Samantha is impressive in all six rotations and is incredibly disciplined on the court.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["323948"],"_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":"Faith is an absolute wall at the net. She can stop any hitter pin to pin. She reads well, sees the other side of the net, and reacts quickly. While Faith's defense really sets her apart, she is an impact hitter as well. She takes an explosive approach and has a very high contact point.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["324015"],"_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":"Alana is going to be an absolutely incredible pin.

She is a smart hitter with a lot of power. Sophia is a naturally talented blocker who sets up the block well and gets consistently productive touches on the ball. She has the potential to play all six rotations. What stands out to me about Sophia's play is her ability to make big plays in pressure moments. Her teammates can rely on her to make big plays on offense and defense.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["323939"],"_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":"Skylar can play on both the outside and right sides.
