Oh My! High-Level Performers at Final 16s Power League

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sometimes I get a front-row seat or bird's eye view...however, you want to look at it. Sunday I was able to officiate some high-level matches during the final play date for the HOA [program_tooltip program_id='428794' first='Power' last=''] League. In this process, I'm always taking mental notes of players who are catching my attention. Here are some of the players who jumped out as high-level performers!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["240984"],"_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":"Sher stood out as a six rotation pin for [program_tooltip program_id='430200' first='KC' last='[program_tooltip program_id='428794' first='Power' last='']']. Her shot selection and ability to get kills when her team needed her was impressive to watch. One thing that caught my eye was her discipline to get her feet under her on out of system sets to still take an aggressive swing at the ball versus an easy free ball.

She moves around the court with ease and has nice hands and ball placement. Her decision making was on display also from deciding when to run the slide, set the bic, or go over on two. Another thing that was solid was her defense, either in the back row or up front with the block.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["154038"],"_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":"This was my first time seeing Florez live and she lives up to the hype after a state championship season for Mill Valley.
