Team of the Week: Cascade Christian -Week Three!

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Week 3 of the Washington high school volleyball season is in the books and the Cascade Christian Cougars from the 1A Nisqually league take home Team of the Week honors. The Cougars have an undefeated 7-0 record and are ranked second by the computer RPI and tied for third in the coaches rankings. (located here: <a href="https://www.wsvbca.com/general-5">https://www.wsvbca.com/general-5</a>) Cascade Christian handled both of their league contests without being pushed in week 3, and the Cougars may not see a tough match until the playoffs. The team overall is young, with just two seniors on the roster. The Nisqually League will be dealing with this tough squad for a bit!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["250418"],"_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":"Dent is a difference-maker playing six-rotation outside for the Cougars.

A year after earning all-league honors, the 5'10 MB is leading the team at the net as a blocker and hitting an impressive .462 for the season. Zetterberg has tremendous timing when she is aggressive on an over pass, and the athletic ability to run pin to pin and put up an intimidating block.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["251057"],"_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":"Janho has been on some big serving runs already this season, and is impressive hustling on defense to keep plays alive.

Janho is the leader of the defensive effort for the team along with Walling, making every point a  battle for opposing offenses to score.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["243687"],"_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":"Walling has a big arm when she rotates out of the setting position and transitions into a dangerous attacker. The sophomore stand-out can pound a kill with authority, using a quick and forceful approach to generate power. Walling can also attack out of the pipe and has excellent control and location with her swings. Her high-level beach experience makes a difference playing defense, Walling reacts quickly and can go down and dig out hard swings and off-speed shots. The 5'7 prospect is physical and strong, she can push a set to the pin or go up and win a joust against a taller player.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":3,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64ff50bf91211"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://youtu.be/SkZgWSe_mcs?si=bIMXoCKYKQQKJ0M2","type":"video","providerNameSlug":"youtube","responsive":true,"className":"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://youtu.be/SkZgWSe_mcs?si=bIMXoCKYKQQKJ0M2 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>TWO MORE TEAMS THAT WON THE WEEK:</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Seattle Prep</strong>: We know this team is coming on strong, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='246357' first='Tea' last='Bosnac']</strong>, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='268470' first='Delaney' last='Dorscht']</strong> and the rest of the Panthers are definitely on our radar in the 3A Metro. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Kennedy Catholic</strong>: <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='249301' first='Maya' last='Quitquit']</strong> and the crew from the Lancers swept to a victory over Mt.
