<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='391353' first='Brynn' last='Minter']</strong> | 5'11" | 2026 | OH/OPP | Los Alamitos High School<br>Showing signs of the popular swing offense in the 1980s, [player_tooltip player_id='391353' first='Brynn' last='Minter'] rounds out her approach very well. This can open her up to many options with speed and timing of her attack. When she hits the ball, she reaches to what would be 2 o'clock on on a wall clock. This distance from her body opens up a cross court shot showcasing her strength. Additionally, she can rotate the ball back across her body. Minter has great patience before hitting and watches the play develop to make sure her approach will line up with the set.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='469702' first='Ashley' last='Repetti']</strong> | 5'11" | 2025 | OH/OPP | Los Alamitos High School <br>[player_tooltip player_id='469702' first='Ashley' last='Repetti'] does something while in the air that really can only be done if learned. She slows her arm down with great coordination to adjust to the set or blockers in front of her. As much as she can slow her arm down, she does get to wherever the ball is set. Repetti does not wait for the any ball to go across her body. When playing on defense, she appears comfortable contacting the ball high. But when the hit is low, she performs the dig very routinely. With a quick reaction, she unexpectedly prevents a lot of balls from hitting the ground. Don't blink your eyes when she is digging.</p>

<p><strong>Elon Milroy</strong> | 6'0" | 2024 | MB | Los Alamitos High School<br>The long strides of Elon Milroy generates momentum into her approach. When hitting near an antenna, she uses that momentum to get long driving attacks. Occasionally, Milroy will contact underneath the ball and hit up with spin so smooth that it somehow rolls down to the defense without a touch. When hitting in the middle, the ball and entire attack motion is done quick. As a defense adjusts to her, she is crafty and find opens space. Look for her and the two outsides mentioned above to lead the stats for the Griffins.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='366843' first='Molly' last='LaBreche'] </strong>| 5"9" | 2024 | L | Palos Verdes High School <br>The serve at me confidence with out too much outward expression of it is the best part of the game of [player_tooltip player_id='366843' first='Molly' last='LaBreche']. She trusts her skills and regardless of any play she is ready for the next one. When on defense, she patrols, watches, and waits for the just the right time to make a move to the ball. Her contact point is high on her platform giving her the results a setter loves. That is a high settable ball. </p>

<p><strong>Daniela Rusich </strong>| 6'0" | 2024 | MB | Palos Verdes High School <br>Getting up in the air quick to challenge the blockers speed is an excellent attribute of the game of Daniel Rusich. Her quickness is one thing, but her discipline to watch the pass is incredible. She knows just when and where to be often before blockers realize she is even hitting. Based on where the set and blockers are, Rusich has great range in, around, over, and through the block. She reaches a height of the second white on then antenna and has solid, strong arms in from of her. Keep watching for her to lead the Sea Kings in offense and defense. </p>
