Great Lakes Grit 16 Girls All-Tournament Team

<p>Great Lakes Great was a great Prep Dig event held this weekend in Livonia, and the 16 Girls Division features a lot of talented prospects from the Class of 2028, 2029 and 2030. Here's a look at those that stood out to make our All-Tournament Team.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Samantha Bolach, Michigan Elite 14 Mizuno</strong></h2>   <p>Bolach was a big energy player for Michigan Elite that also factored into the game at all phases. She had great power in her attacks, but showed a high court IQ with her placement and speed adjustments. Bolach also had some lengthy service runs that stymied opponents.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='940384' first='Josie' last='Garber'], S/RS NIVA 15 Purple</strong></h2>   <p>Garber is a long setter/right side combo player that has loads of agility. She's got great hitters to work with, but also plays a great ball for them to unload on. When in her hitter role, she can climb the ladder and play above the block, while remaining aggressive in her defensive play.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='942430' first='Kendall' last='Hall'], MH NIVA 16 Grey</strong></h2>   <p>Hall did a great of adjusting herself to make the best shots possible throughout the tournament. She had a lot of power, but could make the smart shot when the sets weren't on point. She was a very active middle that created a lot of trouble for opposing attackers.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Berlyn Ingram, MH Oxford Hype Blaze-1</strong></h2>   <p>Ingram is a talented athlete that looks very comfortable in a lead role for her squad. She's able to cover a lot of ground in her attacks, using her length and athleticism to unload on the ball at a high rate when it comes her way. She's also a standout blocker and server.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Sophia Jacob, OH Michigan Elite 16 NS East</strong></h2>   <p>This team ended up being a mix of 2030 prospects due to spring break and Jacob really shined in a lot of areas. She had nice placement on her attacks and could still put good velocity on her out-of-system swings. Jacob has a lot of potential she can build on.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='942412' first='Ella' last='Myers'], RS NIVA 16 White</strong></h2>   <p>Myers, a 2029 prospect, looks like a natural that is going to have a high ceiling for her development. She's got great lift off the floor and a fundamentally sound swing. She was able to anticipate her blockers well and make the smart shot, not just relying on power.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='774850' first='Emily' last='Noto'], OH NIVA 15 Purple</strong></h2>   <p>NIVA 15 Purple had a lot of talent all around the court, but Noto's play as a six-rotation outside was really impressive. She was a natural all around the floor and had a picture-perfect swing that delivered devastating kills. If the team needed to put things away, Noto was always one to come through.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Myla Sexton, OH Michigan Elite 16 NS West</strong></h2>   <p>Sexton was a smooth all-around player that lead by example on the court. She was outsized at the net, but didn't ever hesitate and showed a lot of grit and determination. Sexton found ways to finish points while also coming through with some key defensive plays.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Syndey Snelling, OH Ballistix 15-25</strong></h2>   <p>Ballistix had their struggles, but Snelling was able to establish herself as a talented prospect. She plays long and has really good hang time at the net to produce some electric swings. Her serve was also one of the best in the division.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Harper Wagner, OH Michigan Elite 14 Mizuno</strong></h2>   <p>This 2030 prospect is one to keep an eye on. Wagner was arguably the MVP of the entire division as Michigan Elite put the ball her way a lot and she came through at a high rate. She had as much power as any hitter in the tournament, but also made a lot of savvy plays with offspeed shots and late adjustments.</p>
