This is a really aggressive squad, tight battle with Rapid Fire <a href="https://x.com/hashtag/pdstatelineslam?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#pdstatelineslam</a> <a href="https://t.co/pdaAwESw1p">pic.x.com/pdaAwESw1p</a></p> — Chris Fitzgerald (@PrepDigChris) <a href="https://x.com/PrepDigChris/status/1490113708076548098?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 6, 2022</a></blockquote> <p><script async src="https://platform.x.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p> <p><strong>Middle Blockers: </strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">College coaches are always looking for middle blockers, especially ones who can do a variety of things from taking away space from opposing attackers, running multiple tempos, and being efficient.  When it comes to touching high, <strong>Gabrielle Peter</strong> plays extremely high above the net.  The Top Flight 18 Elite middle is listed at touching at 10 feet and after seeing her play live, I definitely see it.  Another athlete who is playing real high is <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="149575" first="Sierra" last="Pertzborn"]</strong> from Capital 17 Adidas, she has made plenty of gains this past year and has a high ceiling at the next level.  A new athlete on the radar is <strong>Lauren Grier</strong> of Impact 17 National.  Grier had a huge Chi-Town Classic where she was automatic on the slide.  She was scoring plenty of points and showed a ton of athleticism. </span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Pin Hitters: </strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Plenty of attackers who know how to put a ball away for teams in the Prep Dig Circuit.  Milwaukee Sting 17 White kicked off the Prep Dig Resolution with a final four finish where <strong>Kenna Kornely</strong> and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="149579" first="Ella" last="Kern"]</strong> provided big swings where they can attack with power, but also hold their own in the backrow.  Wisconsin Ice 17 National has two big time pin attackers in <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="149694" first="Samantha" last="Perlberg"]</strong> and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="175530" first="Emily" last="Brenner"].</strong>  Perlberg plays a really solid middle back defense while Brenner is really physical in the front line.  Impact 17 National has two Fox Valley Lutheran athletes in <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="91931" first="Kate" last="Henze"]</strong> and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="119397" first="Samantha" last="Kempinger"]</strong> who can put a hurt on the ball and score plenty of points.  They were runner up in the Chi-Town Classic 17s Division.  FC Elite 17 Navy has two powerful swings on the pin with <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="82921" first="Kaitlin" last="Schulz"] and [player_tooltip player_id="119431" first="Finley" last="Charapata"]. </strong> Schulz is the six rotation player who can attack from the backrow and Charapata has a heavy swing that makes it tough to keep in system. </span></p> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> <p dir="ltr" lang="en">[player_tooltip player_id="149579" first="Ella" last="Kern"] with a huge kill for <a href="https://x.com/stingvb1988?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@stingvb1988</a> 17 White to hold off a late Ice rally.
