Washington Top 250 EXPO: Seniors In Play!

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We love to have seniors at our Top 250 Expo events; players at the top of their craft with experience in the big moments provide a blueprint for younger athletes who may just be beginning their recruiting process.

A high flyer and fierce competitor, she led the Bulldogs to the District playoffs for the first time since 2016.

The arm swing is what makes you say u0022wowu0022 of course, she is quick off the floor and keeps the ball in front- then whips through it to terminate.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-655d86e24e617"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://www.instagram.com/p/CzVeMFvLwe4/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_linku0026amp;igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"instagram","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://www.instagram.com/p/CzVeMFvLwe4/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_linku0026amp;igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["254820"],"_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":"Yoel is the Lake Washington captain as well as the libero, and the four-year varsity player just finished her career for the Kangs in the State Championship match.
