SCVA 38th Annual Las Vegas Classic: CA Winners

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kansas City was not the sole city gripped by volleyball fervor this weekend. The 38th Annual Las Vegas Classic unfolded at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Nevada, drawing teams from far and wide. While many teams embarked on their first journey to a travel tournament this season, others found themselves amid an unforgettable experience, where every element fell seamlessly into place. Among the throngs of competitors, certain teams stood out for their exceptional skill, unwavering teamwork, and perhaps a hint of luck. Every serve, every rally, every decision on the court wove together to create a narrative of gripping intensity, where missed serves and close referee calls added layers to the drama. Yet, in the end, victory transcended mere skill; it was a testament to the synergy among teammates and the fortuitous twists of fate.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Winning in Vegas, is a feat in itself, but some do. The feat on the court means winning every single match. But it's not just about being good at the game. It's also about dealing with all the feelings and pressures that come with it. Imagine being a player, feeling nervous and excited before each match, knowing everyone expects you to win. And it's not just you out there – your coaches are counting on you, and sometimes even your parents have high hopes. Plus, there's always the unpredictable nature of sports. You never know what might happen during a game. That's what makes it so exciting though. You're always on the edge of your seat, wondering what will happen next.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As the wins add up, teams find themselves under increasing pressure. Those who can keep their composure, minimize mistakes, maintain teamwork, and perhaps benefit from a stroke of luck stand the best chance of winning and potentially claiming a championship. It's not just about being the best players – it's about being the smartest and the toughest, too. This weekend in Vegas, it was not merely about who can outplay, but who can outwit, outlast, and ultimately, outshine the rest.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I present to you…The California Winning Teams…</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[program_tooltip program_id='429333' first='Bakersfield' last='Volleyball Club'] - 18 Premier </h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:image {"id":512232,"width":"481px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepdig.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/02/image_07f2e1.png?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-512232" style="width:481px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Congratulations to the following:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>1 | DS | Mia Sentes<br>4 | MB | Emma Machado<br>6 | MB | [player_tooltip player_id='706383' first='Haiden' last='Arbelo']<br>7 | S | Vienna Perier<br>8 | OH | [player_tooltip player_id='475916' first='Amy' last='Herman']<br>9 | S | Maya Barron<br>10 | OH | Josephine Rausch<br>16 | LB | Ashton Rogers</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Head Coach | Harper Kim<br>Asst Coach | Price Sarah</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">DARTFROG 16 BLACK - 16 Club</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:image {"id":512235,"width":"490px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepdig.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/02/image_e288c0.png?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-512235" style="width:490px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Congratulations to the following:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2 | DS | Brinkley Funkhouser<br>4 | DS | AbigailRose Menta<br>5 | OH | [player_tooltip player_id='534154' first='Olivia' last='Silicz']<br>6 | S | Niyana Dixon<br>7 | S | Lyllah Sapp<br>8 | OH | Sophia Franco<br>9 | DS | Lauren Oberg<br>14 | OH | Addison Carter<br>16 | MB | [player_tooltip player_id='475355' first='Jordan' last='Kennedy']<br>17 | RS | Jaelyn Rosebush<br>19 | OH | Kyla Chilbes</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Head Coach | Katie Gardenhire<br>Asst Coach | Pearl Moore<br>Manager | Dustin Gardenhire</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">MVVC G 15 Red - 15 Premier</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:image {"id":512252,"width":"550px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepdig.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/02/image_7e6f17.png?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-512252" style="width:550px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Congratulations to the following:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>1 | DS | Natalie Chen<br>2 | MB | Syriana Messy<br>3 | DS | Makayla Tran<br>5 | OH | Megan Chiu<br>7 | S | [player_tooltip player_id='531661' first='Brooke' last='Whitesell']<br>9 | OH | Julie Sklyar<br>11 | MB | MollyAnn Caulfield<br>12 | OH | Danielle Miller<br>14 | MB | Katy Eze<br>17 | MB | Anja Covert<br>18 | RS | Payton Grove<br>23 | RS | Nylah Dorsey<br>24 | S | Alyssa Wallace</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Role | Name<br>Head Coach | Rigg Tyler<br>Asst Coach | Rubin Michael<br>Asst Coach | Lyngar Joshua<br>Asst Coach | Everett Alexandria<br>Team Representative | Yuen Will</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
