Carrejo is very smooth on the ball and likes to push the tempo on offense, especially at the pins, and set against the flow, but also does excellent work with her ball distribution. A player with a very high volleyball IQ, she always makes the right calls and will be rarely seen making a mistake. A very athletic player too, Carrejo is also a solid blocker and makes good plays on defense.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63fcd4cfbeae1"} /-->

She's only a few months removed from guiding Prestonwood Christian Academy to a TAPPS state title and continues to get better. Cook is incredibly athletic and uses that to her favor, making plays not many others would thanks to her jumping ability, body control and excellent footwork. She's also very technical and intelligent and remains consistent and efficient while running her team's offense.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63fcd4cfbeb91"} /-->

She's great at running the team's offense as besides having a very clean touch on the ball, she's always very accurate and smart with her ball distribution. Gray is also a strong offensive player as she jumps really well, hits very sharp angles and can swing with impressive precision from the right and the left.

She got to play among older players because of her great technique and impressive physical tools and those continue to be the main assets of her game. McCarroll is very tall and long but is very fluid on the court, moving well and consistently making good plays when it comes to setting her teamates. Her higher contact point when setting gives her an advantage and she uses it to push the tempo when she can. McCarroll is also an excellent defender from the right, generating several transition plays for her team.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63fcd4cfbecf3"} /-->

We recently had her in one of our Prep Dig Top 250 Expos in Houston and she made an excellent impression on everyone with her solid game. Bruntmyer has some of the best hands in the entire state and it feels like she can hit the same spot with her sets all day long. She's also very athletic and that shows when she's tracking passes and playing defense as she's able to get to balls not many others would. Bruntmyer also works very hard on the court and offers very positive leadership to her teammates.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63fcd4cfbed72"} /-->
