacher brings his many years of coaching experience to this squad of athletic and long players. MVA 18 Black features five players that can touch 10 feet or higher.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2024 setter <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='110292' first='Zoey' last='Dood']</strong> (Virginia) is going to be the one running the offense. Dood is a 6'2” setter with a 7'11” reach and a 10'2” jump. She's very quick and has a high court IQ. She really brings the complete package to the position.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>On the outside, MVA has <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='140476' first='Meredith' last='Simmons'] </strong>(Indianapolis), <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='108759' first='Raegan' last='Lantz'] </strong>(Miami-Ohio), <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='66324' first='Shelby' last='Porter'] </strong>(Northern Kentucky) and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='173627' first='Reagan' last='Doctor'] </strong>(Aquinas) all to work with. Lantz, Porter and Doctor are all 6 foot and up and two can touch over 10 feet. They have a lot of explosive power that can run a fast offense off Dood's setting. Simmons is a talented all-around player that doesn't have the same length as her teammates, but makes up for it with consistency and defensive play.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In the middle, <strong>Aubriegh Oswald</strong> and <strong>Maureen Winstanley</strong> add even more height and size to the front row. These two are working hard to make a name for themselves this club season as a pair of uncommitted, yet very talented, middles.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Defense should be a strength for MVA this year as well. 2024 libero <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='110279' first='Gianna' last='Bender'] </strong>is playing up a year to lead the back row. She is coming off a big year at Hudsonville, where she was among the state's dig leaders. She is joined by DS' <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='140477' first='Madi' last='Derby'] </strong>and <strong>Makynna Crook</strong> (Milwaukee SOE).</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Thus far into 2023, MVA 18 Black has been sitting around .500. Their 7<sup>th</sup>-place finish at the JVA Rock ‘N Rumble included all three losses coming in three sets.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It will take some time for this group to gel, but it's clear that they have a very high ceiling. Their offensive firepower is deep and robust. Their defensive talent is very reliable and full of hard-working players. By the end of the club season, look for MVA to pull off some upsets and move up the rankings.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

As we continue to dive into different clubs we head back over to the west side of the state to look at MVA.
