On the Radar: Five New Prospects to See

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Mara Geiger</strong> - AVC | 2025<br>The North Royalton product stands at 6'0 and is a viable offensive option from either pin. She can use her length and touch point well when she gets her feet to ball and is on time as her arm has some natural power upon contact. At 2.0 k/s during the last high school season, she had a big increase in her offensive production from the prior season to terminate over 150 total kills for a career best. Geiger competes for AVC 17 White this club season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='159349' first='Keira' last='Hans']</strong> - Tri State Elite | 2025<br>Hans is a northern Kentucky prospect from Simon Kenton that crosses the border to compete for TSE's second 17U team. She is a fast twitch athlete with good quickness and lift. At 6'0, her transition work and blocking are two of the better parts of her game. She creates good space around the setter and combined with good contact point above the tape, Hans can move the ball around well with her arm through quick tempo options. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Brooklyn Hemminger </strong>- Black Swamp | 2026<br>A primary attacker on the left side, Hemminger makes the most of her tools as a 5'7 outside hitter. She shows good footwork and timing in her approach work with an impressive contact and swing at the peak of her jump. Used through different attack points, Hemminger opens well to the ball which allows her to generate good power. She was a regular contributor for a balanced Clyde team in 2023 as she earned 176 total kills on the season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='786162' first='Ella' last='Kresak']</strong> - Mintonette | 2026<br>Kresak is listed as a dual defensive and setter prospect that competes for Mintonette's second 16U team. Evaluated through the DS role, she has good tools in this phase of the game. At 5'6, she is quick and applies good vision and patience in her preparation to make plays at the first touch. Her high school experience has carried over well as the 2nd team all-district honoree led Oletangy Berlin defensively with 386 total digs in 2023.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='759635' first='Lilly' last='Woolums']</strong> - NKYVC | 2026<br>Woolums is a 5'9 setter with good skills and instincts as a floor leader. The Turpin product makes a steady impact around the court as she has good location efficiency in system and when in scramble situations. She establishes herself well at the first contact to be able to pursue the ball effectively. As a distributor, Woolums has good passing and court sense to be able to make adjustments during point flow that help her with tempo and flow to get her hitters into hittable situations when on the move.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
