Five Class Of ’25s From Team Pineapple

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Club rosters are starting to be regularly posted online, and they're easier to find these days (that is, WHEN they're posted). Here are five athletes from three different rosters at [program_tooltip program_id='430155' first='Team' last='Pineapple'] that look to solidify their recruiting goals this spring.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">17/18 Black</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A mixture of multiple classes highlights most of the rosters I saw on TP's website. For this particular roster (the equivalent of 18-2?), ball control is the phrase best describing this squad. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='444540' first='Lily' last='Mummert'] ('25, 5-10 S, Homestead)</strong> can run a 5-1 with her length being her strength. She locates the ball well, is deceptive when going over on two, and is consistent in her tempo. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='195149' first='Kylie' last='Yoder'] ('25, 5-6 DS/L, Westview)</strong> is an exceptional defender that plays left back in club and middle back in high school. She anticipates well, is willing to hit the floor to do the dirty work others won't do, and is fast on her feet. Her compact and quick nature makes her a great candidate to be a three-rotation Division I DS right now.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">17/18 Green</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Tough from multiple positions and multiple skill sets, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='496100' first='Kennedy' last='Hutton'] ('25, 5-6 DS/L, Garrett)</strong> is a left back in high school that could probably play all three defensive positions at the next level. She's tough from behind the service line as well, and is always in the right spot on defense. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='496102' first='Marleena' last='Armstrong'] ('25, 5-10 MB/RS, Prairie Heights)</strong> is long and lean, with an attack touch higher than expected from an athlete under six feet. I'd like to see a quicker arm swing to go along with that high attack touch, but for now, that can be trained both on the court and in the weight room.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">17 Green</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The lone 17s team listed on [program_tooltip program_id='430155' first='Team' last='Pineapple']'s website has yet another defender worth watching. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='496104' first='Kaley' last='Timmer'] ('25, 5-6 DS/L, Carroll)</strong> comes from a winning program in high school and can defend with the best of them. She's already used to playing higher level ball at this age, so the speed of the game won't be an issue for her. I like her calm platform despite the pacing of the ball, all while making the pass or dig easier for her setter to handle.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
