Nevada will be represented by four clubs and five powerhouse teams. Hundreds of players will showcase their skills at one of the final tournaments before Nationals.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With that in mind, I've highlighted the top <strong>setters</strong> and <strong>liberos</strong> from Nevada that you should catch in action.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["325888"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66601857878e6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Trinity is highly regarded as the best setter in the state and for good reason. The state champ is elite and possesses high volleyball iq. Her ability to strategically place the ball for her hitters and vary her sets effectively often keeps the defense guessing. Additionally, she excels on the back row, frequently taking on the role of libero. On front row you get a blocker and a setter that can send the second ball over quickly to unsuspecting opponents. Her overall game is very impressive and is definitely a top player to watch this weekend.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://events.sportwrench.com/#/events/8d056a43e/divisions/13822/teams/173175/schedule"><strong>Schedule Link</strong></a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["545757"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-666018578793c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hadley is the primary libero for the Aces and truly exceptional on back row. Showcasing relentless hustle to go after every ball, she is a game-changer during crucial moments and long rallies. Trainor has the split step down which helps her get to more balls on serve receive and defense. In addition, she is the go-to for out-of-system setting when the setter passes first ball. Don't miss out on watching this superb libero over the weekend.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://events.sportwrench.com/#/events/8d056a43e/divisions/13822/teams/173175/schedule"><strong>Schedule Link</strong></a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- 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":"Ilana lee","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_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":"32561","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Somerset Academy Losee","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"[program_tooltip program_id='430659' first='Dig' last='This'] VBC 16 Black","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66608dbf4b3e1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ilana excels in ball placement when setting, particularly to her outside and opposite pins.
