Class of 2023 All-State Nominations – Liberos Vol 1

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 2022 High School season has been amazing so far!  Along with our readers, we have been on pins and needles watching teams battle all season long.  There have been some amazing tournaments and great district battles.  We have been talking to coaches, reading tons of stats, and getting lots of video submissions from parents and players regarding how everyone has fared over the course of the season.  As we are now into the playoffs, we will be discussing some players who are being nominated for our inaugural Prep Dig California All-State Awards.  Our end-of-season awards are going to be different because we are going to consider all divisions/conferences together and pick the best of the best.  The Liberos we will be discussing have been tearing it up and proving themselves all season long with some amazing statistics.  Let's meet some of the nominees:<strong><a href="https://prepdig.com/player/alyssa-manitzas/"></a></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='160934' first='Clara' last='Cronin']&nbsp;[2023] 5-6 Libero (HS: Menlo-Atherton/Club: Encore/Verbal: Uncommitted)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Clara is currently an unranked prospect in the Prep Dig California State Rankings for the class of 2023, but what I have seen this high school season, she should have no problem being ranked when I update them soon.&nbsp; She plays at Menlo-Atherton High School and also for Encore volleyball club. &nbsp;She must have a ball magnet in her platform because I have not seen someone be able to get as many balls up as her that are well outside of her zone.&nbsp; It seems as if her body just knows the perfect timing to sprawl out and save a ball from hitting the floor.&nbsp; Any team that she is on will have a great fighting chance because she won't allow her team to not be in a rally.&nbsp; If the ball is anywhere in the general vicinity of her, she will touch it.&nbsp; Her senior season was a fantastic one as she tallied 905 digs, 832 service receptions, and 51 aces.&nbsp; She is amazing to watch and any volleyball spectator will be in awe of how she plays the game.&nbsp; Please help us congratulate her on earning a nomination for an All-State Award.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Rebeca Freitas&nbsp;[2023] 5-3 Libero (HS: Berean Christian/Verbal:&nbsp;Uncommitted)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Rebeca is currently an unranked prospect in the Prep Dig California State Rankings for the class of 2023.&nbsp; She is a fantastic back row floor general for Berean Christian high school. &nbsp;During her senior season she has tallied 810 digs and 563 service receptions.&nbsp; She has also added 50 aces on the year.&nbsp; She ahs hands like a setter and uses them to handle overhead digs with ease out of the left back area.&nbsp; I love how fast she is on the court in both defensive transition and how she covers all of her hitters.&nbsp; Her posture and platform are two things that keep her super consistent in both serve receive and while digging.&nbsp; She keeps her platform very still both at and during contact, which helps deliver perfect passes to her setter.&nbsp; We are proud to have her listed as a nominee.&nbsp; Please help us congratulate her on earning an All-State Nomination.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Phoebe Constable [2023] 5-8 Libero (HS: Buchanan/Club: Valley Volleyball Academy/Verbal: Uncommitted)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Phoebe is currently an unranked prospect in the 2023 Class according to our Prep Dig California State Rankings.&nbsp; She is a fantastic libero at Buchanan High School and also for Valley Volleyball Academy.&nbsp; She has tallied 732 digs, 785 service receptions, and 74 aces during her senior season. &nbsp;She uses her length in the libero position to have a much longer defensive range than most of her competition.&nbsp; I love how she extends that range to touch balls that are well outside of her normal range.&nbsp; She has one of the most solid platforms I have seen in a while.&nbsp; The way she moves on the court is so fluid and fast.&nbsp; We are proud to have her listed as a nominee.&nbsp; Please help us congratulate her on earning an All-State Nomination.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There are many more amazing players that will be nominated.&nbsp;
