<p class="text-gray-700">Chloe Sims, 6 rotation outside hitter that does not stop. Excel 16 National Red, found a gem with this one. She keeps playing until she hears a whistle every single play. Chloe stays ready to make the play necessary for her team to stay in the play. Her serve is killer, her pass is controlled and consistent, and her swing is no doubt a scoring option. She keeps the ball in front of her defensively, making reads and plays easy off her platform. The transition time from pass to approach shows off how disciplined and comfortable she is on the court. Opponents need to know where Chloe is, if they want to compete against Excel 16N Red.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Zoe Patel, no stranger to the Prep Dig eye. a 6 rotation Outside for TAV 16 Black Josh. There is not a play that she is not a part of. Her IQ, tenacity, and willingness to make a play make her a vital part of her teams success. Wherever she is on the court, Zoe is and should be an option. Her swing from the backrow is just as likely to score as approaching from the net. This makes defenders prioritize finding Zoe every play. This kind of play makes her a threat the entire match, and opens up opportunity for her teammates to bring in points of their own. Her play, energy, and efficiency clearly make her a key factor for TAV.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Alohi Bandy, 6 rotation outside hitter for Arete 16 Navy telos. She defines a 6 rotation player. She plays defense first and does not hesitate to make a play on the ball. Her drive and hustle on defense fuel her transition into offense. She takes her feet to the ball, keeping it in front on every swing. Behind the serving line Alohi chases the ace and keeps the game difficult for passers across the net. No matter where she is, the job will get done, the play will be made and Alohi will find a way to secure a point for her team.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Aubrey Morrison, outside hitter for Houston skyline 16 royal. Everything about her play is big! She does not hesitate to swing strong and swing hard at the set. Her athleticism and reach put over most blocks set in front of her, allowing her to keep the rally going time and again. As the game progresses and Aubrey finds her rhythm she leads her team with high energy, pushing the kill every point. With a swing this big and energy to match, there is no missing her or her influence on the game at hand. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Kennadie Gibson, a high IQ hitter for TW Skyline 16 royal. Her shot selection is a tricky thing for defenders to anticipate. The IQ is on full display when the game is on, as she is constantly looking and finding ways to score around the block. A hitter that can put the ball anywhere is tough thing to defend and Kennadie has made a tough match of herself. The energy behind her the play, and the IQ of such an athlete is definitely a sight to see come nationals weekend.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Isabella Gomeza-Gala a strong outside hitter for HJV 16 elite. It only takes a few points to see that she loves to swing line and with good reason. Her foot work, speed and consistent swing have made it safe to say that she has the line shot mastered. Her athleticism, size, and aggressive play make her hard to miss when the game is on. Isabella is the player that gets her team going after the first kill and keeps her foot on the gas all game long. A teammate like this is a major factor in a successful team and HJV has capitalized on the level of play Isabella brings to the floor.</p>
