I was able to see her play 6 rotations as an outside hitter this past school season but once I saw her libero for her club team, thats where she looked to really be comfortable. She was able to sit back, read the play, and use her quickness to track down all sorts of attacks. She has a ton of potential to be one of the greats at VC.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2>Middle Blocker:</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='284932' first='Tyra' last='McKinnie']</strong> - She plays for UPVBC 15 Elite and attends Glenpool High School. Such a tall and athletic player. She will immediately pass the eye test during hitting lines but it does not stop there. She does the same thing when a block is there and when one is not. She is a force to be reconned with when their team is able to pass well. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2>Right Side Hitter:</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='284929' first='Charlotte' last='Nelson']</strong>- She plays for OK Charge 16UA and attends Bishop McGuinness High School. She is already a varsity starter for her high school, who finished as the state runner up in class 5A. She has tremendous power in her swing and does a great job of letting the ball drift to her right shoulder. Her abilities will only keep growing. She will begin catching the eyes of colleges soon, if she has not already. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2>Outside Hitter:</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='253948' first='Ella' last='Hale']</strong>- She plays for OK Charge 15UA and attends Mount. St. Mary High School. Ella is going to be a prolific player for MSM. She will continue the tradition of winning but more importantly help build a possible 2020s dynasty there. They could a multitude of state titles in the near future and Ella will likely be a huge face of it. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='284934' first='Leah' last='Merriman']</strong>- She plays for Elevate 15-1 and attends Claremore High School. She is a former libero turned hitter. Meaning, her serve receive and digging is already there for her to be a 6 rotation outside hitter. She had multiple instances where she did just that for the Zebras this past school season. She is an athlete through and through, she loves to compete, be coached and is a great teammate. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These athletes are all deserving of some recognition. They will be some of the state's best in the near future and players that future youngsters will look up to and want to emulate.
