We still have a stop in Columbus for a lot of teams, as a last minute tune up before prepping for the end of June!
Coming in hot to the 2022 JVA Summerfest in Columbus, here are some players to watch in the 16 Open.
Karlie Vogelheim Karlie Vogelheim 5'11" | MB Brighton | 2024 State MI – 6’0 MB – L2
Karlie Vogelheim Karlie Vogelheim 5'11" | MB Brighton | 2024 State MI has been shifting into a whole new gear as of late. In her last two tournaments with L2, the middle has shown off her versatility being called upon to play in both the middle and the right side. Her scoring in both positions is top notch and blocking has been superb.

Carley Piercefield Carley Piercefield 5'4" | DS/L Lakewood | 2024 State #90 Nation MI – 5’4 L – FaR Out
One of our top liberos to call in the 2024 class, this is your last chance to watch her live before June 15th! Carley Piercefield Carley Piercefield 5'4" | DS/L Lakewood | 2024 State #90 Nation MI is a dynamic libero that carries a huge load for FaR Out as a receiver and a defender.
Alec Rothe Alec Rothe 6'3" | MB Dublin Scioto | 2024 State #14 Nation OH – 6’3 OH/MB – EliteVBTC
One of the hottest names in the 2024 class nationally, Alec Rothe Alec Rothe 6'3" | MB Dublin Scioto | 2024 State #14 Nation OH always knows how to put on a show. She’s been coming into her own this season as a pin attacker and her history as a middle equips Rothe with a huge range of attacks across the net and out of the back row.
Kate Maley Kate Maley 6'1" | RS Skyline | 2024 State #153 Nation MI – 6’0 MB/OPP – Legacy
Legacy has been looking for the perfect compliment in the middle alongside Mallory Bohl Mallory Bohl 6'3" | MB Saline | 2024 State #102 Nation MI and I think they’ve found something with Kate Maley Kate Maley 6'1" | RS Skyline | 2024 State #153 Nation MI . At The Open, Maley got the starting call in the middle and more than delivered, holding down the spot ever since.
Becca Wight Becca Wight 6'4" | RS Thomas Worthington | 2024 State OH – 6’5 OPP – Mintonette
Standing tall and proud at 6’5, Becca Wight Becca Wight 6'4" | RS Thomas Worthington | 2024 State OH is a force to be reckoned with on the right side. With her high reach, Wright can tower over an opposing block and bring down some serious lightning. She’s not only an elite wing spiker, but her block is quite imposing for left side attackers.
Alivia Skidmore Alivia Skidmore OH St. Henry | 2024 State #64 Nation KY – 5’10 OH – NKYVC
An undersized, high flying dandy, Alivia Skidmore Alivia Skidmore OH St. Henry | 2024 State #64 Nation KY will be flying into Columbus this weekend. She may very well be one of the best jumpers in the field of attackers, holding her own against her taller counterparts. A full six rotation player, Skidmore is the complete package.
Morgan Gaerte Morgan Gaerte 6'4" | OH Angola | 2024 State #26 Nation IN – 6’4 OH – Team Pineapple
She’s coming in hot! Morgan Gaerte Morgan Gaerte 6'4" | OH Angola | 2024 State #26 Nation IN is one of the premier wing spikers in the 2024 class and she’ll be showcasing it all in Columbus. At the net, she is imposing and oozes physicality. In the back court, she’s agile and proves to be a complete six rotation player.
Morgan Gaerte…. enough said! 😳

Meghan Clifford – 6’2 MB – VolleyFX
VolleyFX 16 Mantra is a squad nobody should scoff over. Leading this dangerous team is middle blocker Meghan Clifford. A treat to watch in action, Clifford is a mechanically sound blocker with a great read for her opponents offense. When it comes to her own offense, Clifford is not to be stopped.
Ava Kanj Ava Kanj 6'3" | MB Solon | 2024 State OH – 6’2 MB – Maverick
Let’s add another top shelf middle blocker to the list, because there’s a lot of them. Ava Kanj Ava Kanj 6'3" | MB Solon | 2024 State OH is another elite blocker coming into Columbus with a lot of heat. Her 6’2 frame boasts an impressive wingspan that translates into a wall at the net and a hammer in offense.
