Beard is a 6’0 attacker with versatility to play either on the pin or in the middle. She was the best offensive threat for Strongsville in 2023 as she led the Mustangs offensively at 3.1 k/s.

Oletangy | 2027
OH
The 6’0 lefty had a solid first varsity season for Oletangy as a key threat from the right side of the court. She can bring big contact that will increasingly add power and pace as she develops this club season into next fall. She earned 154 total kills for 1.7 k/s for the 16-9 Braves. Her length and position on the right side is a bonus defensively as she was second on the team with 45 total blocks. Look for her this club season with Mintonette’s top 15U squad.

Eaton | 2027

Eaton lost a big arm to graduation following the 2022 season leaving some big offensive shoes to fill. Enter Garrett. The 6’0 pin was terrific in her freshman season leading the Eagles at 4.0 k/s. With a team high 340 kills and .259 efficiency, Garrett established herself as a key threat for the Eagles and in the Southwestern Buckeye league. A 1st team all-league selection, Garrett was second in the league overall offensively as Eaton finished second in the conference standings.

St. Ursula | 2027
OH
This 6’1 pin has a high ceiling to her game. She has great length that will benefit her well as she continues to develop to the speed that is played in the GGCL and among top club and varsity teams across the state and region. As her size will create advantages for her at the net on both sides of the ball, this St. Ursula product should see a lot of offensive opportunities to swing and improve with her TSE club team as they tend to compete through a tough schedule.

Turvey has impact capability from the middle as she uses her length well while also showing good timing and spacing around her setter through quicker tempo options. She contributed well for her high school team in 2023 as she provided 1.4 k/s for a CHCA team that finished second in league play. Some of her best effort came on the defensive side as she led the Eagles at the net with 40 total blocks. Look for her as part of a strong returning core group for
