<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The athletes I saw tonight at the preview from the class of 2025 were so impressive and I just had to cover them first. The defensive specialists as well as others in this class at the event were talented individuals. Let's get into what impressed me with each one of the athletes in this class tonight.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":557842,"width":"344px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepdig.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2023/07/38-Savannah-Baron-e1688408723479-crop-709x465-1719634842.jpg?w=708" alt="" class="wp-image-557842" style="width:344px;height:auto" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">[player_tooltip player_id='467162' first='Savannah' last='Baron'], class of 2025, DS/L from Archbishop Mitty.</figcaption></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='467162' first='Savannah' last='Baron']</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Baron is a 5'5" defensive specialist from Archbishop Mitty High School in California. Baron has quick feet, a great platform, and is not afraid to hit the floor hard when diving for a ball. She looked great in warm-ups and had great athleticism and coordination. She will be a winner at the next level and was willing to give it her all on the court at the preview tonight.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='468978' first='Skye' last='Dunn']</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Dunn is a 5'4" defensive specialist from Crossroads High School in California. Dunn has a great platform and great placement of the ball. She is always ready and is quick to recover off the ball into a ready position. She moves with speed and grace and never gives up. She is impressive in her abilities and never sacrifices a play to save her body. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Jordan McIntyre</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>McIntyre is a 5'11" outside hitter from Centennial High School in Corona, California. McIntyre has a good vertical and impressive ball placement when hitting from the front or back row. She is a good blocker and can go up at the net multiple times in one rally. She has rapid reflexes and is very athletic. She is an impressive athlete and appears to perform well under pressure. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Rilyn Morales</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:image {"id":442362,"width":"367px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none","align":"right"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignright size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepdig.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2023/07/L-Kaylee-Noa-SoCal-crop-3456x2270-1690216348.jpg?w=800" alt="" class="wp-image-442362" style="width:367px;height:auto" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">[player_tooltip player_id='524688' first='Kaylee' last='Noa'], DS/L from Oceanside HS, class of 2025.</figcaption></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Morales is a 5'11" outside hitter from Torrey Pines High School in California. Morales has great reflexes, an amazing platform, and a great verticle. She has good hitting form and a powerful swing. She likes the back line where she would get the side-out after hitting a defensive player with a shot they couldn't handle. She is an intelligent athlete with a high volleyball IQ who will do well at the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='524688' first='Kaylee' last='Noa'] </h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Noa is a 5'3" defensive specialist from Oceanside High School. Noa is a fast athlete. I bet she is a multisport athlete and probably runs track or plays soccer, as well as she plays volleyball. She showed her reflexive quickness by being the first off the line when warming up and continued to display that speed all throughout the event tonight. She is quick to the ball and never gives up. She has a perfect platform and always hits her setter. Even the craziest digs she got to the setter while I was watching her tonight. She is a great athlete and will perform at the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
