<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We still have more names to get to.

Schweitzer accumulated 78 total aces during the season and did if from one of Malcolm's DS positions. As we mentioned in Part 1, the skill required to come in cold off the bench and make a serving impact cannot be overstated. Schweitzer makes it look easy.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["458117"],"_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":"Is anyone surprised to see a Boesiger rising up Nebraska's ace leaderboards? Maisie was a serious serving weapon during her Norris career, and now it's Malorie's turn to carry the torch. The freshman setter led Class B's runner-up with 0.8 aces per set, including 15 aces in a four-match stretch right before the state tournament. Boesiger is just getting started.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["269947"],"_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":"West has been a stat stuffer across the board. We've discussed her brilliant offensive production for Wausa, but let's hone in on her lights-out serving. West finished the 2023 season with 80 total aces in 81 setsu002du002da nearly unmatched clip in the Cornhusker State. The Vikings have a chance to take a big step forward with West returning alongside many of her teammates.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["104981"],"_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":"O'Hare was undoubtedly one of Nebraska's most versatile players in the senior class. She anchored Gothenburg as a rare backcourt setter and frontcourt middle blocker, racking up monster stats in every category. That even includes aces, where O'Hare posted a team-high 71 in 101 sets. The Swedes have been the model of consistency behind so much of this impactful serving.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["342561"],"_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":"It's been a while since we've checked in on this rangy libero from Crete. Swiercinsky has impressed us in multiple venues this year, from her work on the club scene to her performances at our Prep Dig showcases. Her recent outings with the Cardinals have shown Swiercinsky's ability to key up massive scoring runs as a server. 59 aces on the season will get the job done.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["173524"],"_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":"With how well Ott has been serving lately, you find a way to get her in the starting rotation. Omaha Skutt Catholic regularly used its game-changing server to shift close sets in its favor. That was the case in the Class B championship match, where Ott helped the SkyHawks win the ball control duel and lock up the program's ninth consecutive title.","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_6_player":["256660"],"_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":"Twarling was the quintessential u0022team playeru0022 during her Hay Springs career. Whether she was hitting in the frontcourt or playing as a defensive specialist, Twarling found a way to make a difference. That was the case in her senior campaign, which was highlighted by a wealth of quality digs and 0.8 aces per set.","_player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_7_player":["275970"],"_player_evaluations_7_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_7_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_7_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_7_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_7_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_7_evaluation":"Bring us more serving middles! Gegg has drawn a lot of attention for her physical play along the net, but that's not the only thing she brings to the Shelton lineup. She also greatly exceeded half an ace per set and was not afraid to dig some balls along the end line, either. Middles who embrace strong serving are always worthy of praise.","_player_evaluations_7_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_8_player":["336468"],"_player_evaluations_8_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_8_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_8_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_8_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_8_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_8_evaluation":"Schuerman was a major stock riser during the 2023 club season, and she didn't stop racking up stats with Wilber-Clatonia. She was already a lethal scorer with over three kills per set but added 0.7 aces per set for good measure. The Wolverines will miss that all-around production next year. Still, Schuerman has laid the foundation for future volleyball success at Wilber-Clatonia, and new leaders are bound to rise up.","_player_evaluations_8_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_9_player":["231947"],"_player_evaluations_9_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_9_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_9_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_9_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_9_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_9_evaluation":"One of the new co-ops on the block this year was Exeter-Milligan/Friend. Even with all the changes taking place, Haase's extraordinary production was a familiar sight. The high-flying outside hitter churned out 60 total aces while also maintaining her status as EMF's offensive leader. And, as a reminder, Haase is still just a sophomore with even more room to grow.","_player_evaluations_9_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":10,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-656918878723d"} /-->
