Five of this Season’s Stellar Setters

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Setting is undoubtedly a challenging position: Setters are the quarterbacks of their teams, directing each play and running the offense. Without a solid setter, a team cannot be as effective offensively. There are several standout setters this season without whom their teams may not be as successful. Some of those setters are highlighted in the nonexclusive list below. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_6354b7b60b403","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["161822"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Not only is sophomore Carle the starting setter for the currently undefeated Crusaders, who hold a 29-0 overall record and a 12-0 6A league record, but she also leads the state in total assists.
