Continue ReadingThe final of our Missouri teams in the 15-age division will compete in the Liberty and American pools starting next Monday in Indiana. Two Mizuno Club North teams will take action along with two teams hailing from the Springfield area in Apex and 417. Invasion and KC Legends both from the eastern side of the Kansas City area will round out the teams we preview today.
Liberty
Mizuno Club North 15-1 went to the Mideast Qualifier to earn their Liberty bid earlier this season. Their 10-0 run gave them their ticket to nationals and they hope to build on that after a 53-17 season to date. Ava Glaeser will help lead this team into their championship week.
We jump from the Northland of Kansas City to the east side of the city with Invasion 15 Black. They took care of business at Northern Lights to win one of the two available bids. At 26-17 on the year, they are primed for a long run in the Liberty Division. Middle Riley Hayes has been good this year along with OH Ellison Noll and S Madison Harris.
The final representative from the Show-Me State will be Apex 15-1. They went to Show Me and walked away with an invite to nationals. They are showing a 29-14 record and were competitive during HOA Power League action. We really like southpaw setter Hannah Gardner. She is offensive-minded and has a good swing on the second ball. Libero Macy Humble is good in her role. Addyson Rebmann and Isabella Breuer from the pin and middle put up a good block and are able to score in system.
American
KC Legends 15-1 and 417 Juniors 15-1 were able to get region bids. Mizuno Club North 15-2 grabbed their bid at the Far Western Qualifier. Rockwood Thunder 15 Navy is the Gateway Region rep in this division. The Legends are a small local club housed in the Blue Springs area of Kansas City. Katie Vargo is a spark plug defensively for this team. Rylee Krause runs the show from the setter position. Jordyn Krebs is a long pin capable of affecting the game with both her offense and defense.
417 Juniors have a posted record of 28-15. Chloe Burke is a dynamic middle who has a high IQ. She has a powerful swing and will read the defense to find the open spot on the floor. Tara Venable is a high-power pin that can deliver.
Club North took care of things out West to earn their trip to the big dance. They sport a 28-12 record in reported matches to Indy. Jameah Chappell brings length to the front row from the middle position. Sailor Bane is an experienced setter. Lauren Smith can fill it up from the pin. Also, watch for Myesa Camacho to affect things in the libero jersey.
Rockwood Thunder will represent the St. Louis region in the American after taking away the region bid. Clare Carroll Clare Carroll 5'8" | S Whitfield | 2025 State MO and Mallory Sell are a couple of players who can be key to this team’s success.
Freedom
Core STL U15 Navy will go to war in the Freedom. They bring an impressive 43 wins into the championships. Their resume includes 2nd place at JVA World Challenge and 7th place at Nebraska AAU Grand Prix. Setter Cameron Kokmetscher will run the offense and look to feed middle Madelyn Clarke and pin Natalie Frazier. Libero Taylor Holdmeier will look to keep the team in system.
