Players to Watch at Show Me Week 1

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Show Me Qualifier kicks off this weekend in downtown Kansas City. Here are some players I think you should check out if you are near their court.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>15s</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='729456' first='Miah' last='Omoike'] and [player_tooltip player_id='666872' first='Payton' last='Osegueda'] - Club North 15 Ang - 15 Open</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Two long, athletic players to keep you eyes on if you visit the 15 Open courts. Both players have shown the ability to score points all along the front line. They are also good defensively at the net with blocks and touches. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Grace Lutman - PVA 15 Elite - 15 Open</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Lutman has been a setter who has impressed me all spring. She is steady and does a good job of running the PVA offense. Her decision-making is sound and her sets are generally right on spot for her attackers. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='612171' first='Peyton' last='Creed'] - 417 MoJrs. 15 Elite - 15 USA</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Another setter to check out is Creed. She has been good all spring for 417. Her set placement is solid and her defense adds value in the back row. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='729579' first='Remy' last='Stack'] and [player_tooltip player_id='545051' first='Lily' last='Grothe'] - [program_tooltip program_id='428799' first='Rockwood' last='Thunder'] 15 Elite - 15 USA</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Stack has been stacking up kills (I know, corny) on the outside for Rockwood this spring. She has a lively arm and many shots in her tool kit. Grothe is fun to watch moving around the backrow. The libero has a quick first step and gets her hands on lots of balls. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='778336' first='Charlotte' last='Fischer'] and [player_tooltip player_id='545001' first='Zoey' last='Zweifel'] - [program_tooltip program_id='428799' first='Rockwood' last='Thunder'] 15 Navy - 15 USA</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The two in the middle has caused havoc on opponents all spring. Both are effective blockers using their length at the net. Additionally, they both are assets offensively with [program_tooltip program_id='428794' first='Power' last='']ful swings and off-speed tips. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>16s</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='446328' first='Tori' last='Massengill'] - KC [program_tooltip program_id='428794' first='Power' last=''] 16 Johnson - 16 Open</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Massengill has continued to build on a strong high school season and is a weapon for KC [program_tooltip program_id='428794' first='Power' last='']. You can see her confidence has taken that next step during the club season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='396499' first='Kinley' last='Gillihan'] - Mavs 16 Elite - 16 Open</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Gillihan has been strong in all areas of her game this spring. You see the development in her slides but she is almost unstoppable in front of the setter. She is also strong behind the service line with a strong serve that creeps up on passers fast. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
