Wright is a terrific blocker with great length and  a developing offensive game. She is hammering down overpasses with confidence and her footwork running attacking routes is solid. A 2026 prospect, Wright has all the tools needed and the work ethic to be a force in the middle.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-652f2d3eabfcd"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/18403539/6368997f9681160934707b51' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65bb18bda1936"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["251052"],"_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":"The Tahoma 2026 attacker is looking very comfortable on the pin and in the middle back for her DaKine 16-1 Surf squad. Alo has a quick arm swing that generates power, and the athleticism to make stand out plays on offense and in the back row. DaKine setters are finding her on the right side and the pipe, teams will have to account for Alo in every rotation not just when she is lined up as an outside.

A 2027 athlete from Emerald Ridge, Larsen will be at the Power League with her PSVBA 16 Legacy team, seeded near the top of the second division, searching for a move up into the highest bracket.
