Migliuri attacked as a right side, effectively scoring, providing a strong block, and transitioning seamlessly into her setter position.

The Lake Stevens sophomore served as the team captain for WVBA 15 Adidas, and will only get better training with the high powered Lake Stevens program his fall. She is definitely a player to keep an eye on during her second varsity season with the Vikings.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":2,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64e1602cf0737"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/18266219/64a7bd72478e340b34eb5b7d' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64e1602cf0759"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["434914"],"_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":"Nelson-Hawkins is high energy, with an intuitive feel for defense and being in the correct position as a setter. The Selah junior had an excellent season finding her attackers for CRU, and she will be a huge part of the Selah team as well.

Shockwave was very competitive against high level teams, and we were able to watch Gant operate against Dakine 15 at PNQ. She is an attacker as well as a setter, managing to score and play great defense in the match. She had a great connection with her middles, and played with fire- Gant was a dynamic presence on the court.rnrnu0026nbsp;rnrnhttps://youtu.be/CVKJCURuClY","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["393234"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Mystkowski set for a deep group of attackers this season and showed athleticism and creativity finding her hitters in good matchups. She moves her feet with precision and quickness to be in position to deliver a set with accurate location, and she was able to run a quick offense to her outsides.
