<p class="text-gray-700">Bello has immediately earned a spot in the starting lineup of Cypress Ranch, one of the strongest teams in the state, and match after match she's been proving her worth to the team. An extremely athletic outside hitter, she has been performing at a very high level for the Mustangs, especially on offense, showing she can help carry the team's scoring load. Bello can jump out of the gym, swings as hard as anyone and makes excellent choices up at the net - the fact that she has a special connection with the team's starting setter and her older sister, [player_tooltip player_id='268779' first='Zora' last='Bello'], certainly doesn't hurt. Bello is well-versed on the backcourt too, passing at a high level and playing solid defense.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Lopez has been performing as a defensive specialist for Steele and earning a lot of playing time in her freshman season. An extremely technical player, she's been mostly subbing in for the team's right side hitter on the backcourt, but has stayed on the court at the net on some occasions as well. Lopez's defensive skills are truly impressive and her presence on the court has given her team great volume as she contributes with reliable passing and numerous digs. At times, her excellent touch on the ball has come in handy when she needs to set in transition.</p>

<p>Just a few matches into her high school career, Glynn seems ready to honor Rosehill Christian's tradition of having elite setters. A lefty, she's extremely precise and creative and runs the team's offense in a very dynamic and efficient way. Despite being very young, Glynn seems to be extremely mature and to have a high volleyball IQ based on some of the decisions she made when under pressure and not having a lot of time to weigh her options. Her excellent technical skills also appear on defense as she's very productive at the right back position.</p>
