Once in the air Clarke can hit a heavy ball. As she doesn’t produce the fastest arm speed she is strong and can generate power through a variety of attack points. She has good vision as a middle as she can see what is in front of her and make the necessary adjustments while maintaining good heat. Her tendency is to approach fast, which can cause her momentum to slow down before jumping. If she can reverse that and build momentum into a big double-arm lift she will improve her point scoring effectiveness and efficiency.

– 5’11 | MH/OH | Ohio Xtreme 17’s Adam Black
With good offensive versatility, Fatzinger has the ability to contribute from any location between the pins. She has good elevation off the court and swings with a high elbow and contact. Quicker tempo options appear to be where she is most comfortable and productive and she she can get her arm up and swing through the ball with good pace.
Madison Geregach – 6’0 | OH/RS | ClevPrime 17.1
Geregach has good tools as pin attacker that includes physical size at 6’0 tall and ability to create a high contact point when she gets her feet to the ball. She has passing skills as well that if she can continue to develop fundamentally she will increase her impact on the offensive side and as a six-rotation athlete specifically. Adding a double-arm lift and getting her left side up and out in front of her will be a big gain to her attacking opportunities in the air.

She has fluid approach mechanics that help carry her momentum from the to her arm in the air. She has a fast arm in the air and can swing effectively through a high ball or a faster tempo pushed to the pin. She is steady as a passer as well and has good platform skills to get her setter in system and create a lot opportunities on the right side.
Grace Wasserman – 5’11 | OH | Black Swamp 17-1
Wasserman has a big arm and can create good power as a pin hitter. She shows good timing and lift with capability of getting on top of the ball and terminating with pace and movement cross court or down the line. She had a great junior season in high school hitting over .400 and earning several accolades including 1st team all-league and all-district in addition to all-Ohio 3rd team recognition. Bigger lift with both arms will increase her elevation and create more balance in the air.
