played with fierce determination and consistency across all six rotations. Defensively, she read hitters like a seasoned veteran and wasn’t afraid to hit the floor to keep the ball alive. Offensively, she made smart use of the block—using wipe-offs, sharp cross, and hard-driven line shots to keep defenders off balance. Bella’s serving was sharp, creating pressure on reception and pulling teams out of system. She thrived in transition, rarely missing an opportunity to attack. With her strong all-around game and never-quit attitude, she was the heartbeat of

Potempa will have plenty of options when it comes to the next level. She is a really solid, bouncy outside hitter who will have options to be a defensive specialist/libero or an outside hitter. She would be considered a bit undersized at the pin, but she’s touching ten feet and can score points in high volumes. She is also a threat to score out of the backrow. She was an All State pick for Timothy Christian this past high school season and will look to carry that momentum into the 2025 club season for Adversity .

made quite an impact for
Adversity
this past club season where she is a springy six rotation outside hitter. She has a unique ability to sky and create a variety of shots for herself. With her leaping and shot making ability, she can score points from the backrow and if highly effective out of system. At the next level, Potempa could continue swinging from the pin or could see the route as a defensive specialist or libero. She can serve receive and pass where she could be a great L2 or put the jersey on and defend full time.

High flyer. Bella Potempa of Adversity 16 Adidas explodes off the floor on her approach where she is touching ten feet. She is a fierce competitor where she wants the ball in the big moment. She was a big catalyst for her team who had a huge weekend of building momentum at the Prep Dig Gauntlet. This team is so balanced and everyone has a role to contribute. The chemistry was clicking. One of the best matches of the weekend was their quarterfinal against Sting 16 Gold where they had a close loss in three sets. They will be another 16 Open team in Orlando to keep close tabs on.

Bella was relentless at the tournament. She made some jaw-dropping plays on day 2. Her vertical is sky-high, and she makes consistent hand contact with the ball. She never misses a beat and gives everything she has to her team in every single play. Bella is also a solid passer and adds value in all six rotations.

Bella is an athlete with huge potential in this class. She has great form, an explosive approach, and a toolbox of shots she can utilize. She is a 6-rotation pin who could have a huge impact in this class.

Potempa is a really explosive jumper and has a fast swing to go with it. She’s got a high contact and snap to put some pace on the ball. You can see her all-around game is solid and a valuable asset to her squad.
