They each add something special to every team they play on. Let’s break down some of the athletes who went from the watch list to being ranked in this update.
Ella is a dominant middle on the court. She is quick and explosive in her movement on offense, defense, and in transition. She has mastered making herself available on every ball that comes over the net. Her quick arm swing and great court vision set her up for success and helped her rack up points. She can swing in front of and behind the setter and is an athlete with near-infinite potential.
Allie is an athlete with massive potential. She played great at the Sizzle and showed her versatility and power. When she connects on a play, her swings find the court, and she is a go-to hitter. Allie was impressive this summer and had a big club season.
Highlights
Lucy is a consistent force out of the back row. She has a clean platform and gets her feet to the ball well. Her scrappiness keeps tough balls alive, and she is reliable for her teammates. Lucy puts up a great out-of-system ball and is disciplined in her defensive movement across the court.
Abby is an explosive athlete who has the potential to be consistently dominant on the court. She impressed me several times during the club season with her ability to terminate and add points to the board. She has a huge vertical and is athletic and competitive in her play.
Kaylie is an athlete on the rise in this class. She is consistent and has very clean hands. She moves the ball around well and can set pin-to-pin from nearly anywhere on the court. She keeps every hitter involved and can run a 5-1. Her blocking is solid and she has great court awareness on tight passes.
Highlights
Ava is incredibly athletic. She is explosive and competitive on the court and brings great intensity to her play. Because she is so smart and dynamic she can manufacture points and adjust well when the sets aren’t quite perfect. She is gritty and has the potential to have a huge high school season this fall.
