Great Lakes Grit 16 Girls All-Tournament Team

<p>Great Lakes Great was a great Prep Dig event held this weekend in Livonia, and the 16 Girls Division features a lot of talented prospects from the Class of 2028, 2029 and 2030. Here's a look at those that stood out to make our All-Tournament Team.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Samantha Bolach, Michigan Elite 14 Mizuno</strong></h2>   <p>Bolach was a big energy player for Michigan Elite that also factored into the game at all phases. She had great power in her attacks, but showed a high court IQ with her placement and speed adjustments. Bolach also had some lengthy service runs that stymied opponents.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='940384' first='Josie' last='Garber'], S/RS NIVA 15 Purple</strong></h2>   <p>Garber is a long setter/right side combo player that has loads of agility. She's got great hitters to work with, but also plays a great ball for them to unload on. When in her hitter role, she can climb the ladder and play above the block, while remaining aggressive in her defensive play.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='942430' first='Kendall' last='Hall'], MH NIVA 16 Grey</strong></h2>   <p>Hall did a great of adjusting herself to make the best shots possible throughout the tournament. She had a lot of power, but could make the smart shot when the sets weren't on point. She was a very active middle that created a lot of trouble for opposing attackers.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Jordyn Holly, OH Michigan Elite 14 Mizuno</strong></h2>   <p>Holly stepped into this role after playing with 15 Mizuno thus far in the club season. Holly was arguably the MVP of the entire division as Michigan Elite put the ball her way a lot and she came through at a high rate. She had as much power as any hitter in the tournament, but also made a lot of savvy plays with offspeed shots and late adjustments.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Berlyn Ingram, MH Oxford Hype Blaze-1</strong></h2>   <p>Ingram is a talented athlete that looks very comfortable in a lead role for her squad. She's able to cover a lot of ground in her attacks, using her length and athleticism to unload on the ball at a high rate when it comes her way. She's also a standout blocker and server.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Sophia Jacob, OH Michigan Elite 16 NS East</strong></h2>   <p>This team ended up being a mix of 2030 prospects due to spring break and Jacob really shined in a lot of areas. She had nice placement on her attacks and could still put good velocity on her out-of-system swings. Jacob has a lot of potential she can build on.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='942412' first='Ella' last='Myers'], RS NIVA 16 White</strong></h2>   <p>Myers, a 2029 prospect, looks like a natural that is going to have a high ceiling for her development. She's got great lift off the floor and a fundamentally sound swing. She was able to anticipate her blockers well and make the smart shot, not just relying on power.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='774850' first='Emily' last='Noto'], OH NIVA 15 Purple</strong></h2>   <p>NIVA 15 Purple had a lot of talent all around the court, but Noto's play as a six-rotation outside was really impressive. She was a natural all around the floor and had a picture-perfect swing that delivered devastating kills. If the team needed to put things away, Noto was always one to come through.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Myla Sexton, OH Michigan Elite 16 NS West</strong></h2>   <p>Sexton was a smooth all-around player that lead by example on the court. She was outsized at the net, but didn't ever hesitate and showed a lot of grit and determination. Sexton found ways to finish points while also coming through with some key defensive plays.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Syndey Snelling, OH Ballistix 15-25</strong></h2>   <p>Ballistix had their struggles, but Snelling was able to establish herself as a talented prospect. She plays long and has really good hang time at the net to produce some electric swings. Her serve was also one of the best in the division.</p>
