After an explosive fall with Clarkston, Henry has managed to continue her upward momentum with L2. Her blocking has been steadfast while her range offensively is ever growing.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"> Liliana Smith - Michigan Elite</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Throw her in as a setter or throw her in to hit, Liliana Smith is one of those kids that will get the job done. Setter by default, Smith thrives in tight situations and takes on a whole new meaning to running an offense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='156302' first='Finley' last='Helm'] - Five:1</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This player really had a huge junior campaign with Mount Pleasant in the fall and she is continuing to showcase serious upward trajectory throughout the club season. [player_tooltip player_id='156302' first='Finley' last='Helm'], at 5'9, flies off of the court and can bring a lot of muscle onto the ball. She leads Five:1's 17 Black squad in attacking and defensively.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='224604' first='Katerina' last='Stout'] - Michigan Elite</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A part of one of the top teams in the country for the 17s division, [player_tooltip player_id='224604' first='Katerina' last='Stout'] has been emerging as a serious commodity at the net. A ‘stout' blocker, her game too is growing immensely. She continues to find her footing as she grows in the game and is becoming more and more of a weapon. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='553153' first='Audrey' last='Ball'] - Five:1 </h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This player is showing off quite the range throughout the club season. A left handed bomber, [player_tooltip player_id='553153' first='Audrey' last='Ball'] is mostly seen in the middle though. A rarity for the game, but she does well with this nuance. Not only can Ball score with the best of them, she's an incredible blocker.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
