Bid Event – Some of My Favorite 2028 Outsides

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Catching up on some missed players from last weekend's Bid Event. Some big-time volleyball was played in the 15s, and here are six of some of my favorites.</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='729579' first='Remy' last='Stack'] – Outside – [program_tooltip program_id='428799' first='Rockwood' last='Thunder'] 15 Elite</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I caught Remy play this past fall with St. Joseph's Academy and saw Remy's enormous potential on the left pin. Remy will develop into a great six-rotation outside over the next three years and will be one to watch, as I expect her to have a great year. Plays defense and passes solidly but is a force at the net. Strong, hits a heavy ball, and can jump out of the gym.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='545007' first='Brynley' last='Hunt'] – Outside – [program_tooltip program_id='428799' first='Rockwood' last='Thunder'] 15 Navy</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It was my first time watching Brynley play, and I was impressed. She is a 5'7” outside hitter who plays well above the net. She has an outstanding vertical, but her long arms and heavy hitting are what&nbsp;caught my attention. She will be vicious for the Kirkwood Pioneers with more time in the gym.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='730115' first='Kinley' last='Couch'] – Outside – [program_tooltip program_id='428797' first='Pursuit' last='']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Her strength is noticeable in her approach and swing; at 6'0”, she's a heavy-hitting outside who can play any position at the net with her versatility to score on either pin. With her size and length, she could be a shut-down opposite or a terminating outside hitter. Anywhere you play her, she will be a point scorer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='729601' first='Lyla' last='Dorsey'] – Outside – Club Four 15-Boost</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Lyla had a big fall season for Hannibal as a starting outside, and finished second on the team in kills with 229&nbsp; and contributed 151 digs. Lyla is a solid outside with a great line shot. With her big approach and power, she is putting up solid numbers for Club Four 15 Boost.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Marissa Falconer – Outside – Club Four 15-Boost</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I covered Marissa a couple of weeks ago, and she will be one of the top outsiders in this weekend's event. Marissa is highly athletic, with a fantastic vertical, considerable power, and a heavy arsenal of tricks. She's tough, and when I watched her play up on the 18s team, she did more than hold her own; she stood out.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Kylee Donahue – Outside – HPSTL 15 Orange</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kylee's a workhorse for 15 Orange. She uses her power to outmuscle her opponents. If she's not overpowering the block, she seeks the outside hands and uses them to score. This challenging play was fun to watch, and her game face is legit. She will be a beast on the left pin for years to come and will fit in nicely at Incarnate Word.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
