During our Expo, Emma created a loud and positive environment for all that she came in contact with. As a 6'1" middle, she created a wall of a black for her opponents to go up against and made it challenging for them by lining up perfectly against the hitters. While walking around the gym, I always caught myself stopping to watch her as she brings such great energy to her teams.

With a big vertical and intense approach to the ball, she brings such determination to her contacts and truly tests her opponents.

With the hustle and confidence she has, she is one to be looking out for.

As a sophomore, Jaylyn has been recognized as "player of the match" on her varsity school team and sits at being one of their top hitters and offensive players. With her explosive arm swing and reach, she makes it hard to read her next move as the opponent. Jaylyn stood out at the Expo as she brought her A game and didn't hold back with her performance. Making it challenging for the other team, I enjoyed stopping to watch her as she did a great job switching up her plays to create a strong and competitive environment. She has a strong volleyball knowledge as she was very good at reading the court and seeing where to put the ball, she brought strong communication between her and her setters to make sure she could set herself up for a powerful attack. Jaylyn has been given to title of "Gamechanger" as she came in strong and worked hard to make sure nothing got past her. We are super excited to continue watching her play!

Running DS/L, it was so fun to watch her throughout positional training and game play as she brought such positive energy and had great hustle. During play, Ivy was a strong communicator with her peers and provided great structure to her back row. Ivy is very knowledgable of the game as she held a locked in platform, flowing through the back row, and covering was one of her best assets to whoever she played with. As the Expo went on, Ivy continued to make progress and show out on the court and i enjoyed getting to watch her take control of her back row and stand out. She earned this title of "Gamechanger" and is someone we will continue to watch.

As a middle, Yohe brought so much energy to the court that was contagious all around. With a tricky approach and a fast arm swing, she makes it challenging for the opposing team to guess her next move. She did a great job of changing around her ball and pushing heavy deep corners and quick touches that sped up the game. Creating her fast-paced play, Yohe takes over her court and has a strong knowledge of the game, she reads her block and does great at moving around her block to execute. Sydney earned this title of "Gamechanger" because she is a strong asset to any team she is on and provides strong and structured game. This is a player that we will be keeping a look out for as she continues the game.   [player_tooltip player_id='289655' first='Lauren' last='Garcia'] [2027] 5'11" S/OH (HS: Reagan/Club: [program_tooltip program_id='431050' first='Alamo' last='Volleyball Association']/Verbal: Uncommitted)   Lauren is currently an unranked athlete in our Prep Dig State Rankings but brought the heat for our San Antonio top 250 showcase. Being both an Outside hitter and a Setter, Lauren has a broad knowledge of the game that supports her in various ways. At the showcase she did run as a setter and had very strong and consistent sets that made a statement. Lauren has very clean and quick sets to any position on her side of the net and does a great job communicating to her hitters on their next move. Being a setter with great height and vertical, Lauren had great shots taken of setter dumps that took the other team out of system. When setting, she does a great job of releasing her sets quickly but also doesn't make it too obvious of where she is going as she hides her body language pretty well. Lauren earned her "Gamechanger" title as she brought her A game to the showcase, and I enjoyed stopping to watch her play. She brings great energy, communication, and we can't wait to see how she continues to grow her game.
