Fresh off a second place finish in gold at the Las Vegas Classic and a power pool selection at the Triple Crown with the Vegas Aces, she continues to elevate her game.   The Pitt commit is a dynamic attacker with a high volleyball IQ, possessing a diverse offensive arsenal—powerful kills, deceptive off-speed shots, and explosive BIC attacks. Her elite height, wingspan, and disciplined training make her a standout at any level. Her competitive edge is second to none, earning her back-to-back Nevada Gatorade Player of the Year honors.

A hardworking and disciplined middle blocker, she has become a dominant force at the net, consistently racking up blocks and executing a variety of middle attacks that convert into points.   Standing at 6'0”, Hadley uses her height and athleticism to her advantage, allowing her to attack over opposing blocks with ease. She demonstrates strong court awareness and footwork, making smooth transitions off the net to be in position for multiple attack options, including quicks, slides, and threes. Her ability to read the game and adjust to different offensive situations makes her a versatile and reliable offensive weapon. - Kantessa Bryant @prepdignv   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://www.instagram.com/reel/DGO8a5jy6_-/?igsh=MWYzdzNpeWljZjU4dA== </div></figure>     Madison is an absolute powerhouse on the court! As a middle blocker, she combines strength, precision, and exceptional timing to dominate both offensively and defensively. The moment she takes her approach, it's clear she's about to unleash a thunderous attack that will challenge any defense.   One of Madison's biggest strengths is her ability to fully extend her arm and generate incredible speed on her swings. Her fast wrist snap adds an extra level of difficulty for defenders, making her attacks not only powerful but also hard to read. She's not a one-dimensional hitter either—her offensive arsenal includes a variety of attacks, from quicks and slides to deceptive off-speed shots, keeping blockers guessing.   Madison is a hidden gem for any college program, bringing elite attacking and dominant blocking. She'll be an immediate impact player wherever she lands. - Kantessa Bryant @prepdignv   <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DGKeKC7RYOJ/?igsh=MWFrbTk5dzcxaThzMQ==">https://www.instagram.com/reel/DGKeKC7RYOJ/?igsh=MWFrbTk5dzcxaThzMQ==</a>     Shelbie truly dominated the competition all weekend at Triple Crown! In a field packed with high-level athletes on every court, she quickly emerged as one of the standout players, earning constant attention from our scouts. Standing at 5'10", this dynamic outside hitter consistently delivered for her team, racking up an impressive number of kills by powering through and around blocks with ease. But Shelbie isn't just about raw power—her volleyball IQ is equally remarkable. She has the ability to change up her attacks, using off-speed shots strategically to keep opponents guessing and add variety to her offensive game.    It's clear she's a complete player with the skills to match her athleticism. I'm thrilled to add her to my radar and look forward to seeing more of her in action at upcoming tournaments, especially those held in Las Vegas. Coaches, make sure to catch Shelbie at Red Rock Rave—she's a player you won't want to miss! - Kantessa Bryant @prepdignv     Lauren's hands are pure butter—she's got super clean hands when it comes to setting! She consistently places the ball right where her hitters need it, allowing them to execute a variety of attacks with ease. But it doesn't stop there. Along with her top-notch sets, Lauren has a serve that's a true weapon. She's capable of racking up aces or delivering serves that target specific zones requested by her coach.   Her volleyball IQ is continuing to grow with every match, and her decision-making is on point. This setter's awareness and skill level make her a standout player who's only going to get better as time goes on. Keep an eye on Lauren as she continues to make her mark on the Nevada volleyball scene over the next few years—there's no doubt she's going to be one of the top players to watch! - Kantessa Bryant @prepdignv   <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DGJqUGzSd7a/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==">https://www.instagram.com/reel/DGJqUGzSd7a/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==</a>     Jordyn is a vital force on her team, consistently getting the job done with her ability to dig tough hits and deliver perfect passes that set her teammates up for quick sets and plays. Her court coverage is impressive, and she has the mechanics to execute dime passes, even in high-pressure moments.    With an excellent sense of the game, Jordyn positions herself just outside the middle blocker's reach, ensuring she's consistently in the right spot at the right time. Her understanding of the game continues to evolve, and she gets more refined with each match, improving her performance and impact as time goes on. - Kantessa Bryant @prepdignv     Kaylah Latu is definitely a name you'll want to remember! The middle blocker made some serious waves at her last tournament with her powerful blocks and strong, aggressive swings. Her ability to attack at deep angles was especially impressive—she was able to consistently send the ball off her opponents' arms, creating tough passes and scoring points for her team.    Whether it was her timing on the block or her offensive presence at the net, Latu showed she has the tools to be a dominant force. As she continues to develop, it's clear she's on the path to becoming an outstanding middle hitter. Keep an eye on Kaylah—her skills are only going to get sharper, and she's going to be a player to watch as she continues to make an impact on the court! - Kantessa Bryant @prepdignv   <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DGJM2BGuahR/?igsh=aDV6aXJtZjlybHAx">https://www.instagram.com/reel/DGJM2BGuahR/?igsh=aDV6aXJtZjlybHAx</a>    <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Boost your exposure with Prep Dig Nevada</h2>   <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>Follow/Tag/Collab with us on Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/prepdignv?igsh=MWNqc3lrc2huZzZxcA%3D%3D&utm_source=qr">@prepdignv</a> and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/lasvegasvbanalyst?igsh=dXdjMHVnZTc0d3h6&utm_source=qr">@lasvegasvbanalyst</a></li>   <li>Claim your FREE PrepDig player profile <a href="https://prepdig.com/prospect-index/">here</a>. </li>   <li>Attend an upcoming showcase – June 21, 2025 (Registration opens soon – <a href="https://prepdig.com/events/?type=Showcase">prepdig.com/events</a>)</li> </ul>
