JV Championship standouts

Assumption brought home the hardware in this past Saturday's JV Championship Tournament in Louisville showing their depth to make a great comeback run in the second set against Mercy to take the win in two sets. While Mercy executed flawless play for a perfect set against Sacred Heart 21-0, creating their own history! Loads of talent was showcased, we're dropping a few head turning names!    Avery brings size and talent to the front line. An impressive player in height and skill made a big impression on us. Avery has an impressive vertical to get on top of those balls and hammer them down! She has great mechanics in a big approach with great footwork and arm swing to release a beautiful swing resulting in big kills. She gets exceptional reach on her well timed blocks and moves easily and smoothly up and down the net.. She executes a nice slide and will put in a sneaky left hand tip! She covers well, has great court IQ and supports her teammates well on the court She is a star that shines! Can't say enough!     Ramsie is a player whose presence on the court is felt! She runs a sound offence with smart plays and excellent court IQ. She is quick on her feet to get under the ball for second contact and can set fast and accurately to the pins or middle using all options effectively. She has an amazing backset that is quick and makes the pins job easy! She is a sound blocker with a good vertical and has excellent ball control tipping or dumping. She will go far!     Addi shows a lot of grit and determination on the court. A Freshman that plays up fits the mold, and then some. We saw some brilliant back row defensive plays and digs from her text book platform and technique. Addie digs hard in the back row getting those balls that are between the seams and short. She puts in 110% laying herself out to get the ball up and playable, she can soften up a hard hit and return it accurately to the front row and covers the backrow extremely well. She is a sound passer that made big plays all day! Love her performance!     A serious lefty who takes big swings Allie is a weapon on the court. We saw a ton of great energy and explosiveness from Allie's play. She packs a left swing that literally brought the oppo backrow to their knees and can hit straight down the line into the corner. She has an amazing block with excellent height and timing with plenty of reach. She is absolutely solid as a RS pin and can angle those hits for a nice kill. She covers well on the front line and has fast reflexes to dig up a block if needed. She supports her teammates well and is an enthusiastic player. She brings her A game!     We are in awe of Sydney's play for a freshman, it gets better every time we cross paths. Sydney is one of those players that changes the game on the court. She has explosive energy that drives her team, she has developed a cannon of a swing from the pin and executes it with textbook technique. She has a good rapport with her setter and is called upon frequently during sets and delivers consistently. She can dig up a ball tight to the net, tip showing excellent ball control and will lay herself out in the back row with a dig. She plays a full rotation and will serve up aces, and holds down the back row, knowing exactly where to be on the court to make big plays! Sydney is the complete package and a gamechanger!
