2024s from Red Rock Rave

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The adage of hurry up and wait can be found with 2024 California athletes at the Red Rock Rave event.  A rally is so quick, but each phase only lasts a mere second or two.  To get from point to point is really is learned and trained ability.  These athletes, each in their own way, made great spoke-hub movement throughout a rally.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><br><strong>Madison Johnson</strong> (2024) | OH | FORZA ONE<br>A 3 Rotation outside, Madison Johnson, is excellent at the concept of slow to fast.  To a casually watching eye there will be little expectation that Johnson would put the pace on the ball that she does.  She uses long strides all through the court that is especially beneficial playing a shallow left front defense and taking in inside out transition approach.<br><br><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='159533' first='Isabel' last='Clark']</strong> (2024) | OH | Momentous<br>With a great arm, [player_tooltip player_id='159533' first='Isabel' last='Clark'] can really make a blocker have to work hard to maintain an unbreakable block.  Clark can be seen taking a wide approach with a less is more mindset.  With that mindset, she does great seeing and anticipating where the ball will go next.<br><br><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='223312' first='Tessa' last='Hurley']</strong> (2024) | L/DS | Seal Beach<br>Being a fearless libero is something that is innate and [player_tooltip player_id='223312' first='Tessa' last='Hurley'], while standing in on an overpass, shows that trait.  She reads hits well and is seemingly right there on short tips up the sideline.  When called upon to bump set, Hurley chooses to perform that skill by swinging her arms to guide a set to a hitter.<br><br><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='162782' first='Sofia' last='Williams'] </strong>(2024) | RS | WAVE<br>A 6 rotation rightside, [player_tooltip player_id='162782' first='Sofia' last='Williams'], uses all of her arm to generate a long timely swing with great pace.  Along with her playing six rotations, she is versatile in the frontrow by playing rotations on both the left- and rightside.  When blocking, Williams keeps distance away from the net allowing her to press low across the net.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='317790' first='Ellery' last='Singleton']</strong> (2024) | S | Absolute<br>The 5-1 setter, [player_tooltip player_id='317790' first='Ellery' last='Singleton'], is a great example of a setter that uses her body to set the ball.  For outside sets, she gets full use of all shoulder muscles.  For bumpsets, she really gets her core involved to almost force the ball up to her intended target.   </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='161291' first='Ruby' last='Ennis']</strong> (2024) | S | COAST<br>The 6-2 setter, [player_tooltip player_id='161291' first='Ruby' last='Ennis'], has active feet that creates great potential for an excellent range of settable passes.  Consequently, her out of system sets to the outside appear to be the most precisely located sets in her repertoire.  Watch out if she begins the game serving as the standing float serve from Ennis will be driven deep.   </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
