is one very noticeable part of her game. She winds up and hits the ball deep and also has an excellent wrist snap to drop that serve in for points. On the other side, Beshear is not served the ball often and with good reason. As a hitter, she adjusts her body very well to hit a really great thumb down rightside attack. Likewise, she is a disciplined blocker that stays focused on her attacker.
Madison Johnson | MB/OH | Forza1
Madison Johnson is a player with a high reach. At the championships, her team found her to be a go-to hitter. Subsequently, her hits were very consistent. Johnson knows her strengths and how those strengths will score a point for her team. When the set is located other than expected, she continues to find that place on the court where she can score. She also plays with a very happy demeanor that is enjoyable to watch.
Madison Norberg | S | Surfside
A setter with soft hands, like Madison Norberg, opens up a lot of opportunity. When she watches the pass all the way from the passer, she is preparing to allow her natural soft hands to do the work. This trust in her ability allows her to see more of the game and play free. Additionally, Norberg sets with a wide base giving her a solid foundation of strength. She also is a smart setter than is engaged and sets players based on the flow of a match.

, is what you see and what you get. This all starts with an excellent timing step. Specifically, this patience allows her to create a path that clears a runway to hit straight ahead at or through a block. In the times where she needs to make a offspeed attack, she has a great zone 2 to zone 2 push tip. Her long strides will make her an available and effective hitter in transition for years to come.
Morgan Wilson | S | Pipeline
Morgan Wilson plays with an assertive quality that dictates the pace of the game. Specifically, her foot quickness allows her to chase down any pass but she also has great control of her feet to move to the ball in rhythm. This start and stop quickness gives her some control back of that pass coming to her. Wilson is an excellent teammate following the ball to the end and connects well knowing the value of a good high five.

A middle blocker that is very aware at the net is what

brings most to the game. This trait is very important to actively be involved in the offense and to read what hitters to block. Additionally, being so aware allows Stillwell to take many small adjustment steps throughout the rally. She touches a height of the second red on the antenna.
