USA Club Championship Showcase Top Performers Vol 3

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prep Dig continued its partnership with USA Volleyball at the Junior National Club Championships Showcase, held at the Greater Columbus Convention Center on June 4^th.  The event brought together athletes from across the nation looking to compete in front of college coaches while being evaluated by Prep Dig scouts and court coaches. Showcases like this continue to provide a valuable platform for athletes to be seen, tested, and recognized for their individual performance and intangibles. Let's take a closer look at three players who earned Top Performer honors based on what they showed on the court.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["992120"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a28c5240b396"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Brynn is a class of 2029 outside hitter from Mount Notre Dame High School and Cincy East 15.1 Black. All night long she showed why the court coaches were drawn to her throughout the event. With solid height of 5'9", she attacks from the left pin with an arm swing and physicality that wows every spectator. The showcase format of working alongside new teammates from different states proved that she has a great ability to showcase leadership. We also noticed that she reads the game quickly and adjusts to whoever is setting her without needing time to get comfortable. She was coachable in real time, applied corrections immediately, and competed with a character and enthusiasm that told us she would be a great addition to any squad. Miss Adams is a 2029 outside hitter who plays with confidence and competes with joy and that combination is more rare than people realize. Please help me congratulate her on earning Top Performer honors at this showcase. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["992057"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a28c5240b431"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Carly is a class of 2027 setter from West Johnston High School and CLVC 17 Black.  Miss Eagles ran the offense at this showcase with strong decisiveness that stood out to all of our court coaches. She does not wait for the perfect pass to make something happen, pushing the tempo and delivering the ball with a quickness and accuracy that keeps her hitters comfortable and opposing defenses off balance. We loved how she pushed the ball against the flow of the pass and got her hitters into one on one situations.  Her communication on the court was a constant throughout the event, talking to her new teammates from the very first warmup and making every attacker around her feel like the offense was built for them. The court coaches were particularly drawn to how she managed pressure moments, staying calm and keeping her distribution choices sharp when the game got competitive rather than tightening up. Please help me congratulate her on earning Top Performer honors at this showcase. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["955807"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a28c5240b4a9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Miss Ketcham is a very talented middle blocker in the class of 2028 from Archbishop Hoban High School in Akron and Nova Juniors 16 Navy.  Ellesyn is currently ranked No. 94 overall in the Prep Dig Ohio State Rankings.  Once we saw her in the positional drills, we knew exactly why she was ranked.  Her attitude stood out to me immediately and she was a true joy to watch compete.  I singled her out and did a quick interview with her that will be showcased on our Instagram soon.  Everyone will see how she can easily add some great communication and fun to any squad once they see what we saw and heard.  At 6'0" she creates a problem above the net that most offenses are not fully prepared for and she uses that contact point intelligently rather than just throwing her hands up and hoping the ball finds her. She absorbed feedback from the court coaches immediately and her willingness to compete hard with new teammates in an unfamiliar setting showed the kind of high-character, team-first approach that college coaches love to see. Ellesyn is a ranked prospect in Ohio who is playing like someone who has not finished moving up that list.  I would strongly recommend every coach to give her a look or two.  Please help me congratulate her on earning Top Performer honors at this showcase. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As always stay tuned for more articles on your favorite athletes.  If you have anyone you think we should watch out for, please shoot me an email with some info at <a href="mailto:Michael@prepdig.com">Michael@prepdig.com</a>.  You can also DM me in Instagram and X by searching @CoachMikeDZ.  Also don't forget to help these kids get more exposure by sharing our stories with your friends.  Help us help them by simply retweeting on Twitter or sharing on Facebook.  Thanks for following us, Prep Dig Family!  Don't be afraid to interact with us.  We love the likes, shares, and quotes/comments.  Keep them coming!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
