[player_tooltip player_id='786692' first='Elle' last='Eckert'] - 2029 | OH | Elite VBTC 15 Black Eckert's power is highly effective given her ability to approach with good timing to contact consistently at the top of her jump. She moves well to get to the ball with her last two steps to drive up to contact and swing into space to put a lot of pressure on the defender attempting to keep the ball off the floor. Watch for her to get lot of opportunities this weekend. This team will begin the event in Pool 2.   <figure class="wp-block-image alignright size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepdig.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/user-uploads/ParkerTerrill.jpg?w=787" alt=" " class="wp-image-885290" style="aspect-ratio:0.7693204754429244;width:143px;height:auto" /></figure>   [player_tooltip player_id='778092' first='Parker' last='Terrill'] - 2029 | OH | NKYVC 15-1 Tsunami Terrill is half of an outside hitter duo for this team that scores a lot of points. She is getting better and better swinging on balance in the air. This is a key factor in her ability to control her arm and shoulder to drive the ball with big pace. Her confidence continues to grow and her terminal command of her offensive opportunities is a reason this team emphasizes her arm when she is in the front row. Pool 6 is where this team is seeded to being the tournament.   [player_tooltip player_id='793158' first='Jana' last='Eglitis'] - 2028 | RS | Elite VBTC 16 Black Eglitis has elite athleticism as a pin hitter. Just a sophomore, she can jump and swing in impressive fashion, which continues to grow her stock as a high ceiling prospect that has terminal potential from her action at the net and out of the back row. At 6'1, with her head above the tape at the end of her approach pattern, there is an ease in offensive tools in how she can jump and swing over defenders. And, watch out if she has space in front of her as she can find it and bury the ball to the floor.   <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepdig.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/user-uploads/ReganOaks-crop-1266x832-1769055632-crop-640x421-1775179366-e1775179396951.jpg?w=339" alt="" class="wp-image-960629" style="aspect-ratio:0.8648173578687174;width:140px;height:auto" /></figure>   [player_tooltip player_id='776441' first='Regan' last='Oaks'] - 2028 | OH | NKYVC 16-1 Tsunami The 5'10 Oaks looks more fluid and comfortable in her primary role for a team that competes at a high level and against some of the best 16U teams around with each even. She is a big reason they have earned some big wins and respect as a squad that has potential to win in any match when in rhythm and sync. Her last two steps to the ball are keys to her offensive action that allow her to use her open shoulder and aggressive rotation to terminally spread the ball around the opponents' court.   [player_tooltip player_id='805463' first='Emma' last='Tharp'] - 2027 | RS | [program_tooltip program_id='431827' first='Elevation' last=''] 17 Chicas Similar to others on this list, Tharp has length and lift as she can get up and swing high with good force on the ball. At 6'0, her athleticism and arm are a reliable option for this [program_tooltip program_id='431827' first='Elevation' last=''] team whether she is on the left or right pin. Competing primarily as an opposite, she can control her arm well to swing towards the edges of the defense with good success. Tharp can also impact the game on the defensive side as well. She is a disciplined blocker in her balance and preparation to move and set the block so she and her middle can elevate together to fill up big space.
