Scouting Reports: 15Q Standout All-Arounds

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>WEST DES MOINES, Iowa - </strong>A group of players make defining their positions difficult. They hit on the outside, block in the middle, dig, set and serve. We like to call them the all-arounds, meaning they're helping out all around the court. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I had the pleasure of watching a lot of the 15 Iowa regional qualifying tournament this past weekend here at the RecPlex. I witnessed a lot of solid all-around performances. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here are some of them: </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='261094' first='Reese' last='Naeve'], Rockets R - </strong>I saw Naeve play with Iowa City Regina way back at the beginning of the prep season. I was impressed with her game then. I'm more impressed after watching her here. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Naeve ('26) can do it all. It's tough deciding what she does best. It's probably outside hitting but the other skills are close behind, if at all. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Abby Jensen, Six Pack - </strong>What was written above about Naeve also applies to Jensen. Her talents are diverse. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I watched Jensen ('26) fit in as a freshman on a loaded Dike-New Hartford team when it won another state title in November. I gained a greater appreciation for her full set of skills at regionals. She showed capabilities of a big sophomore campaign. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='261075' first='Kaelyn' last='Wieland'], Ignit Select - </strong>Like the others on this list, Wieland stresses opponents from anywhere on the court. I saw her help West Des Moines Valley to the big-class state semifinals during her freshman season in the Fall. She stood out then and again this past weekend. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Wieland shares another common trait with the other players on this list. She excels with a high level of athleticism. She jumps really well with quick-twitch reflexes. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Lauren Olson, PowerPlex - </strong>I <a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2023/01/scouting-report-indianola-at-clear-creek-amana/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">wrote about Olson</a> this past Winter after watching her as a freshman on Indianola's basketball team. She shined during my first time watching her play volleyball, too. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Olson swings it well from the left side, probably her best spot, but contributes at the net and in the back row with an effective serve. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>McKenzie Moeller, Select Mizuno - </strong>Moeller played a key role in Select reaching the tournament championship against Rockets. She helped all around the court. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Moeller hits with pace from the outside with excellent leaping ability and power. She holds up well in the back row, too, passes accurately and delivers serves with good movement. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Aspen Sparks, CIA - </strong>Sparks fits the mold of the players listed before her on this list. She helps her team wherever it needs her. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Harper Pacha, Adrenaline/Paul - </strong>The Wellman Mid-Prairie High product chipped in all around the floor during a successful weekend for Adrenaline. She hits well from the left side and also converts tough digs into strong passes. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
