The team emerged with a win over a game Mizuno M1 17-2 team, taking the third 15-1.   [player_tooltip player_id='267682' first='Jayci' last='Scrivens']| 5'9 OH| 2025 Lake Stevens| Scrivens has been playing all out and providing a consistent scoring option as a six-rotation outside for WVBA. She has great energy and confidence attacking as an undersized pin, Scrivens has excellent vision and can find the hole in the block.   [player_tooltip player_id='250401' first='Mia' last='Turner']| 6'0 RS| 2025 Lake Stevens| A right side with a powerful swing and a strong block, Turner has unloaded several highlight kills. The rising junior from later Stevens will be working hard to find her spot on the court with the high powered Vikings this fall.   Renovators 17 Kari. After a difficult pool on day one, the Renovators rallied to take care of business in their first match of the day, taking the two set victory over Advantage 17 Teal, 25-20 and 25-11. Two more tough battles resulted in a 1-2 record on the day, including a 26-28 set against Adversity G17 Adidas.   Jenna Sarff| 5'8 OH| 2024 Post Falls, ID.| Sarff was taking a deep, powerful approach on the right side and blasting away down the line and off the top of the block. The Post Falls Trojan has a great connection with her fellow Trojan, rising senior setter Kylie Munday. The two were working a fast temp back set to score consistently.   <a href="https://www.ncsasports.org/womens-volleyball-recruiting/idaho/post-falls/post-falls-high-school/jenna-sarff">https://www.ncsasports.org/womens-volleyball-recruiting/idaho/post-falls/post-falls-high-school/jenna-sarff</a>   [player_tooltip player_id='266203' first='Araleigh' last='Arnold']| 5'7 Setter| 2025 Ridgeline| Arnold was stepping in as a DS and as a setter when RVC needed the powerful Munday to add her swing to the attack. Arnold will get on the floor to make a tough save, and is steady in serve receive, particularly for a prospect who spends most of her time setting. It's not easy to come in off the bench to deliver a clutch pass or set, Arnold did both on day two.   208 17 Elite   After a 1-2 day with two three-set defeats on day one, 208 ran into tough competition on day two. The team from Idaho and Washington will look to bounce back after an 0-3 day. Matches against FCA Upsate, Elevation 17 Peak and OTVA 17 Omi all had competitive sets, boding well for the teams chances on day three.   [player_tooltip player_id='251545' first='Julianne' last='Hemphill'] OH| 5'8 | 2024 Ridgeline. Hemphill may ultimately end up playing beach, and her skills transfer over nicely to the indoor game. She can poke down a tough set, cut a hard angle and push a shot to the corner. A six-rotation outside, she has the vertical to put up a solid block or slam down an overpass, and plays bigger than her listed height.   [player_tooltip player_id='527864' first='Kyla' last='Ross'] | Setter| 5'6 | 2025 Ridgeline. Another Ridgeline Falcon setter from the class of 2025, Ross and [player_tooltip player_id='266203' first='Araleigh' last='Arnold'] from RVC 17 Kari could be running the high school season together in a 6-2 attack. Ross has quick feet and stays dynamic in her setting, her athleticism lets her run down the second ball and send her attackers a set they can work with out of system.   CPA 17 Drew   The team from Spokane showed some serious mettle, before dropping two matches in three by identical 14-16 scores. Against a Boilers Juniors 17 Elite team headed to USAV Nationals with an open bid, CPA Drew pushed to a 14-12 lead in the third. The Indiana based Boiler Jrs showed their grit fighting off the double match points and coming back for the win. Ultimately, the Tribe 17 Elite Cardinal team from Florida took the top place in the pool, and CPA will need to bounce back on day three.   [player_tooltip player_id='251539' first='Ellie' last='DeAndre'] | Outside| 5'10 | 2024 Lewis and Clark. The rising senior turned it up on day two, battling against taller pins and showing off a variety of hard angle shots, hammers down the line and pounding off the block to score. DeAndre has excellent defensive awareness and does an excellent job pushing through the ball to keep points alive.   MaKayla Hickman | Libero| 5'6 | 2024 Ridgeline. The CPA Drew libero was in the right spot all day long, digging out hard shots in the angle against high level attackers. Hickman has dialed in her second ball passing this club season, she will set with her hands or her platform and delivers a well located ball to keep the offense rolling.
