Filled with younger talent, NIVA’s 18 Black squad has a pair of long and lean attackers in the class of ’26. Ava uses her physicality wisely and powers through undisciplined blocks with ease. Looking at her footwork recently, she might also fit as a three-rotation right side option if that’s what you’re looking for. Hitting high and hard is Miss Boals’ calling card, so a lot of tool shots are in her arsenal. Defensively, she’s a little narrow for the next level, but can make an adjustment in this club season with a little more training and focus on blocking.
