Scouting Report & Photos: North Scott

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>IOWA CITY, Iowa -</strong> If what we saw here at the MVC/MAC Challenge Thursday night is any indication, North Scott is poised for another deep postseason run. The Lady [program_tooltip program_id='431978' first='Lancers' last=''] are ranked No. 3 in Class 4A and certainly look the part. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here are scouting reports and photos for North Scott from the event: </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["215406"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":452559,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"After watching her compete at the high school and club levels during the last year, what sticks out the most to me about Hayes is the ease with which she plays the game. Like, it's not an easy sport, but the Creighton commitment  makes it appear that way. She deftly glides around the court, getting in position to swing from well above the net with power or turning a dig into a usable pass. It's hard to believe she still has two prep seasons remaining. If you're a volleyball fan, be sure to check her out.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["206931"],"_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":452560,"_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":"Like Hayes, Johnson provides a well-rounded skill set that benefits her team all around the court. She contributed more than 100 assists and 100 kills in '22 to go with 86 digs and 12.0 blocks. She swings it well from the right side as a complement to Hayes but can easily transition into setting. That's very unique and very valuable.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["389007"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_player_featured_image":452561,"_player_evaluations_2_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"North Scott is one of those programs that reloads instead of rebuilds, as evidence by reaching the state tournament four years running. Johnson serves as a prime example for this point. The sophomore stepped right into the lineup this season and performs like a seasoned veteran. She can swing it from the outside and also understands the importance of defense when roaming the middle of the net.","_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":452570,"_player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"Emma Schermerhorn","_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":"5'8u0022","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"32561","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"North Scott","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"","_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":"Schermerhorn plays her role very well.
