Class of 2028 Prospects Accelerating!

These five 2028 athletes have surged in the early part of the club season and are hurtling towards Regionals and, ultimately, the post-season this summer. With big tournaments around the corner in the Pacific Northwest Qualifier and the Salt Lake City Showdown, among others, these five are ready to show out on the court.    Bentosino is developing the full package at the libero position. She starts with a rock-solid platform in serve receive, handles short serves, and jitterbug jump floats equally well- with terrific recognition out of the server's hand. The Mountlake Terrace 2028 stays low, and she can set her feet and read a swing to make acrobatic digs well outside her midline. Bentosino is a skilled setter from her platform, and stepping in with her hands, she keeps her offense flowing even when out of system.   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://youtu.be/C3xDcjKbKa0?si=eC5KnpPeazaTh9-h </div></figure>       Bennett is playing up for Excel NW 16 Gold, and Skyview High School's 2028 setter/attacker has the length and skill to be outstanding in both. The freshman has the frame to get taller and add strength; with her sound fundamentals, she will only continue her upward trajectory. Bennett is a willing defender; she will run down a second ball, and her excellent length as a blocker is difficult for attackers to deal with.     Trask is splitting time as a setter and attacker; she has a smooth delivery when setting up her hitters and takes a hard swing when she has an opportunity on the pin. The 5'9" 2028 prospect from Glacier Peak has an easy glide moving around the court, getting her feet to the ball when she is setting and hitting. Her SNVF 16 Thunder squad will play at the PNQ this weekend in Spokane in the 16 American Division.     Stephan just finished playing on Lynden's State Champion basketball team. The 2028 setter is a terrific overall athlete and quality setter. Stephan has excellent instincts and an outstanding work ethic. Her Apex NW 15 Summit squad has plenty of talent and should be ready to rack up wins as the club season continues.     The 2028 libero works hard to deliver pinpoint passes to her setters, angling her platform and moving her feet effectively in the back row. Oxnevard has good instincts in serve receive, recognizing the serve quickly, and she will confidently handle balls in the seams.
