Big Energy: 16s Who Brought the Heat at SRVA Regionals

This year's 16s division at SRVA Regionals was straight-up electric. From fearless floor generals to high-flying hitters and lockdown liberos, these athletes didn't just play the game — they owned it. With every dig, swing, and celebration, they brought intensity, leadership, and momentum-shifting energy that couldn't be ignored. These are the names you need to know — the ones heating up the Georgia scene and building serious buzz heading into nationals.    Isley is calm, controlled, and commanding in the backcourt. She reads the floor well, makes disciplined moves on defense, and constantly uplifts her team with vocal leadership. Her hustle is all heart, and her high volleyball IQ gives her an edge. Isley is the kind of libero you trust with the game on the line. ~ Samantha Fitzgerald     Isabella is a wall at the net. Her blocking instincts are sharp — she times her jumps well and consistently shuts down attackers pin-to-pin. With explosive athleticism and a no-fear mindset, she brings both intimidation and leadership to the middle. She's the kind of middle who shifts momentum with just one play. ~ Samantha Fitzgerald     Avery is a powerhouse in the middle. She jumps out of the gym and brings serious heat when she swings. Her blocking is disciplined and aggressive, and she's always in the play. She covers ground quickly and plays with an intensity that lifts her whole team. Avery brings athleticism and authority every time she rotates up. ~ Samantha Fitzgerald     Janessa is a true floor general. She communicates constantly, leads with confidence, and plays with sharp discipline. Her reads are quick, her coverage is complete, and she knows exactly where to be. Janessa's consistency and presence make her a cornerstone libero for any high-level team. ~ Samantha Fitzgerald     Avery is consistent and calm under pressure. Her serve is one of her biggest weapons, and she plays a solid all-around game. She tracks the ball well, transitions smoothly, and shows a willingness to do the dirty work. Avery is reliable and steady — the kind of outside every team needs. ~ Samantha Fitzgerald    <h3 class="wp-block-heading">If you enjoyed this article, show your support by following <a href="https://www.instagram.com/benchtobeast/">BenchtoBeast</a> for exclusive Georgia content, behind-the-scenes action, and a closer look at the volleyball community you love.</h3>   We're on a mission to spotlight talent, uplift families, and bring the volleyball community closer than ever!
