Ever had that kid that’s just fun and great to have around? Sophia fit that mold from start to finish at the showcase on Saturday. One of the better defenders that used her hands, Miss Tran is an active floor defender and serve receive artist that can change a game with her stunning defense and ability to keep rallies alive with her relentless pursuit. I had to do a double-take, as she certainly doesn’t PLAY like she’s 5’3”—-she shows off her length in maximizing each stride when moving, and gets more touches on balls that a lot of kids struggled to get to. A good kid with a great skill set? I could start a team with her as the libero and be very satisfied with her plug-and-play ability.
