<p class="text-gray-700">Brew will be one of the scoring options of the AJV 15 Adidas team that will compete in the 15 Open division. She's very efficient from either pin and has a high level of consistency in her game. Brew gets off the floor well and is very explosive with her swings, but also knows when and how to score off tips or to tool the block when needed. She also gets to contribute in serve-receive and has a solid blocking presence, timing her jumps well and playing aggressively above the net.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Cook will be with the Austin Skyline 16 Royal team that will appear in the 16 Open division. She's playing up with the team and has a dual role with them, serving as both a setter and a right side hitter for them. Cook is a very talented playmaker, who fakes her moves well and consistently creates good situations for her hitters to score. Offensively, she uses her length well to open up more scoring possibilities and is very intelligent with her shot selection.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Ortega and her AJV 17 Adidas team will get on the court in the 17 Open division. A new face with the team this season, coming from Texas Fury, she immediately became one of the main scoring options. Ortega's offensive game is complete and efficient as she has tremendous power and reach in her swings, but she is also technical and smart enough to score with finesse. She has strong technical foundations in her game too and can remain on the court on the back row, helping with her passing and defense.</p>
