Red Rock Rave - PM Wave Standouts on Day One

<p>On day one of the Red Rock Rave, I had the opportunity to watch most of our Nevada club teams competing in the PM wave. I recognized some familiar faces and discovered a few new ones along the way. The level of volleyball was impressive, with a couple of Nevada teams facing off against each other. After several exciting hours of watching the action, there were a few players who stood out right from the start and continued to make an impact throughout the matches.</p>    <p class="text-gray-700">Lily is a go-to player when it comes to finishing rallies with a big kill. Her athleticism stands out as she runs multiple attacks from the outside, keeping defenders on their toes. She's mastered the tandem play with her middle, sneaking in to run a two-ball while the middle runs a quick—an almost foolproof strategy thanks to her powerful swing. With her ability to execute high-level plays, Lily is a true playmaker and ready to play at the next level. -- Kantessa Bryant-Miller @prepdignv<br></p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://www.instagram.com/reel/DHQ000opW7K/?igsh=MWM4dHpvbjBzNmcxYw== </div></figure>     <p class="text-gray-700">It was clear right away that Aiyana is a dominant presence on the court. In just a few minutes, she displayed a variety of outside attacks, including a sharp cut shot. As a freshman, she's already competing at a high level, playing up with Tstreet Sierra Nevada 17 and making an impact on varsity in high school. With her versatility and skill, Brown's future in the sport looks incredibly bright. -- Kantessa Bryant-Miller @prepdignv</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://www.instagram.com/reel/DHPtmkUxYww/?igsh=MWlsZ3g3bTBwMW9mYg== </div></figure>     <p class="text-gray-700">Abby was unstoppable all day, making an impact in both the front and back row. She dominated at the net with fast, powerful swings that kept opponents on edge. In the back row, she was just as effective, attacking off the pipe set and holding her own defensively. Her all-around game makes her a valuable asset to her team.  -- Kantessa Bryant-Miller @prepdignv</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://www.instagram.com/reel/DHPk7q5pPJ4/?igsh=MWhtZ2pwbmgydmhkZg== </div></figure>     <p class="text-gray-700">Jeya's versatility made her an instant standout. The lefty was a go-to hitter in the front row, dominating on the opposite side. But she didn't stop there—when in the back row, she seamlessly took on the role of setter, proving to be a true dual threat. Her ability to excel in multiple positions was a key factor in her team's undefeated 3-0 performance. -- Kantessa Bryant-Miller @prepdignv</p>     <p class="text-gray-700">Sydnee brings serious power every time she swings, making her a game-changer on the right side. She stepped up in key moments with big, clutch hits and showed impressive adaptability to any set. In just a few minutes of scouting her, she racked up quite a few kills, proving her efficiency and impact on the court. She is currently committed to West Virginia Wesleyan. -- Kantessa Bryant-Miller @prepdignv</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://www.instagram.com/reel/DHPj-Lbv1Y3/?igsh=cGFxazFrczI3bnFl </div></figure>     <p class="text-gray-700">Myla is an electrifying player and a true game-changer. She brings serious power in her swing but also has the court awareness to mix in smart, strategic shots. In a crucial moment when her team was down by 10, she took control with well-placed attacks, helping spark a comeback that closed the gap dramatically to just two points. No doubt, she's only getting better! -- Kantessa Bryant-Miller @prepdignv</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://www.instagram.com/reel/DHPbETWSiGW/?igsh=eGo2MHJtYmE4aTht </div></figure>     <p class="text-gray-700">Maia was a force in all six rotations, proving her versatility on the court. During high school season, she dominated as an opposite, but now she's excelling on the outside, showing her ability to adapt and thrive. This was my first time seeing her play back row, and it didn't take long to see how impactful she is on defense and when hitting the pipe set. No matter where she is on the court, Maia finds a way to make a difference. -- Kantessa Bryant-Miller @prepdignv</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://www.instagram.com/reel/DHPlnkapRjo/?igsh=MWE3aTliaGI1Z2V6Nw== </div></figure>     <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='713126' first='Kiersten' last='Cummings'] is a defensive standout who seemed to be everywhere on the court. She covers ground effortlessly, reading hitters and positioning herself to pass a dime to the setter. The libero's quick reactions and court awareness make her a game-changer in serve receive and defensive transitions. Her ability to keep plays alive was a major factor in her team's dominant 3-0 performance, proving she's a key contributor with both skill and hustle.</p>     <p class="text-gray-700">Siena is a versatile and impactful player. She's a strong hitter who can terminate rallies from both the front and back row, making her a key asset in any offensive system. Playing all six rotations, she brings consistency and reliability to both attacking and defense. Her powerful topspin serve adds another dimension to her game, keeping opponents on their toes. With her all-around skill set and court awareness, she is a player to watch. -- Kantessa Bryant-Miller @prepdignv</p>     <p class="text-gray-700">Mahana, a 5'10” all-around player that brings a dynamic presence to the court. Playing all six rotations, she contributes both offensively and defensively, making her a valuable asset. Her ability to power through blocks shows her strength as an attacker, while her high volleyball IQ allows her to read the game and make smart decisions under pressure. Whether she's swinging from the front row or covering defensively in the backcourt, Connor's well-rounded skill set makes her a standout competitor. -- Kantessa Bryant-Miller @prepdignv</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://www.instagram.com/reel/DHPb5eryZv_/?igsh=ZjNuaXlxNzhra21o </div></figure>     <p class="text-gray-700">Lindsey Rossnagel is always eager to be in the play, quickly transitioning and being an available hitter for out-of-system sets. She excels at hitting deep-angle shots, forcing defenders out of position and creating scoring opportunities for her team. Rossnagel had some crucial kills to help her team finish 3-0 on day one. -- Kantessa Bryant-Miller @prepdignv</p>    <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><br>Boost your exposure with Prep Dig Nevada</h2>   <p>Attend an upcoming showcase – June 21, 2025 (Registration opens soon – <a href="https://prepdig.com/events/?type=Showcase">prepdig.com/events</a>)</p>   <p>Follow/Tag/Collab with us on Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/prepdignv?igsh=MWNqc3lrc2huZzZxcA%3D%3D&utm_source=qr"><strong>@prepdignv</strong></a> </p>   <p>Claim your FREE PrepDig player profile <a href="https://prepdig.com/prospect-index/">here</a>. </p>
