Six Players Who Crushed the Ball at the Showcase

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This past weekend we had the PrepDig Exposure Tour make a stop inOKC and we had a grand total of 85 players attend. We only had 80 spots available at first and we begged, borrowed and pleaded that we needed more. We were graciously given 5 more spots over capacity, where we quickly filled that too. We had over 15 total colleges working, attending or receiving the players info. It was such an awesome event and Oklahoma showed up big! The next showcase will be even better. We have a ton of talent here in Oklahoma and we intend to help keep shining on light on ALL of it. Let's take a look at some players from this past weekend who can really lay the hammer to the ball. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='752830' first='Kate' last='Starr']- Kate is a 6' 2028 Outside Hitter for Edmond North. Every time we got to watch her play, she has a higher IQ, become more athletic and hit shots that most just can't. She is 6 rotations of scoring efficiency that opposing teams better game plan to attempt to slow down. Attempt is key word because she is just such an efficient hitter that stopping her isn't a real option. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='902270' first='Lydia' last='Matlock']- Lydia is a 5'11” 2029 Middle Blocker for Stillwater. Stillwater has lots of talented young hitters to work with. We got to see Lydia get a hold of a few balls and absolutely destroy them. Playing for Peak 15-1 this club season is really going to help her shine bright. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='903892' first='London' last='Laubach']- London is a 5'10” 2030 Outside Hitter for Cascia Hall. Yes, you read that correctly, 2030! She the height, the power and the determination to be big time! She was the best 8th grader I saw in person this past school season. I was curious if she would hang with the older girls at the showcase and she looked right at home. Serious colleges need to mark her down and keep her on their radars. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='739620' first='Mia' last='Johnson']- Mia is a 5'9” 2027 Outside Hitter from Bartlesville. She was a 2nd team all conference player in the FVC this past year. I thought she not only played well in front row with her attacks and block but also with her off blocker defense. She is turning into an all-around player who can contribute anywhere on the court. Watch for her this club season as she plays for [program_tooltip program_id='776295' first='Tulsa' last='Power']. Her senior year could be a special one for her and the Bruins.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='773584' first='Elysia' last='Madrid']- Elysia is a 6'2” 2028 Right Side Hitter from Union. You can't teach height and she has it. With her only being a sophomore this year, she still is only halfway through her high school career. She has a ton of time to continue to develop her skills and athleticism. Something she already possesses his power in her swing and extension when she blocks. She's on the top team for [program_tooltip program_id='776295' first='Tulsa' last='Power'] this club season, look for that too really help her shoulder more of the offensive workload for the Redhawks next year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='773146' first='Emily' last='Yoeurth']- Emily is a 5'7” 2028 Outside Hitter from Skiatook. She will be playing for Virago this season. She was a standout player last season for the Bulldogs and will likely be the same this club season. She may not have the height that others do, but she has plenty of bounce to make up for it. She also has a very fast arm swing and loves to attack down the line. Her junior season could be huge for her development and college aspirations.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
