They performed well throughout the regular club season and placed in the top 15 for Sunshine Classic Regional Qualifier back in March for the 15 Open division. Tribe 15 Dean is a must-see team at AAU Nationals this summer.
Natalie Depaula – 5’9” – S, Opp – Class of 2024 – Boca Raton High
Natalie Depaula is arguably one of the best hitters on the team and one of the main setters. As such, Natalie is constantly moving fast on the court to either make a perfect set or get a kill of her own on the second or third contact. Since she is left-handed, her ability to take a powerful swing on the second contact is superb. Natalie is definitely a top player for her age, and a player to keep your eye on.
Sarah Brodner – 6’4” – OH, Opp – Class of 2024 – Jupiter Community High
This outside hitter has plenty of length at the net on blocking and attacking. At 6’4”, Sarah literally towers over the competition and takes big swings from either pin. With her height and speed, she contacts high and can hit straight down. Sarah has the potential to be a top hitter for Florida as she continues to develop throughout her high school career.
Adrianna Bridges – 6’3” – MB – Class of 2024 – North Broward Prep
As one of the starting middles for this team, Adrianna has a big presence on the court and at the net. Adrianna is a true middle blocker; her quick approaches and high hands make her attacks and blocks so successful. On the net, she has lots of options out of the middle and right side and has a great cross-body swing.
Emma O’Keeffe – 6’0” – MB – Class of 2024 – Cardinal Gibbons
Emma O’Keeffe is a fantastic hitter from any position on the net but does amazing things on the right pin. She can run quick slides and block from the middle or pin with great success. Her greatest strength is that she jumps to contact on top of the ball, sending it straight down.
Mila Micunovic – 6’3” – MB, Opp – Class of 2024 – Dwyer High
Mila Micunovic is just getting started as a dominant hitter on the right side. She can run slides and other quick hits from the middle or right pin and puts a lot of power behind the ball. Mila’s development in the last year has been fun to watch and will continue to be an exciting journey.
