OVR Bid Preview: 2028s That Can Create a Competitive Edge

This [program_tooltip program_id='431555' first='Mintonette' last=''] m.61 team has a lot of offensive weapons with good depth at each position across the net. Holloway is an explosive attacker on the right side with quick twitch physicality in how she gets up, contacts high, and can get on top of the ball well to drive it through open space. At 5'10, the pace she can put on the ball challenges the defense well with any shot she makes cross court, down the line, or at the hands in front of her. This is a team that is among the favorites in this event.     This Spirit team is loaded with talent throughout their rotation. As they have challenged themselves well all club season long by competing in some big events, a mainstay on the court has been Van Sickle, one of the best DS/L prospects in this Ohio 2028 class. She is a pure athlete that can do a lot and bring a lot in her physical tools, skills, and sheer competitiveness. Seeded third in Pool B, don't underestimate what they bring collectively as they could finish above that seed heading to day two towards a bid.     Competing with [program_tooltip program_id='431829' first='Athlete' last='HQ'], Reginelli (*pictured) is raising her stock as a formidable DS/L prospect in this 2028 Ohio class. At 5'7, she has a long frame that benefits her ball control and defense. Along with her quickness, she can develop range in her pursuit and overall court coverage. She reads the the play action well to anticipate and adjust to the play across the net helping her to prepare to take of the ball efficiently. Expect to see her rise into the next rankings cycle.     Bush arrived on the radar recently, thankfully. She is a dynamic pin attacker for [program_tooltip program_id='431555' first='Mintonette' last=''] m.62 with good all-around skills both front and back row. As an attacker, she is very intentional in how she approaches and closes to the set where she can lift and swing with torque to create some big heat. Her athleticism leads her effort defensively and in her ball control, all areas through which she can give a big lift to her team.     Waire is a well trained athlete with big strides ahead of her as she continues her competitive cycle with Black Swamp and her Calvert high school team, one of the best in Ohio. She competes well as all Calvert prospects do, which includes performing with confidence, staying assertiveness in their individual role, and with efficiency. The 5'9 middle averaged nearly two kills per set in 2025 on a .355 efficiency and 48% kill rate.
