Participants had the opportunity to compete with athletes of varying skill levels plus showcase their skills in front of college coaches and PrepDig scouts.   For this event, I focused on scouting the liberos and defensive specialists. Here are the top performers and standout defensive specialists that really caught our eye at the showcase.    <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepdig.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/07/IMG_1760.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-568216" /></figure>   Milani was one of the defensive specialists at the showcase with superb form. Her ability to maintain a strong platform and get an early angle out on passes was impressive. She handled short balls exceptionally well, showcasing her agility and quick reflexes. During 6-on-6 games, she made some outstanding digs, often turning difficult defensive plays into offensive opportunities. Additionally, she has an impressive serve that was difficult for some to return. She showcased some elite skills and was named a top performer.      <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepdig.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/07/IMG_1759.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-568224" /></figure>   Liliana was an exceptional performer in the backrow during warmups, drills, and games. She excelled at passing deep serves and digging challenging balls from attackers. Liliana's agility and impressive lateral movement allow her to cover the court effectively, getting to more balls faster and with greater precision. Carrerro displayed a broad range of techniques and a high level of proficiency in each.     Mallory was very impressive during serve receive drills. She had great form and clean, high passes to the target more often than not. On defense, her footwork was quick and efficient which allowed her to get into a good position to make accurate passes. This young player has a bright future ahead as she heads into her sophomore year.      Vonnie demonstrated great passing skills during warmups and serve receive drills. She communicated effectively and took charge of the back row, making sure everyone knew their responsibilities. Her hustle was impressive, as she wasn't afraid to dive to keep the ball in play. Chavez played at a high level and will be a hitter's nightmare once she enters high school this fall.     Fernanda was great at talking and communicating with her peers on the court. She got a lot of balls to the target during passing drills, even when receiving a tough serve. She was impressive during the fast-paced games, proving that there was no ball too difficult for her to handle. Valdez was impressive from start to finish at the showcase.     Emma did so many things well during the showcase, immediately distinguishing herself. Her serve recieve passes were on point, almost always to the target. Her float serve was difficult for many of her opponents to pass. During game play, she made sure to cover her hitters and was consistently in the right spot to dig whatever the opponent threw at them. Emma did a good job with out of system setting when needed, putting the ball in a great spot for hitters to attack and score. She stood out as one of the best liberos at the event.    <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://www.instagram.com/reel/C9JoZ1Nuy6P/?igsh=ejB4aWNkM3oxdHd0 </div></figure>    Skylar was very impressive at the showcase. She excelled in maintaining clean passes and a tight platform, consistently delivering solid passes to the target. Her hustle and ability to read hitters were top-knotch. She has perfected the split step, which gives her a jump on the ball and makes it easier to handle float serves. Whenever possible, she uses her hands to pass, helping her team run a faster offense. Skylar displayed numerous elite skills and is poised for an outstanding sophomore season.    <h2 class="wp-block-heading">If you missed this event and would like to sign up for PrepDig Nevada'a next Showcase, click here <a href="https://prepdig.com/events/?type=&state=Nevada&start_date=">https://prepdig.com/events/?type=&state=Nevada&start_date=</a> and use code: Bryantdig2024 to save $$</h2>   If you loved this article, make sure to follow our Instagram page <a href="https://www.instagram.com/prepdignv?igsh=MWNqc3lrc2huZzZxcA%3D%3D&utm_source=qr">@prepdignv</a> for exclusive content and behind-the-scenes action.   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">By subscribing to PrepDig, you're not just supporting coverage of your favorite events – you're also helping to shine a spotlight on talented prospects.</h2>   <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />   If there is a player you would like to add to PrepDig Nevada's radar, you can:   <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>Follow/tag us on Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/prepdignv?igsh=MWNqc3lrc2huZzZxcA%3D%3D&utm_source=qr">@prepdignv</a> and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/lasvegasvbanalyst?igsh=dXdjMHVnZTc0d3h6&utm_source=qr">@lasvegasvbanalyst</a></li> </ul>   <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>Claim your FREE PrepDig player profile <a href="https://prepdig.com/prospect-index/">here</a>. </li> </ul>   <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>Contact me via email me at: <a href="mailto:lasvegasvbanalyst@gmail.com">lasvegasvbanalyst@gmail.com</a> </li> </ul>   <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>Attend our Freshman or Stock Up Showcases in August. <a href="https://prepdig.com/events/?type=Showcase&state=Nevada&start_date=">Learn more here</a>and use my code: Bryantdig2024 to save $$</li> </ul>
