<p>The Premier Volleyball League out of Southern California is in full blast mode. A week after the 18s and 16s divisions conducted Tournament 1, it was the 15s and 17s age groups going at it for their first tournament of the four-tournament schedule. Prep Dig was on hand for both Saturday and Sunday action. Below, we list six top attackers from the 17s that we witnessed.</p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="161445" first="Julia" last="Blyashov"], OH, Wave 17 Julianna</strong> – Having Blyashov as an option is such a weapon for Wave as she showed off her elite attacking ability. She has a high contact point and can jump well, making it very difficult on blockers as she can simply go over their hands at times. She’s also a force out of the back row so she’s always putting pressure on the defense.</p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="160016" first="Claire" last="Little"], OH, Coast 17-1</strong> – With Little and Blyashov on the same court Saturday it was a true treat for volleyball fans. Both are next-level talents and Little did her part with her smooth-swinging attacking. She’s also a force from the service line, just adding to the ways she can pressure the defense.</p>
<p><strong>Ameena Campbell, OH, Mizuno Long Beach 17 Rockstar</strong> – There’s an explosiveness to Campbell’s game. She leaps very well and gets off the ground quick. Combined with a fast swing she’s a handful and can attack out the back row as well.</p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="161479" first="Eva" last="Travis"], OH, Tstreet 17 Naseri</strong> – Travis brings plenty of offense to the lineup. She has springs for legs and gets up nicely. She has a strong arm and can hurt defenses with a variety of shots so they must track her at all times.</p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="162759" first="Zoey" last="Henson"], OH, Seal Beach 17 Black</strong> – Henson is another outside that has a bounce to her attack. She gets off the ground easily and has a strong, aggressive attack but can mix in off speed shots as well. She also plays solid defense in the back row to compliment her offensive play.</p>
<p><strong>Kylie Tengberg, OH, Legacy 17 Pyramid</strong> – There’s a certain physicality to Tengberg’s game. It can catch defenses off guard until they get used to her heavy ball.</p>
