Frostbite Festival: Sensational Standouts

I love scouting volleyball and was elated that the Frostbite Festival brought in some talent that I haven't seen before. As I was walking around the multiple venues watching and taking notes, there were times that I got a little off schedule and ended up watching some players a bit longer than I anticipated due to the fact that they were so captivating. The following are some of the sensational standouts that brought their A game to the Frostbite Festival.    This girl can play. Anderson is a true 6 rotation player that is just simply a beast everywhere on the court. She has a powerful arm that can terminate multiple shots, is scrappy on defense, serve receives well, and the list goes on and on. What really captivated me though was that Anderson gives 110% on the court at all times. Truly a sensational player that is going to turn a lot of heads this year leading up to recruitment.     I have heard of Fjerstad before this weekend but I hadn't seen her play in person. Thus, I made sure to carve out time to catch her in action and let me say, she did not disappoint. She is a quick, strong, athletic, and powerful attacker. She is also versatile and can dominate from anywhere on the court. I watched her put down several kills from the middle and pins, and then also take some huge swings from the backcourt. Sky is the limit for this kid. She is going to go far in the volleyball world.     [player_tooltip player_id='741901' first='Magnolia' last='Voss'] is going be a big time player. As an 8th grader playing up in the 16s division, her skills were jaw dropping. She jumps sets with ease, consistently pushes the ball out to the pin, finds hitters in transition, and has the ability to do crazy reversals that most older setters can't do. And, just when you think you have seen the extent of her skills, she rotates to the front row and shows you that is also a forceful attacker. She delivered heavy blows by terminating balls from both pins and by running slides out of the middle. Voss is going to be one of those players we hear alot about over the next several years.     Theobald was one of the most energetic and powerful right side pins at the Frozen Festival. She transitions well, has a quick approach, and an electric, heavy swing to deliver a monster of an attack. She also played exceptional defense. She was able to shut down a number of attackers with her big block. Theobald also outshined many others with her off block defense. She hustled, covered, and did a great job picking up tips/shots. Theobald is in the middle of her recruitment and believe me, we are all taking notice.     Henrikson had an exceptional tournament. What I like about her is that she can do everything. She has a great serve, is a powerful attacker, is a quick and efficient setter, and is a great defender. She has a very high volleyball IQ and a fierce competitiveness. Her team relies on her to deliver because she consistently comes through time and time again. Some school is going to snag her up soon and they are going to be so fortunate they did.
