Milan (Cece) Sayles
Milan (Cece) Sayles
As her friends called her “Cece”, Milan is an athletic 6’4″ middle with a bright future. The ability to move from pin to pin is stupendous, obviously her height makes it difficult for other players to pass her block but it’s her talent reading the attackers that really make the difference. Offensively, she is strong attacker, with a long arm reach and powerful swing. A must watch for class 2026!
Amelia Colon
Amelia Colon
Amelia is top-notch Libero, since the first glance of her playing was evident that I was looking to an elite defensive player. Her presence on the court is the key to the team defense, she can pass 3’s pretty much on every pass. Amelia has a solid platform and footwork, her out-of-system setting is stunning. In addition, she is a great communicator inside and outside the court.

Elena is clearly a future star in the middle. Currently, she can stop strong attackers on the net and reciprocate with an intimidating middle attack. Her speed moving on and off the net is a medium to fast speed making high contact with the ball effectively placing her attacks deep on the lines.
Stevie Jones
Stevie Jones
The sky is the limit for this player, Stevie battled some of the toughest blocks on day two of the tournament. Regardless of the situation she found herself in, Stevie was extremely clever, hitting the ball and scoring several kills for her team. She was determined to excel offensively and defensively securing several digs on the middle back, scoring aces, and assisting her teammates blocking on the net.
Brook-Lynne George
Brook-Lynne George
A decisive player with abilities necessaries to be great. Brook-Lynne, was an offensive factor during day two assisting her team in front of the net. Her floating serve is quite difficult to receive, resulting in several aces. She assured the back row was covered on the defense, digging several balls from some strong players. A must follow.
