Throw predictability to the wind. There was no way of calling shots as the 14s and 15s divisions reached their pinnacles Thursday at the USAV GJNC in Indy. The unpredictable and unbelievable conclusions to those divisions was something remarkable to witness.

The lone at-large team in 15 Open in Alamo 15 Premier caught a wave and didn’t stop riding it until the championship trophy and gold medal were in hand. It was one of the more memorable performances in a very long time, as Alamo knocked off top-seeded Arizona Storm 15 Thunder in the final. In 14 Open, Mintonette Sports m.41 dug the deepest and wasn’t going to be denied the top spot on the podium. The Ohio club capped its storybook day by downing Flyers 14 Anthony in the championship match.

We’ll have separate articles on both winners, as well as recaps on other division winners in the next day or two. For now, we present our final Show Stoppers from the two divisions featuring the players who stood out the most on Day 4.

Keoni Williams, MB, Flyers 14 Anthony – You’ll be hearing Williams’ name for years to come. At 6-3, she’s a serious presence in the middle. At this age group, she’s virtually impossible to stop when the set is there and she’s able to get extended.
