Lehr asserted herself as 15 Lime's ball control anchor throughout NLQ, and it wasn't always about her smooth setting. Whenever [program_tooltip program_id='428717' first='Nebraska' last='ONE'] was in three-hitter rotations, Lehr stepped up as a lockdown defender in the right-back area.

Cahow is the first one up, and it's hard not to spotlight this setter after her Premier 15 Black team struck gold in Minneapolis. Her calming presence shows up every time she's on the floor, and perhaps it's because Cahow connects so well with her hitters. 15 Black's offense flows so well with Cahow running the show, especially on up-tempo sets to the left side. Those bonds will become even stronger as 15 Black hones its skills for GJNC.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='521192' first='Maddy' last='Stukenholtz']","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"5'3u0022","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"32561","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"Platteview","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"Premier 15 Red","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_2_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Platteview High School has a fascinating future leader at the setter spot.
