Bluegrass Preview: Black Swamp 16-1 Ready to Go

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This is a team working towards full strength this club season that, when it arrives, should compete well with their athleticism and depth. Featuring some really good young talent in Ohio, they have potential to score and apply a lot of pressure on opponents on both sides of the ball. Heading to Bluegrass this weekend, they open play in the 16 Premier Red division as the overall top seed. Let's take a look at some of their key pieces.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='831387' first='Davinee' last='Harris']</strong><br>Harrison continues to prove herself as a phenomenal athletic talent through the volleyball season in the fall and the basketball season in the winter. With the conclusion of the hoops season for Findlay, look for her to be a significant part of this offense that can be very dynamic in who is involved and how. Athletic with big scoring potential, she should see a lot of opportunities to swing with good results.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='805730' first='Hope' last='Waire']</strong><br>One of this team's primary middles Waire brings with her some great varsity experience individually and with her team at Calvert. Not only is Calvert known as a traditional volleyball power in Ohio, but they commonly feature great athletic potential. Waire is no exception. She is quick and can by physical on both sides of the ball. As she supported well their primary arms this past fall, she can be more than that with this club team given her versatile offensive skills at the pin or from the middle.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":895454,"width":"134px","height":"auto","aspectRatio":"0.7000102030405061","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepdig.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2025/10/1-e1772675413664.jpg?w=672" alt="" class="wp-image-895454" style="aspect-ratio:0.7000102030405061;width:134px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='722535' first='Reese' last='Redman']</strong><br>Redman is another prospect coming off the basketball season and making the transition back to volleyball following a successful high school season for Colonel Crawford. Her point scoring capabilities are proven as a six-rotation pin and there is good anticipation to see her impact arriving back to that role in one of the biggest events this time of the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='794186' first='Gracie' last='Miller']</strong><br>Miller is another athletic prospect from Calvert that had some good moments this past fall season, mostly from the defensive side and in producing over 100 aces for a second consecutive season. However, she can take healthy cuts at the ball with good mechanics in her approach work and arm in the air. Expect her to get more offensive opportunities next fall following some graduation, but first expect to see her make an impact this club season on both sides of the ball for this team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":766489,"width":"135px","height":"auto","aspectRatio":"0.85178655675018","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none","align":"right"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignright size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepdig.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/user-uploads/BrynleeMussell-e1772675318549.jpg?w=770" alt="" class="wp-image-766489" style="aspect-ratio:0.85178655675018;width:135px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='766487' first='Brynlee' last='Mussell']</strong><br>Mussell, making the jump to the 16-1 squad this club season, is a capable DS/Libero prospect from Clyde. What her skills and competitiveness provide helps create offensive opportunities for her team. This group has the ability to pass through their pins and with big effort from others such as Mussell, which can increase the volume of quality swings they get. Given the experience and skills of their core group, this quality can lead to them being more in system and achieve greater efficiency in their offensive success.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Other Athletes to Evaluate</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong>Carly Bagent</strong> - RS | Calvert</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong>Maggie Crates</strong> - S | Findlay</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong>Alexis Rettig</strong> - OH/DS | Willard</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='815816' first='Lexi' last='Them']</strong> - MB | Ontario<br><br></li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list -->
