Jada Calvin Jada Calvin 5'9" | OH South | 2023 State OH – 5’9 OH – Wiloughby South HS/ Rockcity National
Jada was able to elevate and hit a nice high ball that was hard for the blockers to get their hands on. She was able to hit cross court as well as down the line. A fun player to watch for this club season.
Destiney Goss Destiney Goss 5'10" | MB Maple Heights | 2023 State OH – 5’9 – MH Maple Heights HS/Buckeye Fire
The hitters were having a hard time getting the balls across the net with Destiney in the front row. She was great at tracking the ball and being in the right place at the right time. She has a fast approach and can get off the floor quickly for an attack. Her transition on and off the net looked effortless.
Ashley Walker Ashley Walker 5'10" | OH Sycamore | 2023 State OH – 5’10 OH – Sycamore HS/Ohio Premier Volleyball Club
Ashley was well rounded and controlled the court in the front and back row. She had great form when passing and could get her feet to the ball fast making her passes right to target. She had a great cross court shot that was hard to defend.
Class of 2023 Setters and DS/Liberos that stood out. In alphabetical order.
Sydney Conin Sydney Conin 5'2" | DS/L Vicksburg | 2023 State OH – 5’2 DS/L – Vicksburg HS/Redline
A very defensive player, able to get her hands on just about everything. She was able to serve and was not afraid to take a hard swing from the back row.
Brooke Heisroth– 5’6 DS/L – Green HS/Elite Sports Ohio
Brooke was able to pass a high in system ball that made it easy for the setter to get her hands on. She was a very vocal player. Kept things running smoothly in the back row. Fun Player to watch.
Maria Insana Maria Insana 5'3" | DS/L Kenston | 2023 State OH – 5’3 DS/L Kenston HS/Rock City
Definitely one of the more aggressive players this weekend. She was not afraid to get on the ground and go after the ball. A very fun player to watch, full of energy and athleticism.
Jalynn West Jalynn West 5'10" | S Coshocton | 2023 State OH – 5’10 Setter – Coshocton HS/ Kids America Volleyball Club
You could see the experience in this setter. She was calm on the court but quick to make smart plays. She was able to communicate with her hitters to know just the right set to give them. With being one of the taller setters, she was an effective blocker as well.
There were too many talented players at this expo to list them all. This was just a few that got our attention. Keep an eye out in the upcoming weeks/months as we jump into the club season. We will continue to highlight the top prospects as we see them.
