Day 2 competition at the Sunshine Volleyball Classic for the 13-15s definitely did not disappoint! Electric action with bids on the line made every match entertaining to say the least. The final day will be fun to see who comes to perform and ultimately to see who punches their tickets for Chicago this summer! But first lets get to Show Stoppers from Day 2.
Day 2 Show Stoppers
Leah Stickney OH A5 13 Karen: Stickney has a fearless swing with the power and finesse to score against any block.
Bethany Benjamin OH A5 13 Karen: Benjamin puts so much pressure on the block and defense with her ability to swing line or split the block.
Avery Brown S Mintonette Sports m31: Brown has strong hands and a high release point, which allows her to set from anywhere on the court regardless of the pass.
Elianiz Rodriquez OH OT 13 O Felix: Rodriquez has a heavy hand and when she connects it is scary.
Jazzlyn Hepburn MB AP 14 Adidas: Hepburn is an undersized middle who jumps well. Combined with a nice swing, it led to some impressive kills when her number was called.
Susan Hudgins OH AP 14 Adidas: Hudgins is a HUGE outside hitter who connects incredibly well consistently.
Caitlin Crino S Tribe 14 Elite Cardinal: Crino is a calm, yet fierce leader on the court. She also shows consistency with her location when setting.
Jordin Southall OH GP 15 Rox: Southall, a 3-star recruit, was hammering balls on the outside today, literally.
Katie Raymer L Triangle 15 Black: Raymer is a flyer in the backcourt. Her game will just keep getting better and better.
Eva Long S Legacy 15-1 Adidas: Long, a 3-star recruit, is a 5-1 setter who runs an aggressive offense.
Meredith Martin S Legacy 15-1 Adidas: A 4-star recruit, Martin was solid in the backcourt all day long. From serve receive, to defense, to setting, Martin was smooth and scrappy.
Isabella Johnson RS Top Select 15 Elite: Johnson was a great blocker with a whip off an arm.
Londyn Stone OH AVC CLE 15 Red: Stone caught my attention with her incredible jump serve. She is an undersized outside who isn’t afraid to swing against big blocks.
Layla Hoying OH Mintonette Sports – m.51: Hoying, a 4-star recruit, was hammering away on the outside.
Sara Snowbarger OH Mintonette Sports – m.51: While Hoying might be the OH1 on the court, Snowbarger, a 3-star recruit, did a great job defensively and swinging with aggression.
