Chesapeake Bid 16 and 17 All Tournament Team

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Thought it would be fun to put together a Chesapeake Regional Bid Qualifier All Tournament Team for the 16s and 17s. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>17s</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["192239"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64266250a1f4c"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Setters - <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='233008' first='Greta' last='Barvick']</strong> (Blue Ridge), <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='235746' first='MacKenzie' last='Calhoun']</strong> (Columbia Academy), <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='309026' first='Lindsay' last='Kelley']</strong> (Maryland Jrs), <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='182753' first='Isabel' last='Ostvig']</strong> (Virginia Jrs)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Left Sides - <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='243771' first='Berkeley' last='Konrady']</strong> (Blue Ridge), <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='180294' first='Kiylah' last='Presley'] </strong>(Paramount), <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='361569' first='Malani' last='Martin']</strong> (Maryland Juniors)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Right Sides - <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='309025' first='Payton' last='Swinton']</strong> (Maryland Juniors)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Middle - <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='242037' first='Ashlynn' last='Spence'] </strong>(Blue Ridge), <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='209795' first='Harlan' last='Wyche']</strong> (Paramount)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Libero - <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='180302' first='Emma' last='White'] </strong>(Blue Ridge)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Defensive Specialist - <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='235747' first='Natalia' last='PeBenito'] </strong>(Columbia Academy)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Metro 17 qualified for Open in the Northeast Qualifier. They did not participate in the Regional Qualifier. This opened it up for new teams and players to shine in the spot light.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Having four setters on the roster could lead to interesting playing time decisions. Greta and Isabel are both strong right side hitters so they could fill that role. Greta also hit left side for her high school team. Isabel is the only player to make this roster who did not play on a team finishing in the top four. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='180294' first='Kiylah' last='Presley']</strong> played middle last year so she could be the third middle if needed. Developing an offense would be interesting since Harlan buried quicks and Ashlynn preferred the higher two sets. The greatest skill a setter can possess is adaptability.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>16s</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["181307"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64266250a1faf"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Setters - <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='181303' first='Isabelle' last='Bardin']</strong> (Metro), <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='238357' first='Claire' last='Mo']</strong> (Paramount)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Left Sides - <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='235282' first='Adriana' last='Perodin']</strong> (Paramount), <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='181302' first='Kennedy' last='Spaid'] </strong>(Blue Ridge), <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='181299' first='Ada' last='McCoy']</strong> (Blue Ridge)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Right Sides - <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='181763' first='Jada' last='Aksu'] </strong>(Metro), <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='235748' first='Ema' last='Djordjevic']</strong> (MVSA)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Middle - <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='181307' first='Leni' last='Stanton-Parker']</strong> (Metro), <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='181309' first='Brianna' last='Holladay']</strong> (Paramount), <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='225187' first='Simone' last='Schaefer']</strong> (Paramount)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Libero - <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='181280' first='Brenna' last='Corbin'] </strong>(Blue Ridge)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Defensive Specialist - <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='238358' first='Evie' last='Huang'] </strong>(Metro)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A lot of players from the class of 2026 in this group, including Claire, Kennedy, Brenna and Evie. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Going from four setters for the 17s to two setters for the 16s is a risk, but both have the ability to run a 5/1 if the other suffered an injury.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The strength of this team would be the pin hitters.
