On a team of offensive powerhouses, she always has a positive impact and gets the job done. She gets great kills and is very consistent. But at the Pumpkin Spice Slam she took her talent to a new level. She was unstoppable on the right side and brought in massive kill after massive kill. Bella showed why she is one of the best in the state at what she does!</span></p> [caption id="attachment_113154" align="alignright" width="300"]<img class="size-medium wp-image-113154" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pd/uploads/2020/10/E59B8BBF-3773-4F60-B8CC-647F42BDE79A.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="200" /> [player_tooltip player_id="81310" first="Sienna" last="Roling"] - 2022[/caption] <h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">[player_tooltip player_id="81310" first="Sienna" last="Roling"] - Prep Dig Rank #93 - Class of 2022 </span></h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[player_tooltip player_id="81310" first="Sienna" last="Roling"] played outstanding volleyball on Saturday. Her ability to read the opponent’s court is very special. Sienna has a high contact on the ball and a fast swing to finish the job. She put down some amazing kills on Saturday and also excelled at blocking. Sienna is a solid defender and serve receiver as well and has a highly competitive serve. She was a standout athlete at the Pumpkin Spice Slam. </span></p> [caption id="attachment_113164" align="alignleft" width="300"]<img class="size-medium wp-image-113164" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pd/uploads/2020/10/16B18D26-8797-49D3-8E8D-D513A9F9EB03.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="200" /> [player_tooltip player_id="82936" first="Taylor" last="Tetzlaff"] - 2023[/caption] <h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">[player_tooltip player_id="82936" first="Taylor" last="Tetzlaff"] - Prep Dig Rank #42 - Class of 2023 </span></h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Taylor was a breakout star at the Pumpkin Spice Slam. Similar to [player_tooltip player_id="81269" first="Bella" last="Van Lannen"], she is always a solid, powerful,  and reliable athlete for this Kaukauna team, but she had a truly incredible day of volleyball on Saturday. As a sophomore she still has several years left in her high school and club careers and will be an athlete to watch!</span></p> [caption id="attachment_113169" align="alignright" width="300"]<img class="size-medium wp-image-113169" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pd/uploads/2020/10/4744E58E-1C39-4A60-B49C-2DFB360786CA-300x197.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="197" /> [player_tooltip player_id="81305" first="Delaney" last="McIntosh"] - 2022[/caption] <h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">[player_tooltip player_id="81305" first="Delaney" last="McIntosh"] - Prep Dig Rank #87 - Class of 2022 </span></h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Delaney, playing with the Madtown ‘22s team, is a constant force on the court. She plays all six rotations and impresses no matter where she is. Her approach and swing are nothing less than explosive yet she has great control on serve receive. She is a threat in every aspect from serving to defense and of course when she is hitting the ball.</span></p> [caption id="attachment_113158" align="alignleft" width="300"]<img class="size-medium wp-image-113158" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pd/uploads/2020/10/745B9723-6704-4746-8354-72CD781EBEBD-300x197.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="197" /> [player_tooltip player_id="91855" first="Macy" last="Herman"] - 2023[/caption] <h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">[player_tooltip player_id="91855" first="Macy" last="Herman"] - Prep Dig Rank #28 - Class of 2023</span></h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Every time I see Macy play she improves in leaps and bounds. She has always been a talented setter, but her strategy on the court, seeing opponents, and knowing when to set certain hitters has gotten insanely efficient. Macy can move the ball around quickly and efficiently and has become very hard to read. Macy is an athlete to keep on your radar as she continues to develop!</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">These athletes played some truly amazing volleyball at the Pumpkin Spice Slam. They took their already high level of talent to the next level and were relentless throughout the day. </span></p>
