Continue ReadingThe 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 five setters from the 15s that we witnessed.
Isabella Jones, Mizuno Long Beach 15 Rockstar – Mizuno runs a 6-2 and Jones is one half of a strong combo. She has a soft touch and smooth delivery with good location. Her back setting is usually on point and she’s able to connect with her middle as well.
Mallory LaBreche, Surfside 15 PV Legends – Surfside is a talented team and LaBreche contributes in multiple ways as a setter/right side. She has a calm yet intense demeanor and does well directing the offense. She’s also a capable hitter who can help the offense out when she rotates to the front row.
Aleina Manaois, SG Elite 15 Rosh – SG Elite is not able to match some of the other teams in terms of height so it must find a way to make up for that. That’s where Manaois fits in. SG Elite is known for running a fast tempo offense and Manaois definitely can run up-tempo sets to try and get her hitters looks before the block is able to get established.
Ayva Ostovar, Mizuno Long Beach 15 Rockstar – Ostovar is the part of the setting duo for Mizuno and a reason why the team doesn’t skip a beat which ever setter is on the floor. She sets a consistent, hittable ball and is rarely off with her location.
Jolyna Salas, Coast 15-1 – Salas is another setter who delivers consistently more times than not and that allows her hitters to do their thing. She also looks to mix it up and get her different options involved.
