The PrepDig Exposure Tour has officially wrapped, and we are highlighting the MVPs and Top Performers who stepped into competitive roles and delivered in every rotation. The Gardena stop showcased athletes who made their mark through composure, consistency, and an ability to rise in key moments without needing the spotlight.   Coach Judit Navarro evaluated her court and selected one MVP and three Top Performers who consistently influenced the game and elevated the group around them.    [player_tooltip player_id='554354' first='Ava' last='De La Torre'] named MVP at PrepDig's Exposure Tour in Gardena, CA.   Ava earned MVP recognition for the way she quietly controlled the court. Coach Navarro described her as a “silent assassin,” the kind of player who shows up in the biggest moments just when the team needs it most. Ava played with a constant smile, cheered on her teammates, and brought a presence that made everyone around her better.   Ava shared that her strongest skills are leadership and communication, and that showed clearly in the way she directed defensive positioning and helped hitters understand where to attack. She is working on becoming even more aggressive defensively, pushing herself to cover more court and extend rallies. Her goal this season is simple and telling, to be more consistent and go all out on defense every time.   Off the court, Ava competes on a nationally ranked speech and debate team, and her passion for public speaking translates directly to her confident, vocal presence on the court. She is the kind of player every team wants, reliable, positive, and impactful when it matters most.   ~ Michelle Bamford @Coachable247     [player_tooltip player_id='886151' first='Stephanie' last='Chukwurah'] named Top Performer at PrepDig's Exposure Tour in Gardena, CA.   Stephanie showed herself to be a true all around athlete. She brought a heavy arm swing and a physical blocking presence, ripping away at opportunities and making her impact felt at the net. While she started the day a bit reserved, she grew more confident with every rep and finished strong.   Stephanie shared that keeping energy high no matter the situation is one of her strongest traits. She is focused on improving her serve receive by making it a priority in practice, and her goal this club season is to compete for a bid to Nationals. Though shy at first, she becomes talkative and fun once settled, a personality shift that mirrored her growth on the court throughout the session.   ~ Michelle Bamford @Coachable247     [player_tooltip player_id='841531' first='Nana' last='Hagan'] named Top Performer at PrepDig's Exposure Tour in Gardena, CA.   Nana stood out as a strong all around athlete with undeniable court presence. She played with confidence, personality, and control, quickly becoming a go to option when points needed to be finished. When the moment called for a swing, Nana delivered.   Her ability to combine physicality with presence made her one of the most reliable offensive options on the court.   ~ Michelle Bamford @Coachable247     [player_tooltip player_id='463763' first='Lily' last='Spalding'] named Top Performer at PrepDig's Exposure Tour in Gardena, CA.   Lily embodied the definition of a solid player. She was not flashy, but everything she did was clean, controlled, and effective. She played with ease, made the game look simple, and executed her responsibilities with consistency.   Coach Navarro highlighted Lily's coachability and strong work ethic. She absorbed feedback quickly and applied it with intention, making her one of the most dependable athletes on the court.   ~ Michelle Bamford @Coachable247    <h2 class="wp-block-heading">✨ If You Enjoyed This Article, Help Us Keep the Momentum Going</h2>   🔥 Players Use this article to grow.
