Northwest Power League Standouts: Liberos

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The libero's played big at the NWPL in Spokane. The defensive standout's passed nails in serve receive, made the crucial digs to keep rallies alive and served extremely tough. Several of the top clubs across the state participated in the three-event series, and the talent was deep in the top brackets. Here are five libero's that caught our eye over the weekend. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Sophia Prock","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2023","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'5u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"32926","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Mercer Island","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"NPJ Seattle","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"The Mercer Island senior makes quick, decisive moves in serve receive. She can identify balls in the seam and angle her platform to send a solid pass to her setter.  Prock has strong enough hands to handle serves at or above her chest and identifies short serves easily. She is all in when she reads a tip, charging hard to make the play, and uses the correct hand to keep the ball off the floor.rnrnu003ca href=u0022https://www.ncsasports.org/womens-volleyball-recruiting/washington/mercer-island/mercer-island-high-school1/sophie-procku0022u003eProck Highlightsu003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["266199"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_player_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"The Renovators 16 Kari libero continues to grow in her defensive role. Joswick shows a natural talent for angling her platform to deliver the most accurate pass possible, and will make sure she has her hips at target. She fought off hard shots down the line, and covered the middle tip- either running through or getting in the ground to dig it out. RVC Kari posted two wins on Sunday versus NPJ and WVBA behind her excellent defensive work. Joswick is beginning to assert herself, cutting off serves and shots out of her initial zone, and delivering a good pass when she does.rnrn[embed]https://youtu.be/Hb0m9HJBoik[/embed]","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":347320,"_player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"Neviah Johnson","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"5'7u0022","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"32926","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"Auburn Mountainview","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"NPJ Seattle","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_2_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Johnson has all the quickness you love to see out of the libero position. She is agile and strong and can use her hands or platform to pass an accurate ball. Johnson was dialed in when covering her attackers, sitting right on the net and popping up balls NPJ opponents had blocked back at her. One more thing to love, she will step in and set the second ball accurately with her hands, a benefit of having played the position before.rnrnu003ca href=u0022http://www.hudl.com/v/2KF26Tu0022u003eNeviah Johnson highlightsu003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":347361,"_player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"Danikah Dietrich","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"5'6u0022","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"32926","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"Chelan","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"Kahiau","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_3_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"Kahiau, KB Beach, and Chelan High School continue to produce excellent volleyball players, and Dietrich is no exception. She can perform as a libero, or attacker, and is versatile, tough, and skilled. Libero is perhaps her most natural spot, but she is an excellent beach player as well.

She is detailed in her serve receive, with a sound platform and high volleyball IQ. If there is any chance she might be able to get to a ball, she will always go, and often makes an incredible one-handed stab.
