She has the perfect balance of scrappy play, ball control, and court awareness that make her a lights-out libero. Her ability to read opposing offenses keeps her a step ahead of her opponents. She is clean, quick, and precise. Maddie is incredibly consistent and keeps even the toughest balls alive.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["388453"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"Ambryn exploded onto my radar at the Prep Dig Battle at the Bay. She is a lethal lefty right side hitter that has a high contact point and a lightning-fast arm swing. Her approach is explosive and she was consistently hitting over blockers. Ambryn is a go-to hitter and has huge potential for success at the next level. She puts up a massive block as well and is key on both offense and defense.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["388457"],"_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":"Eden is a middle to watch in this class. Her potential is near infinite, and she proves it time and time again on the court. She is powerful and is already seeing and reading setters at a high level. Eden keeps improving and impressing every time she steps on the court. She is a middle on the rise in this class.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["388468"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"Hannah is incredibly talented and stands out because she takes control of the net. She is physical and powerful and is a leader on the court. Her blocking is tough to get past, and she is a great first line of defense for any team she is on. She can go head-to-head with the top middles in the state and have a huge impact, even as a young athlete.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["388556"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"Macy protects the back court ferociously. She has been so impressive throughout the past club season and over the summer as well. She is quick and fearless across the back court. Macy is equally as impressive in serve receive as she is in coverage and scramble plays. She elevates those around her and is a great team player as well.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["249633"],"_player_evaluations_5_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"Anya is an athlete who has exploded onto my radar this year. She is consistent and powerful. Anya is a very talented setter but can play on the right side as well. She is an athlete who can play all six rotations, either running a 5-1 or as a setter in the back row and hitter in the front row. She is motivated and competitive on the court and can be relied upon as a leader and to perform under pressure.","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_6_player":["249632"],"_player_evaluations_6_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_6_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_6_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"Amara is another one of the many talented liberos in this class. She is consistent and confident on the court. She is very relaxed in defense and never misses a beat on the court. No ball can ever be considered down when she is in the back row, and she is great at controlling the chaos of the sport.","_player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":7,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64f015769dced"} /-->
