<p>The season is winding down but the energy was ramping up at this years GJNC. The talent was unbelievable on every court. Big swing and big blocks, I couldn't get enough. The Ohio players came to play and they didn't disappoint. The following players stood out and made a huge impact on their teams.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Top Ohio Players 16s</strong></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="196509" first="Ava" last="Kanj"]</strong> - <em>Maverick 16 Elite</em></p> <p>A strong middle with a fast arm-swing and even faster feet. She was able to go pin to pin with ease and put up a solid block, frustrating the other team. She had a great connection with her setter allowing her to score consistently for her team.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="197061" first="Madison" last="Cugino"]</strong> - <em>[program_tooltip program_id='431555' first='Mintonette' last='Sports'] m.61</em></p> <p>Fast, smart and energetic, she was able to get to nearly any ball on the court. She moved well laterally and had great placement of the ball when setting an out of system ball. A great communicator on the court and kept the energy high which helped out during those long rallies.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Lindy Kerchenski</strong> - <em>RockC 16-1</em></p> <p>Kerchenski was a setter that could place the ball just where her hitters needed it even when the pass wasn't quite there. She was smart and could see the court, tipping at just the right moments. She was a clear leader on this team and a big part in their wins.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="139282" first="Lily" last="Barron"]</strong> - <em>[program_tooltip program_id='431555' first='Mintonette' last='Sports'] m.61</em></p> <p>A big presence at the net, blocking and hitting. With a fast approach, she can elevate and really put some power behind the ball. A go-to player for this Mintonette team and I'm sure there will be big things to come for her.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="114581" first="Gabrielle" last="Jones"]</strong> - <em>[program_tooltip program_id='431827' first='Elevation' last=''] 16 Butcher</em></p> <p>A strong pin hitter with a huge vertical making it easy for her to get up and press over the net for some game changing blocks. She was aggressive on defense, with quick hands shutting down the overpasses and tips from the other side of the net. Equally as efficient on offense, getting up and putting down some big kills. A great player to have on any team.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Savana Gurr</strong> - <em>[program_tooltip program_id='431555' first='Mintonette' last='Sports'] m.62</em></p> <p>Savana was a ray of sunshine on this team, always positive and energetic. A strong defensive and offensive player, getting up and blocking then releasing and making herself available for her setter. She had an aggressive serve, keeping the other team out of system all while keeping that smile on her face. Such a fun player to watch.</p>
