She was a valuable piece to Mill Valley's state title in 2023 and earn many postseason accolades. She had over 200 kills and just shy of 100 blocks in her junior campaign.

She  plays on the [program_tooltip program_id='430200' first='KC' last='Power'] 17-2 team, and considering many of the defenders on the 1 team is ranked higher, it's evidence to me she is a strong back row player. It's easy to get lost in the process but if coaches give her a look, you will see what we see which she is a hard-nosed defender who makes plays.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["492579"],"_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":"Nash is a defender who plays for [program_tooltip program_id='430200' first='KC' last='Power'] also, on their 1's team. She also stood out with her play at the expo earlier this month as another gritty defender. She is another player stuck behind some strong players at the high school level but can make a name for herself on the club circuit if we mirrors the play we saw recently. She enters the rankings for the first time at 47.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["493419"],"_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":"The 6'1u0022 Green introduced herself to us with a strong junior season for Andover that saw her play a huge role for a state qualifying team. She had over a .300 hitting percentage and totaled 297 kills. She surely earned some looks from some college programs and join the rankings at 51.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["465558"],"_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":"The Nemaha Central standout makes her presence known at 66 in her first ranking.
