20 Athletes, All 2023 From The Midwest – Part 2

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The high school season is just about ready to get started, and while we have a little down time from being in the gym here at prep dig, I'd like to go through my notes over the past year.  Sometimes I have so many notes, I just can't get them all into articles immediately following an event, so I pick a time to find just the right piece for the player.  Since the 2023's will be kicking off their senior season, let's look at twenty 2023's who are all from the Midwest.   </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_62eebe6e84af2","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["214359"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Kakes is a six-rotation outside who moves really well across the court, and you can find her anywhere the ball is going.  She's a point scorer with a strong swing, can be the outlet out of the back row, or executes with a crafty roll just over the block.  Kakes is a bright spark for her team and a consistent force for her One Wisconsin team.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["159655"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"I really enjoy the energy Uphoff gives as a defender and captain of defense.  She moves well and gets a lot of impressive touches on the ball. Uphoff has a strong, but calm, platform and confident body language. She moves efficiently and leads Marshfield in their scrappy style of play. u003cstrongu003eu003cspan style=u0022font-style: inherit;u0022u003e u003c/spanu003eu003c/strongu003e","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["108426"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"I got to see Deery in action at the Mizuno Showcase in early March, and she knows how to make her presence known.  She gets off the floor quickly, makes herself available, and executes the attack extremely well.  Deery is a powerful and natural player who can move well from pin to pin.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["149057"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"Rochon is super athletic and strong, so playing on the outside she is a solid, efficient, and legit scorer.  She gets good elevation and has the ability to get a high, solid contact and good swing.  Rochon is consistent and effective in all 6 rotations.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["214360"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"Andreae is a lefty right side hitter who can take a really heavy swing that is difficult to make a decent play on.   She is an attacker who puts a ton of speed on the ball, her skill set makes her really difficult to defend, and she can score points in different ways from different places on the net.  She just knows how to get the job done.  u003cstrongu003eu003cspan style=u0022font-style: inherit;u0022u003e u003c/spanu003eu003c/strongu003e","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["91871"],"_player_evaluations_5_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"Ilkka takes on senior leadership for Pacelli as an electric hitter with an electric personality.

She is definitely a good mix between the feisty player who has a nasty serve and finds ways to score any way she can and the player that stays cool and calm in the tight situations while keeping the momentum moving in the right direction.u003cstrongu003eu003cspan style=u0022font-style: inherit;u0022u003e u003c/spanu003eu003c/strongu003e","_player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":7,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview"} /-->
