<p>Moving right along in our preview of all Indiana-based teams going to Las Vegas for GJNCs, we hit upon the lone Team Indiana representative. This squad has plenty of size, skill and athleticism to go around, and should make waves and compete well in this field. Here are five different athletes from three different high schools that have been doing just that this entire club season.</p>

<p>I was not exaggerating when I mentioned that size and skill are in abundance on this squad. Even defensive specialist <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='413233' first='Reagan' last='Turk'] ('26, 5-6 DS/L, Roncalli)</strong> is bigger than the average defender in this class. Her ability to use a solid base to go with her calm platform makes her a prime candidate for recruitment in the fall of '26. Setter <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='435850' first='Anabelle' last='Schembra'] ('27, 5-8 S, Center Grove)</strong> is an aggressive and skillful setter that can make any set happen from anywhere on the court. I also like her relentless competitive nature from a leadership position. It's not often in this class that a setter younger than her surrounding players can command a team the way she can. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='254827' first='Lydia' last='Stahley'] ('26, 6-1 OH, Roncalli)</strong> is our third south-sider mentioned in this article. Her length IS her strength, and she maximizes her attack reach and her jump to make some blocks look irrelevant. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='261044' first='Natalie' last='Vance'] ('26, 6-0 RS/MB, Center Grove)</strong> is our final player mentioned that lives south of I-70, and seems to be the glue for this roster. She can play either position listed above, and does it with pace and athleticism and without the fanfare and attention. Doing the dirty work is this kid's calling card. Finally, the biggest middle on this (or any) roster going to GJNCs is <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='512366' first='Elli' last='Strecker'] ('26, 6-4 MB, Zionsville).</strong> Big and physical, her attack touch is well north of ten feet and can hit any angle in any situation from in front of or behind the setter. She also uses her long strides to her advantage by making net defense look easy from pin to pin.</p>
