<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The [program_tooltip program_id='428892' first='[program_tooltip program_id='428892' first='PVA' last='']' last=''] 17-1 club got off to a slow start and it cost them in the first match in 17 Power League play on March 12.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prep Dig scouted [program_tooltip program_id='428892' first='[program_tooltip program_id='428892' first='PVA' last='']' last='']'s two-set loss to Apex Volleyball a club out of Springfield, Missouri. Based on their record it was not one of [program_tooltip program_id='428892' first='[program_tooltip program_id='428892' first='PVA' last='']' last='']'s best matches, but there are players on this squad who can play at the next level including Blue Valley's [player_tooltip player_id='216380' first='Grace' last='Wagers'] who has already committed to Division II program Central Missouri.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here is the third of multiple scouring reports from 17 Power League play in Bel Aire.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='150069' first='Fiona' last='VanDyke'], 6'0”, RS, Free State, ‘24</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>VanDyke looks like a talent that can dominate a game. She finished with seven kills, three digs, four receptions, and two blocks in the 25-20, 25-22 loss to Apex. She is tall and has a big reach. Vandyke hits the ball well and has committed to playing volleyball after dipping her toes in the soccer pool. Watching her for the first time, I project her as a fringe mid-major Division I or a Division II type talent. A big senior season at Free State could determine what opportunities she gets moving forward.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='152837' first='Lauren' last='Croom'], 5'7”, S, Blue Valley Northwest, ‘24</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Croom really impressed in the loss. She had 10 assists, two kills, and two digs in the early Saturday match. She pushes the ball really well to the pin and she has an accurate spot serve. Croom can put the ball in any zone called.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='216378' first='Taryn' last='Marcum'], 5'4”, L, Paola, ‘24</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Marcum had the best defensive match for [program_tooltip program_id='428892' first='[program_tooltip program_id='428892' first='PVA' last='']' last='']. &nbsp;She racked up eight serve receptions and six digs. She makes a nice first pass to set up the system and she lays out for balls to extend plays.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mia Frisbie, 5'11”, &nbsp;MH, Home School, ‘24</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mia Frisbie, an interesting prospect, is currently being home-schooled.
