Terrell continues to display a well-rounded overall game, playing as a six-rotation outside for her WVBA team. WVBA 16 Adidas sports a deep rotation of hitters at the pins, Terrell has shown consistency on offense and defensively to stay on the court. The 2025 prospect will carry her success during the club season into her junior season with Lake Washington.
Highlights
Let’s talk about a couple of dynamic pins from Oregon. Hill is the #10 ranked recruit in the state for the 2025 class. She has a patient approach, keeps the ball in front, and unleashes a super quick swing to terminate. Hill has turned it up as the end of the season has approached, OJVA 16 Gold is now looking for her to finish off matches from both pins and the pipe.
Paulson is a gritty two-way player for Athena 16 Black, she plays defense like a libero and has the athletic ability to get up and rip a kill from the outside. In the back row, she stays out from behind her blockers and reads opposing hitters to anticipate their shots. Her serve receive is rock solid, she can take more than her area and will cut off a serve if she has the better angle to make the pass. With her defense and passing ability Paulson makes any team better.

The do it all player from Seattle Prep has been ripping the ball from the right side for her WVBA 16 team this season. Her defense and passing may be even more impressive, she is strong enough to handle balls easily overhand and delivers in serve receive to keep the offense flowing. She mixes up her swings, hammering away to the deep corner and the line, and Dorscht has the vision to read the blockers and pick the best location to score,

Nowak has always had a strong arm, she has now added a variety of roll and cut shots to her toolbox. This has made her an even more efficient scorer, teams are off balance when she rolls a shot to the deep corner or taps in a soft shot to the middle. Importantly, Nowak has not forgotten about her fastball, she still rises and brings the hammer to terminate. The Glacier Peak outside has shown terrific growth this club season!

Paisley Goings| 5’10| Outside| 2025| 208 17 Elite
We always like to shout out our Idaho prospects, Goings is a rising junior who plays for the Vikings in Couer d’Alene. The 5’10 outside does the hard work of getting her feet to the right spot in transition, then she will adjust to the set and drive the ball down the line or hard off the block. Playing up for the second year in a row, Goings is a major contributor for the 208-17 Elite squad and she is relied upon to score from either pin and the pipe.
