[player_tooltip player_id='198240' first='Cara' last='Riley'] - ECV(*pictured) At 5'2, Riley has the ability to make a big impact on the court through her role as a libero. She is quick and stays engaged well throughout point flow to make plays. She is patient and efficient in her serve receive movement with ability to cover a lot of court throughout all first-tough opportunities. She earned nearly eight digs per match for Gilmour Academy this past fall and currently plays for teamECV 17-1.   [player_tooltip player_id='521590' first='Jessa' last='Randall'] - AVC A member of AVC's 17 White squad, Randall jumped on the radar after her recent play over President's Day weekend. A 6'0 middle, she has a great presence at the net defensively as she reads the situation well to get herself into good position to put a lot of pressure on opposing hitters. This is evidenced by the 111 total blocks she earned for Revere over the recent high school season. She is fluid in her movement around the setter offensively especially at the right pin off one or two feet when hitting.   [player_tooltip player_id='151982' first='Camille' last='Burton'] - CVA Burton has good skills as a two-way player on the right side. As a setter, she has good size for this position if given the opportunity to distribute and lead the offense when in the front row. As she also can take effective swings at the right pin, any activity as a front row setter utilizes her skill set well. For Milford during the high school season, she finished top-10 in total assists in the ECC at 475 on the season. She competes for top 17U squad at [program_tooltip program_id='507899' first='Cincinnati' last='Volleyball Academy']   [player_tooltip player_id='445114' first='Liah' last='Harris'] - Elite Harris continues to improve the quality of her offense that includes point scoring contributions through varied attack points as a middle. She has the ability to move the ball around for range that complements her physical tools in her quickness and lift off the floor. The combination of this allows her to put good pressure on the defense when she is on time and tempo in the air. At 2.0 k/s, she was a key factor for Hilliard Darby during the high school season. She currently completes for Elite 17 Blue.   [player_tooltip player_id='237143' first='Ava' last='Strange'] - NKYVC A 5'9 opposite, Strange competes for NKYVC 17-Tide. The lefty opposite can develop good arm speed when swinging, which helped her McNicholas team this past high school season as they made a deep run in the postseason. She can find success through different attack points behind the setter while also having good court awareness to move the ball around with power and off-speed action. She and her team next compete at the Pioneer Region bid tournament.
