JVA Summerfest: Five 16 Open Prospects to See

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='412607' first='Jessica' last='Kennelly']</strong> - TVC 16 Black<br>Kennelly is the primary libero for one of the best 16U teams in Ohio, a team that won the 16 National OVR bid last month. As this team has big offense, she is very good regarding her connection to point flow and in providing what is needed for her team. Her patience and balance allows her to react well to what she sees, which leads to her quickness to make plays that often get this dynamic offense into good situations to score a lot of points off the depth of their arms. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='212393' first='Milyn' last='Minor']</strong> - [program_tooltip program_id='430852' first='Tri-State' last='Elite'] 16 Blue<br>Minor, the 10th Region Player of the Year in Kentucky, is a dynamic attacker. In evaluating her in the middle, she is a big presence due to her aggressive approach work and arm. She builds momentum well and uses her quickness to get up followed by control and speed through her swing. At 5'10, she can hold her own on both sides of the ball as she can score through a variety of attack points and moves well laterally to get up in front of opposing attackers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='212349' first='Jenna' last='Kitchens']</strong> - NKYVC 16-1<br>Everything about Kitchens' game has upgraded from the past couple of club seasons. As a middle and right side option, her versatility allows her to contribute in a variety of ways although her work at the opposite position is where she seems most comfortable and assertive. At 6'0, she has increased the impact of her combined length and improved skills to further balance this team's effort through both pins and on both sides of the ball. Her attacking footwork and arm are more fluid as well as her ability to establish a big block. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Reesa Zimmerman</strong> - [program_tooltip program_id='431827' first='Elevation' last=''] 16 Renfro<br>The 6'1 Zimmerman is a prospect that has continued to increase her stock over the course of this club season. The Batesville (Indiana) product led her team offensively in 2023 at 2.9 k/s. She has quickness in her footwork but it is her lift and contact point that help highlight her arm speed and control. With a high ceiling to her game, Zimmerman can score at the pin and through the middle, which increases her versatility. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='497817' first='Addyson' last='Kloth']</strong> - OPVC 17 Weaver<br>Kloth is a 5'11 middle with good court awareness and engagement during point flow to make herself available often offensively. She sees the ball well in her transition movement and makes good adjustments in her footwork, spacing, and ability to score through a variety of options. The Lakota West product also sees the defense well when swinging or to use finesse to find space.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
