The right side hitter has made tremendous progress in her game since the last high school campaign and is more than ready to carry the team's offensive load. A lefty, Hoff has all the shots swinging from the right and is also extremely intelligent, picking the right option for each occasion. She has a lot of power in her left arm, but also sees the game well and scores with finesse when needed. Hoff also does a solid job with her blocking, challenging opposing outside hitters at the net.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/17417657/652d99cdb53e8909106f6faf' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-668ffed425ac1"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["395382"],"_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-668ffed425b0d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Moszkowicz gives her team Magnolia a lot of defensive stability at the libero position. Extremely technical and intelligent, she's very active defensively and embraces the responsibility of leading the team's backcourt efforts with great efficiency. Moszkowicz reads the game well and responds with agility, getting several touches on defense. She also handles a large portion of the court in serve-receive and communicates well with her teammates, helping the team make adjustments on the go.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/18663661/665e0d6d3e47f1918cb7543f' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-668ffed425b30"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["240982"],"_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-668ffed425b6b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Dworaczyk will have a major role in orchestrating Magnolia West's offense and her recent performances with both the high school side and her club team have shown she's up for it. The setter surpassed 1,000 assists last season and continues to improve, adding more experience and better decision-making to her accurate setting. Dworaczyk is very productive with her distribution, splitting the ball around her hitters, but sticking with the most productive ones in key moments. She also contributes from the backcourt with strong defensive skills and solid serving. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/17930833/654040c432e74d09142dad8b' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-668ffed425b92"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["269795"],"_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-668ffed425bca"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hopkins was capable of making an impact with Tomball as a freshman and should deliver even more in her sophomore season. One of the best liberos in the region, she has the potential to be a difference-maker on the backcourt and typically lives up to it. Very technical and active, Hopkins is one of those liberos who combine large production throughout matches but also big-time plays in key moments. She's become more vocal as of late and is developing into a sold hand-setter, helping facilitate transition plays for the team. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/15374643/6542d2048cd3ce0920c04b1e' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-668ffed425be7"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["269827"],"_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-668ffed425c1e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Odell will bring power and intensity at the net to Tomball Memorial, repeating what she did last year, when the program had a deep playoff run. Her ability to put the ball down in any situation is invaluable for the team as they know they can turn to her no matter what. A heavy-hitter, Odell can score from anywhere at the net and one of the keys to her efficiency is the extra split-second she waits before making contact with the ball, which gives her the time she needs to scan the opposing court. The outside hitter is pretty resourceful too and will find solutions to put the ball down in difficult situations. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jtrj8Ii2Ddk","type":"video","providerNameSlug":"youtube","responsive":true,"className":"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jtrj8Ii2Ddk </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed -->
