Small School Stat Stuffers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We love to see players at schools in smaller divisions put up big numbers, there are great players in the 1B, 2B, and 1A levels throughout the state. Middles putting up huge blocks, and they might be a leader in digs playing all 6 rotations too! The best athletes may be staying on the court and being called upon to do a bit more than a school with more depth. That creates some great numbers, and we are checking on some of the best below.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>If you have stats that are amazing for your players, at any classification in Washington, reach out with a message on Twitter! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_634de9e0b86fd","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["97262"],"_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":"The Republic Tigers are in good shape any time they get the ball to Short in the middle.

It may only count for one point, but it's a point that has no statistical chance to be scored by the opposing team. Even if a team somehow throws a free ball over, someone might net on the other team or just plain miss an easy pass. Aces- nada.
