Ohio 15U GJNC Qualifier: Elevation 15 Tony

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With an 8-0 record at the recent OVR bid event, this team has earned their sport at the national championships this summer. Here are five of their top prospects.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='480801' first='Savanna' last='Stacey']<br>Some of the best point scoring in this Ohio 2027 class comes off of Stacey's arm. We will definitely keep an eye on her development to see if aspects of movement, pace, and power increase given she has earned a lot of recognition already as a very good offensive option through both the recent high school and current club seasons. One of the most impressive facets is her ability to handle serve receive responsibilities with good control, especially if being overloaded in this aspect when also in the front row as a primary attacker.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='480832' first='Kylie' last='George']<br>George may be the most athletic prospect on this squad. At 5'9, she is a primary middle for this team that likes to run their middles often, and rightfully so with George's ability to score. She is explosive with good quickness in her ability to get up and through the arm speed she can create at the top of her lift. As they frequently like to run her through a higher tempo ball in the middle, she has good control of her movement to be able to adjust well based set and defensive factors. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='435871' first='Ali' last='Strange'] (*pictured)<br>Strange is on a current short list of 2027 Ohio liberos regarding big impact and potential to become elite. Her court presence is noticeable through her engagement with her team both between points and during point flow. She prepares well in her balance and is efficient in her movement to pursue the first touch. She was impressive as a 14U last season and through her club switch in 2024 she brings an element to this squad that immediately elevates their potential to win every time they step on the court.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='481208' first='Jillian' last='Turvey']<br>The 6'0 Turvey is a great option in the middle offensively given the range of tools she has to score through quick options in front of the setter and off one foot through a slide attack. She uses her length and contact point well while being able to control the movement of her arm to swing effectively both directions from the middle area of the offense. She has good elevation which displayed well when blocking and she does a great job of getting vertical fast with great hand penetration across the tape.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='480817' first='Kendall' last='Hubbard']<br>One of the current top setters in this 2027 Ohio class, Hubbard does a good job of balancing the distribution of this team's offense, which is a critical pillar to their success. As she has been featured here before, she continues to impress based upon her on command of the floor as a setter as well as with her arm when she has opportunities to swing. Hubbard has great athleticism along with a versatile range of skills that allow her to contribute in so many ways.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
