Girls Dream Team of the Week: Cook, Edwardss, Walker, Chambless, Ocampo, Farnworth, Sorenson, Strenger, Sims, Matthews

Each week during the club season, VolleyballMag.com recognizes a Dream Team of eight girls volleyball players (15s to 18s age groups) who were standouts the weekend before.
The team, most weeks, will consist of the following:
Setter or S/RS
Setter, S/RS or RS
OH
OH
MB

Libero
DS

This week, being the first week after 18s Junior Nationals and the final national qualifier for the younger ages, nominees were a little sparser. So we decided to put them ALL on the Dream Team this week! All are deserving!

Note to coaches and directors: while there is no science to how we choose members of our Dream Team, performing on bigger stages will give players an edge, as will nomination forms that describe with specificity how well a player performed the previous weekend.
