Exposure Tour-Session 2: Heavy Hitters and Terminal Arms

The most audible aspect of Session 2 was the sound of the ball hitting the floor. A specific group of attackers stood out not just for their ability to score, but for the sheer velocity and aggression of their swings.   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Heavy Hitters</h2>   Leading the "power" conversation was [player_tooltip player_id='901514' first='Ava' last='Stelter'] (2027, MB, Dominican). Scouts described her simply as a "beast" due to her very heavy, powerful swing. She pounds the ball with significant power, making her a formidable presence in the middle. Joining Stelter in this category was [player_tooltip player_id='827590' first='Paige' last='Hoelzel'] (2027, MB, Neenah). Hoelzel doesn't just hit the ball; she takes a really violent swing, signaling an aggressive mindset that college coaches love to see.   Similarly, [player_tooltip player_id='510488' first='Camden' last='Smith'] (2027, MB, Kenosha Indian Trail) puts everything she has into her hits, adding a very fast snap on her swing that challenges defenders' reaction times. On the outside, [player_tooltip player_id='551480' first='Enzie' last='Riley'] (2027, OH, DSHA) impressed with her athleticism, showing off as a springy jumper with a fast arm swing. [player_tooltip player_id='756539' first='Addison' last='Steine'] (2027, MB, Hayward) also contributed to the artillery with a heavy swing out of the middle and the ability to execute a nice cross-court shot. Finally, [player_tooltip player_id='586485' first='Samantha' last='Ruffing'] (2026, MH, Franklin) cannot be ignored in this group. Her general demeanor was giving me "Harper Murray vibes," and she aggressively pursues tight sets and swings hard without hesitation, proving she is comfortable playing physical volleyball at the net.   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Terminal Arms</h2>   The pins were absolutely loaded with talent at the Wisconsin Exposure Tour Session 2. From high-flying outsides to heavy-hitting right sides, the offensive firepower was on full display in Cedarburg. These athletes didn't just score; they terminated plays with authority and varied shot selection.    Leading the charge was Wokatsch. She is an explosive athlete who brings significant energy to the court. Wokatsch demonstrated an explosive approach paired with a big jump and a swift arm swing. What stood out most was her ability to use her core effectively to hit cross-court and getting herself positioned to unleash a powerful swing.     Another pin hitter who demanded attention was [player_tooltip player_id='435893' first='Kahlen' last='Willis']. She is an explosive jumper who has the unique ability to accelerate her arm swing mid-air. Willis' court vision was excellent, as she was seen hitting a deep cross-corner shot that got around the block with ease.     On the right side, Lempke showed maturity well beyond her years. As a member of the class of 2029, she already possesses a wicked and crafty left-handed swing. When given space on the net, Lempke reaches high over the block to hit the deep cross corner with pace, showing flashes of pure dominance.     The class of 2029 continued to shine with Bork playing with a heavy arm and high intelligence. I would describe her as someone who "tears the leather right off the ball". However, she isn't just about power; she punished blockers by hitting down the line and showed great IQ by using the block beautifully on trap sets.     Rounding out this group of terminators is Oldenburg. She brings a violent swing from the outside and excellent mechanics that allow her to get on top of the ball. Oldenburg also displayed finesse with a nice wrist-away swing that dropped into the middle of the court, keeping defenders off balance.
