<p>With one of the most fun events in the year going on this weekend with the Motor City Madness tournament going on in Southeast Michigan, we've decided to double the fun with showcase! We got some great, young talent on tap for Friday night and we're here to preview some you need to know!</p>

<p>Let's take a look at the field of middle blockers coming out to the Motor City Madness showcase!</p>

<h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='487143' first='Emma' last='Underwood'] - 6'0 MB - Kalamazoo Christian/USA Michigan</h4>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>This player can get it done anywhere across the net but her bread and butter belongs in the middle. She's a good sized blocker with a lot of range in her attacking.</p>

<h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='261198' first='Monique' last='Diehl'] - 6'0 MB - Grass Lake/Michigan Elite</h4>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Not only can this middle stand pretty tall amongst the best of blockers, but she can hold her own on the attacking front as well. Diehl has a great vision for the open court and can score at a high rate.</p>

<h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='346405' first='Maezi' last='Snyder'] - 6'2 MB - McCutcheon/Academy</h4>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>I could see this player becoming a big commodity over the next few years. Snyder may be young, but brings a lot of size to the court that takes her a long way. </p>

<h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='261135' first='Clare' last='Beazley'] - 5'11 MB - Saline/HVVC</h4>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Another young pup in the middle that has been seeing a steady stock rise is [player_tooltip player_id='261135' first='Clare' last='Beazley']. A standout for Saline JV, she's also been carrying a heavy load for her team at Huron Valley. </p>

<h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='459245' first='Kate' last='Schneider'] - 6'0 MB - L'Anse Creuse/Crank It</h4>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>I am excited to see this middle live and in action. On tape, she shows a lot of promise from an attacking stand point and her size gives her a lot of upside as a blocker as well!</p>
