Listed at 5'10 she is a dynamic setter who can play in a 5-1 and provide a solid block, or play as a dual threat in a 6-2. She will be teamed with another top 10 2026 prospect, outside Addison Connor,  as the Rams chase a state tournament spot in November.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["243691"],"_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":"Gutke has her Skyline team off to a solid start, the 6 foot 3 middle is among the state leaders in blocks as only a sophomore. Her press at the net does more than directly score, it's an intimidation factor that causes errors and easy shots from opposing offenses. Her offense is picking up with increased attempts, with matches of 10 and 14 kills in the last week, and a hitting percentage over .400.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["395703"],"_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":"Carey-Boxley is a high riser and plays much bigger than her listed height. She could transition out to the pin, but is also a very high level basketball prospect. Edmonds-Woodway relies on Carey-Boxley to score, and defend the net with her excellent timing and press. She has been racking up blocks in the early part of the season.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["395704"],"_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":"The sophomore from Bishop Blanchet and WVBA has great size and work ethic as a middle blocker. Slavik has the Bears off to a solid start in the always tough 3A Metro league, and the team has matchups against Bellevue and defending 3A champions Lakeside coming up. The offensive  nuances of the game are on coming into focus for the towering 2026 prospect, expect her to increase her scoring as the season continues.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["249592"],"_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":"Cameron does not get cheated on her swings, she is going to wind up and pound away at the defense. Her approach is urgent and aggressive, and she has enough touch to drop in a soft roll after fully selling a swing to the defense. Cameron is effective from the pipe, driving a tough topspin ball to the corners to score. Prairie and Kelso should be in a familiar race for the Greater St. Helens title, Cameron could be the difference maker in the two regular season matchups.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64e04476c0a10"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/14555070/642c3589f561720eec0101e1' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-650cfef5e4b98"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["249301"],"_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":"Quitquit is the top-ranked setter in the current 2026 rankings, and the SVA and Kennedy Catholic prospect has an advanced feel for the game. Quitquit runs the show with confidence and her athletic ability, deception, and timing allow her to be a terrific attacker in either a 5-1 or as a right side in a 6-2. The Lancers have run a 5-1 and she is throwing over attacks of every type- low dumps on the move, left-hand throwdowns, and quick pivots to big swings on two. Quitquit moves the ball pin to pin with confidence and is ready to have a huge season.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["363992"],"_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":"Connor has the length of a top-level pin at 6 foot 1, and her overall skills have been enhanced by her play on the beach. Her ceiling as an attacker is extremely high as she has plenty of time to add power, and she is very technically sound. Connor will need to carry much of the load as an attacker for North Thurston this season, she has a nice selection of shots in her bag to produce big numbers for the Rams.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["335612"],"_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":"Coleman has been featured in the middle and on the pins for a young Lakeside team this season. A dominating blocker, she excelled playing MB for Sudden Impact during the club season and can blast balls at sharp angles when running quick hitters. Playing at times as a pin will only enhance her overall game, and Lakeside can always rely on her tremendous shut-down blocking when she is on the net.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["243689"],"_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":"Morales is an ascending 2026 prospect who has height, athleticism, and a powerful swing from either pin. She was peaking at the end of the club season for Dakine and will be a sought-after player at the next level. Terminal pins are not easy to find! This season, the Curtis Vikings will look to make a run at the state title with Morales as an integral member of the squad.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["231549"],"_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":"Eichert is the top prospect for the class of 2026 and the outside hitter will lead a strong Lake Stevens team this season offensively. Now listed at an even 6 foot, Eichert plays with heavy power on the pin, can attack with precision from the back row, and is part of the USA Volleyball National Development Team Program. The Lake Stevens Vikings will rely on her this season for all facets of her game, and Eichert has the grit and skill to deliver.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64e04476c0b17"} /-->
