Day 1 Show Stoppers
Carsyn Chitty L Mintonette Sports m31: Chitty did well in holding it down in serve receive and hustling all over the court to keep balls in play.
Isabel Penrose OH OT 13 T Tabitha: Penrose is a firecracker on the outside with her speed and quickness. She also has a whip of an arm.
Jaelyn Jordan S KC MAVS 13-1: Jordan is quick and gets to the ball well. She also has a great touch and directs her offense well.
Marlie Smith S Legacy 14-1 Adidas: Smith is steady dishing her team. She has a strong group of hitters to work with and she can get all of them involved when in system.
Isabel Incinelli MB WPVC 14 Armour Black: Noble brings a level of physicality to the front row. She also delivered a few impressive kills.
Jada Constanza OH HIGHVOLTAGE1415COLLEGEPRE: Constanza helps keep the offense ticking across the front row. She’s also a strong contributor in the back row where she was making nice digs and swinging well from middle back.
Leilani Lawrence OH OT 14 T Laura: Lawrence, a 3-star recruit, is a strong hitter who can unleash big kills at times from the front or back row.
LK Lamonica S A5 15-2 Victor: Lamonica brings fire to the court. She was also delivering with consistent location when setting.
Ava Castro OH Jupiter Elite 15 E: Castro is a valuable six-rotation outside. She has strong passing skills and though she’s a bit undersized she was aggressive with her swings.
Rylan Miller L OT 15 J Will: A 3-star recruit, Miller is a fiery libero with lots of spirit. She’s also quick and able to cover a lot of court.
Julia Schmidt OH Miami Hype 15N Josh: Schmidt is going to be fun to watch moving forward. She has a long frame and swings well on the outside. Her jump serve is no joke either.
Lara Matta OH Tampa North 15 Black: An all-around contributor, Matta is a smart hitter who can tool blocks and consistently put pressure on defenses with her ability to swing away.
Destiny Wiggins L Wildfire 15N Ore: Wiggins is a quick libero who makes up ground in a hurry. She was showing her hustle by running down balls all over the court and also doing a good job covering touches.
Bennett Raterman MB HPSTL 15 Royal: A 5-star athlete, Raterman is a beast at the net on defense. And let’s just say that saying she is an offensive force is an understatement.
Giavanna Artiles OH Tribe 15 Elite Cardinal: Artiles is one of the main offensive weapons for Tribe. She was swinging well with her long arm and high contact point.
