Blaine was always precise, kept all her hitters involved and made excellent choices in big moments of matches. She also contributed a lot with her serving, having long runs from the service line, and played very good defense.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6449de041c3b0"} /--> <!-- wp:image {"id":385369,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepdig.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2023/04/IMG_5828.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-385369" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">TX Legacy 17 Elite vs. Xcel VB 171 Adidas</figcaption></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["194775"],"_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":"Rio was one of the main scorers of her H Skyline 17 White team.
