Brown has a powerful arm swing she uses to score in bunches, and Silas was a dangerous opponent to face this season with her on the court. She posted multiple matches of over 20 kills, with everyone on the other side of the net knowing she was getting the ball set her way. Named the 3A PCL co-MVP, Brown led the Rams to a league title as a six-rotation OH- showcasing her talents on both offense and defense.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-653461178a8ef"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/20229643/65039d6002bc3508f870e6b8' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6535edfa13e67"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"providerNameSlug":"youtube","responsive":true} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["259678"],"_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":"Ranked as the #65 player overall, the 5'8 Herrick was terrific setting her Olympia squad out of the 5-1 this school season.

The 5'9 OH added shots to her toolbox as the season progressed, dropping in off speed swings and tips along with big rips down the line and to the angle. Wenatchee spreads the ball around on offense as well as anyone, and at times that lowered some of the kill numbers their front line posted. When called upon to carry the load, Sackman delivered with double digit kills against West Valley Yakima and others when she had enough total chances. Sackman has a high volleyball IQ on the pin and the power to rip kills off the block.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":2,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-653461178a971"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/18322955/652951dd4bb3070a00e91bb9' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6535edfa13f1f"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["250048"],"_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":"Kelly is a 5'11 OH from Newport High School, and she has the steady passing to be a valuable DS/L for a college program.
