Dynamic Defenders On Display: Prep Dig Top 250 Expo

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There were many defenders in the building over the weekend at the Top 250 expo in Kansas City. We've touched on some who were standout performers and players new to me in my coverage. Today, I want to highlight some of the other back-row standouts.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["445177"],"_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":"Abigail had a good showing on the more.

Chanya and Ali is what I have listed as the second name was a write-in. I enjoyed watching her in action and was impressed with how low she got her base to pass the ball. Another bonus, she's vocal on the court which is what you want in someone moving around the back row.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["261112"],"_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":"Fenemore is really good! I caught a couple of her touches on some heat and caught myself saying, u0022wowu0022. Her floor awareness sets her apart and she will have many options in the future due to her volleyball IQ. Another area she stood out was with her second ball sets when the setter was out. The ones I witnessed, she was flawless.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["320724"],"_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":"Dye is a high-energy player who doesn't let up on any play.
