Continue ReadingI love getting a sneak peak at high school teams and first I wanted to talk about some of the talented attackers we saw at the Sizzle this year. These players possess exceptional skills and abilities to make the big offensive play. These plays make them a valuable asset to their team.
Pacelli returns its high flying pin, Vaughn. She is a six rotation attacker that explodes from the court. Vaughn is aggressive in her approach and swing until she pulls a deep corner tip or soft rollshot to mix things up.
There aren’t many blockers that can reach as high as Myhre. I enjoy seeing her take big swings on the outside pin but not lose that middle mindset of taking control of the net. Overpasses in her direction don’t stand a chance.
Taylor provides a great deal of variety for the Marshfield squad. She is a really athletic 6 rotation lefty that provides a solid first contact and is always prepared to attack whether she is in the front or backrow. Her different shots keep the opposing defense constantly guessing.
Eastling remained focused and composed even under pressure. As an rising upperclassman she is depended on to maintain and build their team’s confidence. She leads with confidence but also makes smart decisions during critical moments of play.
Bostley is a beast at the net. She fuels and fires up her team by making some really big plays. Bostley packs a lot of power with a heavy arm.
Highlights
Charapata knows how to pack a punch. I saw her slice the ball down the net and then crush the line on the very next swing. She has a great connection with her setter and effective communication with her defenders.
Highlights
Ella is physically strong and has a explosive power when she approaches to the ball. She is a talented attacker that understands the importance of teamwork and communication with her setter. When she clicks with her setter she can put some pace on the ball.
Augedahl has an impressive reach due to her long arms and jumping ability. These allow her to reach above most blockers and make contact at a really high point. Augedahl can run a great slide route as well as provide a big block on the defensive side.
Gunderson is a highly effective attacker that has mastered the technical and strategic aspects of hitting. She is a great communicator and leader with her teammates. They strategize and find ways to exploit the weaknesses of their opponents.
Koning has really come a long way over the past couple years in terms on strength. Her explosive strength allows her to overppower blocker and deliver a terminal attack. Koning is a dominant force on the court and can consistently score points for her team.
Highlights
Wall-Perkins has exceptional court vision and spatial awareness. She sees the open court and does not hesitate to expose it. Wall-Perkins makes big offensive plays but more importantly she drives hard to be available to attack on every play.
Jankowski can read the game and it helps her make split-second decisions to adjust their shot selection accordingly. She takes a heavy swing and can work around the block. On the defensive side she puts up a huge block for the opposing offense.
Highlights
Kobussen has a variety of shots in her arsenal and when she mixes them she demonstrates what a talented attacker she is. She has a great connection with her setter. When the ball makes it out to the outside pin Kobussen can sting the line and deep corner.
