Here are several prospects who made big plays for their squads. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["460680"],"_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-66fb637f1ea4b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kamiak has a competitive team that will surprise people this season; Bigby is one of the go-to attackers for the Knights. The 2027 prospect is one of five sophomores on the varsity roster; the team has the talent to be successful now and in the future. Bigby has a very fluid game; she moves effortlessly around the court and has a whippy arm swing that generates kills. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["249310"],"_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-66fb637f1eacf"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hughbanks does outstanding work on the beach in the spring and summer; it's fun to see a reminder of how good her game is indoors. Chelan has a system; opposing teams know you have to defend the 2026 outside; that is easier said than done. She can hammer through or around the block and has excellent control of her off-speed game. Hughbanks plays the middle back and is equally adept at digging up swings or stepping in and setting the second ball to the pin. Chelan battled Wenatchee hard and almost took the second set off the 4A champs; it will be tough to knock the Goats off their perch in the 1A ranks. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["249413"],"_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-66fb637f1eb3b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The Glacier Peak setter was smooth and in control. She had a great connection with all of her talented attackers. Cornelius has an excellent sense for where her options are in every situation. She sets the back row accurately and gives everyone a hittable ball. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["335542"],"_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-66fb637f1eba8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">McMurry is a steady performer for West Valley Yakima. The multi-sport athlete is physical in her play and makes good decisions when running the offense. She plays solid defense out of the setter position and has strong hands and the power to move the ball with tempo to either pin. On Saturday, WV Yakima took home the Gold Consolation Bracket championship. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["312334"],"_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-66fb637f1ec12"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jennings is a powerful attacker with a great contact point; she hits the ball high and drives it down in front of defenders to score. She was rolling in bracket play, slamming kills at hard angles and down the line when the set was outside. The senior is part of a Cal Poly Humboldt pipeline building from the PNW; she is verbally committed to the Lumberjacks for next season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["250403"],"_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-66fb637f1ec7c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Stuber plays with emotion and keeps her Wenatchee squad fired up. The Panthers can run other teams out of the gym with their play, energy, passionate fans, and, if all else fails, the most complete lineup of pre-set handshakes in the state. All handshake routines aside, Stuber is quick and powerful to the ball and knows how to find a seam in the block to put down a kill. She is a relentless worker as a blocker and helped Wenatchee rack up another championship over the weekend. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
