The 14s and 18s divisions are behind us. In case you missed any of our coverage from those divisions, you can read about Munciana 18 Samurai bringing home the 18 Open gold and Boiler Jrs 14 Gold owning the 14 Open division. Also, we highlighted our Show Stoppers from the gold brackets as well. We are now onto the 15s and 17s divisions, which got underway Sunday at AAUs in Orlando. With 75 teams in 17 Open and another 59 in 15 Open, there was an insane amount of volleyball to attempt to take in on Day 1 of those divisions. We did our best to get to as many courts as possible. Fortunately, there is still three days of action to come. Also, keep scrolling on down for recaps on what took place but first here are 35 Day 1 Show Stoppers from those divisions. Abigail Li, S, A5 Mizuno 15 Bob – A four-star recruit, Li is a stoic setter who doesn’t get too high or low. She has a great touch and puts her hitters in favorable positions many more times than not. Addison Makun, MB, Adidas KiVA 15 Red –Makun – a three-star recruit – is a name you’ll be hearing plenty of in the coming years. She’s a great prospect with a bright future with her size and arm. She opens up the offense as opponents must focus in on her. Jenna Vande Weerd, MB, Kairos 15 Adidas – Vande Weerd proved to be a strong presence. She was hitting deep winners and was getting touches to help slow down attacks. Maggie Meister, L, Kairos 15 Adidas – A three-star recruit, was getting low to get balls up. It was part of the package as she was making saves on a regular basis. Shylah Swope, S/RS, VA Elite 15 – Swope is a bit undersized but plays a valuable role by setting and hitting. She can hang in the air a split-second longer than expected, which can make her tough to time up blocking. Evelyn Jurden, S/RS, VA Elite 15 – Jurden is the other half of the 6-2. She has a big arm and when in a pinch she can hit out the back row in out of system plays. Sakura Codling, Tri-State Elite 15 Blue – A three-star recruit, we saw Codling a few weeks ago at the JVA SummerFest. She impressed then and she impressed again this time. She’s steady out of serve receive and does a solid job covering touches. Charlotte Glass, S, Tribe 15 Elite Dean – A five-star recruit, Glass has a great touch and sets a consistently clean ball. She’s on the mark regularly and is a huge prospect. Caroline Noonan, RS, CUVC 15 Premier – Noonan provides a boost on offense with her scoring capabilities on the right side. Her big arm combined with a big swing equals big kills. Jasmine Glenn, MB, Team Indiana 15.1 – Glenn – a three-star recruit – is an undersized middle who we absolutely love. She’s fearless and doesn’t hold back. She jumps well and can provide an offensive punch when she’s in. Addison Tindall, OH, Team Pineapple 15 Black – Tindall is a four-star recruit but it wouldn’t be surprising to see her end up as a five-star recruit by the time she reaches the next level. She’s listed at 6-2 but seems to play even longer than that. She can go straight over blocks and can hammer balls at times. Navea Gauthier, OH, Far Out 15 Black – A four-star recruit, Gauthier is one of the best scoring outsides in the Class of 2025. She’s a force anywhere she’s at on the floor and Far Out definitely relies on her to score a lot. Abbigail Pickard, S, Far Out 15 Black – A four-star recruit, Pickard is someone we’ve mentioned before. She’s consistent, rarely missing her mark and she possesses a nice release. Kennedy Johnson, S/RS, Neb Jrs 15 Black – A bit undersized, Johnson fills two roles by setting and hitting. She’s a fun setter with her ability to run tempo and she goes behind her well too. Elena Hoecke, MB, MN Select 15-1 – A 6-2 middle, Hoecke spices up the lineup when she checks in. She can make an impact on both sides with her scoring and blocking. Ava Hunter, S, Asics Munciana 15 Lorax – Hunter is a fluid, smooth setter who can run tempo on any set. This three-star recruit also moves the ball around well and gets her hitters involved. Lauren Buchanan, OH, Alabama Perf 15 Red – Buchanan is a six-rotation glue piece. She’s the team’s go-to hitter and provides stability and steadiness on the outside. Bella Bullington, OH, SPVB 15 Elite – Bullington has a cannon for an arm. She’s smooth and fluid and is a huge threat on the outside. She scores lots of points as SPVB surely feeds her. Sydney Davis, MB, GP 15 Rox – Davis is someone to keep watch on. She can get up quickly and has a good arm. We saw her absolutely crush one ball that showed exactly what she’s able to bring on the attack. Ava Antonaros, OH, Infinity 15 Open – Every time we saw Antonaros pass in serve receive she was rarely off target. Allie Grossenbach, RS, Club GSL 15 Andrew – GSL likes to get Grossenbach the ball as much as possible. The lefty has the capability to score in bunches. Charlotte Bell, MB, Academy 15 Diamond – Bell is a difference maker across the front row. She provides high-level offense with her height and ability to put the ball down. Hazel Alevok, MB, Wildfire Corey 15 – We like to identify future prospects and that’s exactly what Alevok is. It’s our first time seeing the 6-4 freshman and she’s much more than a tall body. She can score and has huge upside when it comes to the next level. Reagan Jansen, OH, Kairos 17 Adidas – Jansen has
