Club Team Spotlight: OJVA 16-3 White

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The OJVA 16-3 White team has proven very competitive this season. Unsuspecting, as a 3's team, this group has battled with some of the top teams in the 16U region. Last season's 16-3 team finished 32nd in the region, which with no Open division, is a decent finish. However, with an 11-9 record across the Power League tournaments, they had an excellent showing at the final tournament to secure a spot in Flight 1. Heading into Regionals seeded #8, the team is sure to face some tough competition. However, they have proven that they can battle! The head coach of this team is Colorado transplant Nathan May. Assisting him is CEVA and University of Idaho alum Tineke Bierma.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":391638,"_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Josey Edwards","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'9u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"32924","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"St. Paul","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"Oregon Juniors Volleyball Club ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Edwards is an athletic attacker.
