“Bella” is a powerhouse! Her repetitive clean fast lethal swing may only be outdone by the enthusiasm and leadership she produces on the court. A very magnetic player that draws attention to not only her plentiful talent on display but also her genuine love and passion for the game! A strong left hitter, who can cut the ball to repeatedly rack up kills with an excellent read of the court and play. Bella is fast to dig, pass, block, and bring those hits often and successfully with a boatload of athleticism and timing. She is a source of power and skill to be reckoned with and her support for her teammates on the court and sidelines stood out! What an amazing player, we didn’t want to stop watching her!
Gabriella Zwerner
Gabriella Zwerner
Gabby is a huge contributor to her team, the other player on this team I couldn’t take my eyes off of! With enthusiasm off the charts and skill to match it’s these core players that hold the team together and Gabby is just that. Her block carries excellent height and reach with perfect technique powered by perfect footwork along the net. She gets on top of the ball to hit with what seems like an effortless snapping swing, but packs a strong punch felt by the opponent and produces kills often to that back corner placed perfectly. With a quick tip and many cleverly placed balls, she utilizes excellent ball control and displays her craftiness. She commits to the dig, and her teammates on the court to keep the ball in play. Her attitude and talents make her a standout on the team and on any court. Remember her name!
Cassidy Fridinger
Cassidy Fridinger
With excellent hands we were enamored by Cassidy, we witnessed multiple perfect backsets over and over from this talented setter. An uber-effective setter who positions herself quickly to make perfect floating sets to the middle and outside with great timing and accuracy, Cassidy makes the hitters’ job easy. She never tipped her hand to plays and would dump for the point sneakily, but you could see the excellent relationship she had to the hitters and communicated well to her team. A good IQ of the play and those lofty sets along with a consistent net-skimming serve make Cassidy a valuable asset in this position, and we were thoroughly impressed.
CeCe Lawson
CeCe Lawson
CeCe is an athletic player with a super foundation in skills which she has honed correctly. She has excellent height in blocking with good timing and excellent reach over the net. She can transition quickly to set herself up for a quick kill with a nice clean swing and good ball control and placement showing good court IQ. She has a great presence on the court and effectively serves aces, blocks, and hits with great control and accuracy. She has fast reactions on the court and is an all-around athlete we look to see more of. This is one player to keep tabs on for sure!
Allison Mulry
Allison Mulry
Allison is a hitting machine, she possesses a good strong swing that she pulls up repeatedly. She hits well from either side and doesn’t need the perfect set to show the strength and tenacity she shows completing her kills. She can hit well off the net and has an excellent approach with correct footing and superb arm swing to give her good height to get on top of the ball for repeated hits adding a nice cut to get those points. She is an enthusiastic player who plays well with the setter and has excellent ball placement finding the weak/open spot. She commits to getting the ball hustling and is a team player who communicates well with her teammates. She has a lot of tools in her toolbox and is a consummate player already!
Talent was plentiful at the JVA World Challenge in Lexington at the Kentucky Expo Center this past weekend. While we wish we could write up all that impressed us, here are few 15’s that made the cut!
