Battle Ready 16s at Redlands Rendezvous

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Tessa Gilliland</strong>, Setter for Charge 16 American. Tessa and her team were able to finish ahead of their seeding. They were able to make it to the gold bracket quarterfinals before losing to the eventual champions. Tessa's ability to put up a good out of system ball gave her hitters plenty of opportunities to score in not very ideal situations. If her up tempo set consistency can solidify, she can really help this team's offense hum. Look out for this team getting a few upsets this year!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='736660' first='Emma' last='DeArmond'], Right Side for Virago 16-1. Emma provided plenty of consistency this past weekend. Racking up 30 kills and averaging 5 kills a match. She has added the ability to run up tempo sets behind the setter to her arsenal. She also does a solid job in decision making, hitting almost .300 showcases this. Look for Emma to be a big part of the offense towards the end of the club season. She will no doubt be a playmaker for Catoosa this upcoming school season as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Micah Gillespie</strong>, Setter for Greater 316 16-1. She was an impressive player, from her tough defense while digging in transition to her athletic jumps to set balls from all over the court. She was a playmaker in the truest sense. She was a huge reason Greater 316 was able to take home the gold bracket championship this weekend. She could step into some college gyms right now and make an impact. A couple more seasons of growth and she could make waves in kansas.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='739159' first='Fallon' last='Makeever'], Setter for Charge Tulsa 16 National. Fallon was impressive this past weekend. I hadn't got to see her or her team play yet but they are good. She was a big part of this team getting a top 10 finish at a big tournament. Her range due to her hustle allowed her to track down some balls others may not get to. She is a setter that jumps, sets most balls and connects well with her middles. Much like Charge American, watch out for this crew.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='734999' first='Kenna' last='Layton'], Setter for Virago 16-1. Kenna adds 6 rotations of value to Virago 16-1. She currently is hitting a .244 on the season and sporting a 25% kill to set ratio. She has really worked on her ability to hit down the line with power and with control. She does this multiple times a match with great results. She also is a very consistent server that creates pressure on the opposing team. She is a player who always is fighting for growth and we see that in each tournament she is at.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Another very successful tournament for the state of Oklahoma. We have set a high bar and all hit the ground running. With teams from Kansas, Texas, Arkansas and Missouri, we saw Oklahoma continue to push its way to the top of the pack. We at Prep Dig Oklahoma are pumped for the coming months.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
