Undefeated to the gold bracket finals, 3 days of play and only tested a couple times. This will be a match that will be remembered by everyone for quite a while. 3 days of hard work, undefeated all the way to the gold bracket final, only to let a Junior Olympic Qualification barely slip through our fingers. Tired legs and young players combined as our serve receive passing faded away from us. Controlling the game in spurts we couldn't quite pull it…
In the semi's and cruising, until we ran into Southwest Asics and their 6'8" middle blocker, yes, a 16 year old girl who was 6'8" and played middle blocker front row and left back in the back row.

Unfortunately for us, with a defensive sub for the 6'8" middle, Southwest Asics bounced back and gave us a taste of our own medicine…
16Elite after going undefeated through 2 days of play gets the crossover bye into the gold bracket and holds onto their #4 seed. Their first round match against Nebraska Elite turns out to be a great one, as the size and athleticism of our outside hitters forces Nebraska to bench their #1 hitter in search of a bigger blocker. After steamrolling Nebraska in this first game, 25-12, the blocking sub made by them helps a little but is still no match for…

Every year we do our best to get as much video on our top players as possible. With such a powerful tool right here for us to use, we would like to take advantage of it everyday if possible. From filming training reps, to drills and scrimmages, and match play and tournaments, we capture everything we can, reviewing as much as time permits. Laurel has continued to set the standard at our Elite club and watches almost as much film as our Elite coaches. Professional, Collegiate, and tons of her own game film, Laurel is already a true student of the game and of athletic training. As talented as they come and with intelligence that is off the charts Laurel will continue to excel at every level of play.
