The rising sophomore from White River High School was a super sub in the back row and the service line, bolstering the Puyallup Juniors' defense with her passing and playmaking. Arnold is tough and acrobatic and dug out hard shots and swings to keep things moving for the team's transition game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["580819"],"_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-66718cae8db66"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The libero from Skyview in Vancouver, WA, played with confidence and outstanding technique for Excel NW in Las Vegas. Number nine in the blue Libero jersey definitely has some setter training in her background. Lorenzen handles serves and swings smoothly with her hands and is very comfortable stepping in to set a second ball with her hands to either pin. She was quick to cover pushes and throws to the corners, showing fast feet and a solid ability to read the hitter. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["508351"],"_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-66718cae8dbfe"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">White River should be well-stocked on the back line during the school season. Froemke was all over the court for PSVBA 15 Legacy at the USAv Championships. The rising sophomore has quick feet and stays low, running down and stabbing up tips and covers to keep points alive. Froemke had a running line of communication open with her team on the court, making sure the seams were covered in serve receive and letting her hitters know about the block. The 2027 prospect had some terrific plays laying out for off-speed and using her left or right hand to steal a point from the opposing attackers. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["524938"],"_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-66718cae8ddb1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The 2027 prospect out of South Kitsap was an impact server and defensive sub for Dakine, playing right back in the match against 417 Juniors Elite. Elmore plays with terrific emotion and celebrates hard for her teammate's success. She was solid handling some tough serves from 417 and has an excellent feel for sending digs high and off the net for her setters. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["580822"],"_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-66718cae8de28"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Chow plays fast and low to the ground and can make super quick emergency moves when a ball is deflected off the block or blazing near her. The 2027 from Eastlake gets her feet and body in position and stops before the swing, allowing her to make a read and get to the ball quickly. Chow has an excellent flat serve, which she used to pressure teams in Vegas. She will drop it short, then float it deep to keep the defense guessing and off-balance. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/17308465/66919ad5ab0711d9f544b5d9' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66a9a284116ed"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
