Scouting Report

Triangle Boys 18 Black is one of the top teams in the country for last 4 years. Led by one of the top recruits in 2026 class, Thomas Demps. Boys are playing together for 5-6 years with the same head coach Mike Webster. This team won AAU National 16 Open division in 2024 and took #5 in 17 Open in 2025. They are a dangerous offensive and defensive unit that should be scouted carefully by opposing coaches.

Competitive Level: National-level contender

Play Style: Team is playing 5-1 most of the time resorting to 6-2 from time to time.

Strengths:

Significant size in the middle position with multiple D1 quality middle blockers on roster
Two dominant Outside hitters committed to top D1 programs
4 NTDP players on the roster
Libero is exceptional in serve receiving and digging
Agressive serving
Middles run slides

Areas for Improvement:

Opposite hitters getting less sets compare to other positions
Setting might be too predictable in the key moments leaning towards outside hitters
Serve receive might be an area to exploit when pressure is on outside hitters
