Use code BamfordPD25 to register today.</a></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The PrepDig Exposure Tour is in full effect and we are highlighting the MVPs and Top Performers who stepped into competitive roles and delivered in every rotation. SoCal demanded energy, versatility, and the ability to elevate teammates. Coach <strong>Otis Glasgow</strong> evaluated his court with a sharp eye and selected one MVP and three Top Performers who made consistent, winning impacts throughout the day.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["748232"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-692e111156f8b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='748232' first='Charlie' last='Lucky-Mitchell']</strong> named MVP at PrepDig's Exposure Tour in Gardena, CA.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Coach Glasgow selected Charlie as his MVP because she delivered the kind of offense expected from a dominant OH1. She put balls away in system with a wide range of shots, scoring both down the line and with wrist away swings to deep corners. Charlie also made an impact as a blocker, creating structure and forcing attackers to adjust. Her ability to score and defend on both pins makes her a versatile six rotation weapon.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Charlie says her attacking is her strongest skill, using both power and strategy to score. She is focused on improving her serve receive by reading the ball earlier and keeping her shoulders forward, and she brings intention to every rep. Her goal this club season is to build strong team chemistry and earn a bid to Nationals, competing for a title with Seal Beach.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>She also loves mentoring younger players and helping them grow with confidence. Charlie shows up prepared, hungry, and ready to perform in every phase of the game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">~ Michelle Bamford @Coachable247</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["511593"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-692e111157057"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>Bronwyn Nihipali</strong> named Top Performer at PrepDig's Exposure Tour in Gardena, CA.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bronny impressed immediately with her defensive aggression. Coach Glasgow noted that she enforced her will on the ball and refused to back down from hard driven swings. She covered a ton of court, staying fearless and competitive in every exchange. When she was moved into the front row, Bronny showed that same attacking mindset at the net, providing value in every rotation.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Her ability to adapt and take responsibility for plays made her one of the most disruptive defenders on the court.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">~ Michelle Bamford @Coachable247</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["904367"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-692e1111570f1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>Natasha Willaert</strong> named Top Performer at PrepDig's Exposure Tour in Gardena, CA.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Natasha's offensive presence was clear from the first swing. She converts great sets into big kills and keeps defenses off balance with aggressive out of system swings. Coach Glasgow highlighted her ability to adjust her block quickly depending on the hitter, a skill that translates strongly to the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Natasha shared that her mindset and strength are her greatest assets. She always gives maximum effort and uses mistakes as learning opportunities. She is focused on improving her timing and placement on attacks, along with reading opposing hitters earlier to improve her backrow defense. She is fluent in French and has played every position except libero, which explains her strong all around instincts.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Natasha plays with energy, intelligence, and confidence that lifts the entire group.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">~ Michelle Bamford @Coachable247</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["701296"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-692e1111571d9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='701296' first='Keira' last='Everist']</strong> named Top Performer at PrepDig's Exposure Tour in Gardena, CA.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Keira delivered exactly what every coach wants from a middle. She sided out at a high rate and stayed available as an option throughout the rally. Her transition footwork kept her in scoring position, and she remained a threat in front and behind the setter. A middle with the work ethic to always be an option is one that develops quickly at the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Keira's presence pushed her court forward and helped her team sustain momentum in fast paced play.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">~ Michelle Bamford @Coachable247</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The PrepDig Exposure Tour will continue spotlighting players who step into the moment ready to grow, perform, and be seen.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --> <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>If you enjoyed this article, please help us keep the momentum going!</strong></h3> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:image {"id":885470,"width":"125px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"full","linkDestination":"none","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-full is-resized"><img src="https://prepdig.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2025/09/image_cf4e03.png" alt="" class="wp-image-885470" style="width:125px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>✨ <strong>Help a player get discovered </strong>— share this article using the share buttons and tag us on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/prepdigca/?hl=en"><strong>PrepDigCa</strong></a>!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:image {"lightbox":{"enabled":false},"id":770394,"width":"98px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"full","linkDestination":"custom","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-full is-resized"><a href="https://prepdig.com/subscribe/"><img src="https://prepdig.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2025/04/image_ff10cb.png" alt="" class="wp-image-770394" style="width:98px;height:auto" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>🚀 <strong><a href="https://prepdig.com/my-account/subscriptions/">Upgrade to a PrepDig+ Subscription</a></strong> — exclusive rankings, in-depth analysis, and access to the full <a href="https://prepdig.com/prospect-index/"><strong>prospect index</strong></a>.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"className":""} --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:image {"id":894323,"width":"126px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"full","linkDestination":"none","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-full is-resized"><img src="https://prepdig.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2025/10/image_e42f4e.png" alt="" class="wp-image-894323" style="width:126px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"className":""} --> <p><strong><a href="https://prepdig.com/events/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The 2025 Prep Dig Exposure Tour is officially LIVE!</a></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"className":""} --> <p>We're hitting 20+ cities across the country this winter to give athletes a platform to compete, get seen, and level up. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"className":""} --> <p>I'll personally be directing at&nbsp;<strong>Arizona (12/14),</strong> and can't wait to welcome some of the region's top talent to the gym. <strong>Use Code: BamfordPD25</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>🔥 <strong>Players</strong> — Use this article to grow.
