Standing at 6'3u0022 and extremely physical, she didn't go unnoticed at the net and contributed on both sides of the ball. Blocking was certainly her main skill as she displayed great instincts to read plays and was very quick to get off the floor and place her arms above the net. Stallworth's offense is still coming together, but she gets to score on most plays because of her high contact point. She was also a nice surprise on the backcourt, serving a top spin jump serve with good regularity and showing decent technical skills to pass and play defense.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-663970f11ab72"} /--> <!-- wp:image {"id":537497,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepdig.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/05/IMG_4488.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-537497" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Alamo 16 Premier vs. Texas Heat 16-1</figcaption></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Xandria Johnson","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'8u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"32924","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Rivera","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"Valley Venom","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Johnson was another case of a player who stood out despite her team's difficult weekend u003c!u002du002dmoreu002du002du003ewith several players down because of injuries - Valley Venom - 161 Red dropped all five matches over the weekend in Houston.
