You don't have to look much further for proof than what Legacy 14-1 ADIDAS has done this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 14U squad has proven to be one of the best in the nation, winning two Open titles this year while finishing second in three other events. Here's a breakdown of their squad and what to expect from them.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='587564' first='Lexi' last='Coleman'], OH</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A 6-foot outside, Coleman shows tremendous upside. She has outstanding lift off the floor and can hang in the air to high-point her attacks. Coleman can finish from either pin and shows a full arsenal of shot speeds and attack angles.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='709559' first='Kaelyn' last='Easton'], S</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A lengthy setter at 5'11”, Easton runs an offense with tremendous tempo and pacing. She knows how to keep her foot on the gas and has shown she get hit all her locations with consistent accuracy. Easton shows a lot of good defensive instincts as well and is a great blocker.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Saniya Tucker, MB</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A 6'2” middle prospect, Tucker immediately commands attention when she steps on the floor. Along with her length, Tucker can explode off the floor, allowing her to wait on the ball and unload on it. She can power through blockers, or play fast enough to stay ahead of them.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='757121' first='Stella' last='Smith'], L/DS</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Smith is one of the top defenders in the country for this age group, which isn't much of a surprise. She's a well-coached and has lived volleyball her entire life and it shows in her passion on the floor. Smith is an energy player that can make all the difficult digs.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='885461' first='Riley' last='Harrah'], OH</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A 5'10” outside, Harrah has big power with a concise swing, but she has the ability to dial up her intensity when she needs to. Harrah has great control of the ball, making smart choices at the net with offspeed and tempo swings.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='768151' first='Emily' last='Nwabueze'], MB</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A 5'10” middle with a name that all of Michigan knows, [player_tooltip player_id='768151' first='Emily' last='Nwabueze'] shows great potential for her ceiling. She's got tremendous explosiveness off the floor and impressive footwork. She can deliver as powerful of an attack as anyone at the position.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='888385' first='Anna' last='Lock'], RS</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Lock has been a great complement on the outside for the Legacy offense. A nearly 6-foot right side, Lock has great length at the net to make aggressive plays on the right side. Lock has shown she can put the ball away sideline-to-sideline.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='885464' first='Charlotte' last='Keyes'], MB/RS</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Another 6'2” option in the middle or the right side, Keyes has improved in her timing and footwork this club season to improve on her impact. She's been a nice momentum booster by delivering a thunderous kill when her timing is on point.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Kate Bergoff, OH</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A technically sound player, Berghoff finds ways to impact the game no matter where she is on the floor. She can deliver a timely kill or a key dig at any moment. Her swing shows great technique and she can put the ball away from the back row.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='788886' first='Bristol' last='Davenport'], L/DS</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Another top-level defender in the class, Davenport is going to be a big aid to her high school program in short fashion. She makes good adjustments in the back row and stays low to the ground to get accurate passes to her setter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
