USA Volleybal GJNC – Day Three Ballers Who Shined

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the most difficult aspects of the club volleyball season is to earn the elusive bid to USA Volleyball's Girls Junior National Championship.&nbsp; This year, the prestigious event will be held at the Kay Bailey Hutchinson Convention Center in Dallas, Texas from June 25^th til July 3^rd.&nbsp; Prep Dig will be covering the event from start to finish.&nbsp; This article will be highlighting some awesome individual players who caught my eye due to their performance.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='739802' first='Charli' last='Niu'] </strong>of Austin Juniors 15 Adidas dazzled everyone who watched her perform.&nbsp; Not only was she super impressive with her delivery of the ball, but she routinely caught the defense off guard with some sneaky left-handed setter dumps that scored.&nbsp; There was just no stopping her ability to score points for her team as she dumped, ran awesome offense, and stuff-blocked opposing outside attackers for points.&nbsp; She will for sure be rising up the State Rankings with this type of performance at nationals.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='744600' first='CLAIRE' last='M BOLTON']</strong> of Alamo 15 Premier might not catch your attention right when you see her, but she will have you in awe of her skill set if you just watch for any amount of time.  This young lady is a true baller who can do it all on the court.  She has hands as soft as clouds that can deliver amazing sets to her teammates and she can also thump the ball with the best of them.  It almost seems as if she has an extra gear to levitate even higher during crucial moments of a match.  She is a true joy to watch on the court and can light up a scoreboard in a hurry at any given time. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='579122' first='Aaria' last='Bruner'] </strong>of 360 Kaos Black is super exciting to watch as she soars high in the air to thump the ball for kills.&nbsp; Armed with an amazing vertical and a lightning fast arm swing, the ball almost disappears from the moment she makes contact with her hand.&nbsp; Do not blink when she gets set, because you will not be able to see the ball land.&nbsp; We were very impressed with her attacking and will be sure to keep our eye on her moving forward.&nbsp; We strongly suggest you do also.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Aliyah Bowser</strong> from San Diego VBC is a member of the ten foot club, meaning she can touch ten feet high in the air with her approach jump.&nbsp; This was on full display throughout the tourney.&nbsp; Blessed with super long arms, she can get well above and over the net to shut attackers down as a blocker.&nbsp; As an attacker it is almost impossible to stop her if you do not time her jump correctly.&nbsp; This young lady is someone who needs to be put on your short list of athletes to watch moving forward.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='745997' first='Jordan' last='Neal']</strong> of [program_tooltip program_id='462263' first='TAV' last='Houston'] 15 Molten has a cannon for a right arm and she is not afraid to unleash it on anyone who stands in her way.&nbsp; She can run many routes with precision and power to ignite her team's offense.&nbsp; We saw her at our showcase a few days ago and she turned some heads, so I made my way to her court to watch her in a match.&nbsp; I was very impressed with what I saw and thought that she has a lot of potential to be a solid player for anyone who gives her a shot.&nbsp; Blessed with height and power, she will continue to be a threat for any squad that feeds her the ball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There are many more amazing teams and players that will be written about.&nbsp; Stay tuned for more articles on your favorite athletes.&nbsp; If you have anyone you think we should watch out for, please shoot me an email with some info at <a href="mailto:Michael@prepdig.com">Michael@prepdig.com</a>.&nbsp; You can also DM me on Instagram or X by searching @CoachMikeDZ.&nbsp; Also don't forget to help these kids get more exposure by sharing our stories with your friends.&nbsp; Help us help them by simply reposting on X, Instagram or sharing on Facebook.&nbsp; Thanks for following Prep Dig Family!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
