She has played a crucial role in the success of her CSDP 17's team she plays up in age with. She can score with some of the best in the state in the middle and continues to improve defensively at the net.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["219778"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"Another 2026 playing up on CSDP is Venable, another player who increased their stock this spring.

Her ability to hit the pipe is a great asset to her game.","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_6_player":["222058"],"_player_evaluations_6_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_6_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_6_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"Making a big jump and joining the top ten at number seven is Byergo. She has the size at 6'5u0022 to be a force and that is what I've seen from her this fall. He pounds the ball and moves very well along the front line. She is a hard worker and you won't see many put in the effort she does to get off the net to make herself available for the ball. Her stock will continue to rise and don't be surprised if she crack the top five soon.","_player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_7_player":["207581"],"_player_evaluations_7_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_7_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_7_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_7_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_7_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_7_evaluation":"Raterman still sits in the top ten in the eighth spot. Her drop is primarily due to the rise of others in the class. We still see effectiveness in the outside hitter's game this spring.

Her defense and passing is also good.","_player_evaluations_7_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_8_player":["484824"],"_player_evaluations_8_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_8_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_8_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_8_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_8_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_8_evaluation":"Joining the top ten is Remmenga. Her stock began to rise this winter at the Top 250 showcase in Kansas City. She stood out there among the crowd as a player we needed to keep an eye on this spring.
