<img class="wp-image-494608" style="width: 150px" src="https://prepdig.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2023/12/970-KylieEmma-Obeto.jpg" alt="">   [player_tooltip player_id='491446' first='KylieEmma' last='Obeto'] | [program_tooltip program_id='430850' first='Toledo' last='Volleyball Club']   TVC 16 Black The top seed in this event overall TVC is proving early this club season to be a major threat when they take the court. We have highlighted a few athletes from this team following their recent Central Zone success including setter [player_tooltip player_id='261337' first='Hayden' last='Rodriguez'] along with the big arms of [player_tooltip player_id='227830' first='Mallory' last='Pike'] and [player_tooltip player_id='403527' first='Leah' last='Pike']. All are some of the most noticeable contributors when you watch this team compete. Rodriguez is dynamic in her floor direction and distribution as the Pikes are two of her primary options that can score in bunches when they are in rhythm. Other contributors deserved some attention as well.   Pin hitter [player_tooltip player_id='403536' first='Katie' last='Pahl'] is 5'11 and capable of high value point scoring of her own. The Perrysburg product earned over two kills per set with a big left arm that can terminate well from both sides of the court.   Middle [player_tooltip player_id='491446' first='KylieEmma' last='Obeto'] is an athlete to keep an eye on. She is on our 2026 Watch List and will certainly find her way into our rankings through at the next cycle. Her opportunity to play in a highly competitive and well trained environment should help her elevate her ability to use her physical tools with much greater return. Obeto has a high ceiling. She is quick and can get off the floor fast through middle tempo options.   If you have not seen this team play yet, you're in for a treat. <img class="wp-image-510967" style="width: 150px" src="https://prepdig.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2022/12/Madison-Kyle1-crop-1974x1297-1687287699-crop-785x515-1708008239.jpg" alt="">   [player_tooltip player_id='227624' first='Madison' last='Kyle'] | [program_tooltip program_id='431827' first='Elevation' last='']   [program_tooltip program_id='431827' first='Elevation' last=''] 16 Renfro The #9 seed overall and [program_tooltip program_id='431827' first='Elevation' last='']'s second 16U team, this group has some prospects with skills worthy of being part of any club's top team.   [player_tooltip player_id='227624' first='Madison' last='Kyle'] has continued to develop her presence as a DS/L while competing through a lot of opportunity in the ECC through her first two high school seasons. She was a 2nd team all-league honoree after leading the league with nearly 450 total digs.   [player_tooltip player_id='227616' first='Josie' last='Nichols'] was also a 2nd team ECC selection from Loveland after a season of highlights showcasing her athleticism and ability to take big swings. At 5'10, she earned 3.4 k/s to lead Loveland while raising her stock as an a primary offensive factor at the left pin.   Reesa Zimmerman brings some of the best length for this team at 6'1 and with tools to contact high and swing with good range. At nearly 3.0 k/s, she led Batesville (IN) to a 24-8 overall record. Keep an eye on her.   [player_tooltip player_id='222621' first='Ava' last='McIntyre'], a right side lefty, brings great energy, improved impact, and great experience following her high school team's (Kings) state title run.   This team has good balance of presence and impact from various roles around the floor and has an opportunity this weekend to finish among the top teams.
