Girls Dream Team of the Week: Harris, Smith, Reeves, Witherspoon, Taylor, Kelly, Chadwick, Falk

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
MB
Libero
DS
We include our eight-player Dream Team below, as well as others we considered, based exclusively upon nominations received. This week’s Dream Team will include a third outside, to take the place of a DS, as we received no DS nominees.

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.

OH: Maya Witherspoon, 6-0 sophomore, Rockwood Thunder 17 Elite (MO) – Rockwood got its bid this weekend at Windy City. Not only was the sophomore Witherspoon a dominant attacker, as usual, but she was outstanding defensively both in the back row and getting blocks and touches at the net.
