<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Liberos are sometimes the unsung heroes on a successful squad. They are fast, physical, and take care of a large portion of the court while making sure their team stays in system. It's only because of them that attackers get some of the opportunities they do. Everyone loves to celebrate the big kill but I love seeing teams celebrating the huge defensive plays that are made. I personally love seeing a libero that is reading the other side like she has a crystal ball and she makes most plays look routine. The following are some liberos that caught my eye during the Prep Dig Chi-Town Classic.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

Abbott has this super power but I’m not sure if she has a magnetic ability and just super speed but she gets her hands on the most impossible attacks.  She is simply relentless on defense and has great form when passing.

Evaluations are normally subscriber-only but when an athlete subscribes, theirs becomes free for all readers. Subscribing doesn't change who the Scout covers, it changes who gets to see it.
