<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Who is proving on the court that they are the best of the best in their position?  Some say that numbers do not lie and we have the numbers that are being reported by coaches across the state.  California is one of the best states in the nation when it comes to this wonderful sport and we are here to highlight all of our amazing players.  Let's meet a few of the players who are killing it on the court!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["454603"],"_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-66ef5eb40ebd8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Asia is currently ranked as the 4<sup>th</sup> best overall prospect in the 2027 class according to our Prep Dig California State Rankings.  She plays for Centennial High School and also plays for the Forza1 volleyball club program.  Miss Udo-Ema plays like she is a seasoned senior pro but she is only a sophomore.  There are MVP of their team caliber players and then there are player of the year for the state type of players and that is exactly who Asia is.  There is not a single thing she can't do on the court at a high level at any given time.  She leads all sophomore players in the state of Cali with 292 kills on a very impressive .352 hitting percentage.  There is not doubt in my mind with her current rate of 4.6 kills per set that she will beat her kill total of 396 from last year.  Offensively she is a genius with the ball in her hands.  Her plethora of shots allow her to be very deadly from any location on the court.  If for some reason the attack location is not all the way to the antenna, Asia can easily adjust her approach and make up ground to catch up to the ball and throttle it.  With her extensive reach and amazing vertical, hardly any blockers are able to jump with her at the net.  If the blocker's timing is off, even for a spilt second, she will win the battle at the net with ease.  We are very proud to be covering this young lady and strongly encourage each of you to check her out and you will be thoroughly entertained with the show like we are. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Katherine is currently ranked as the 33<sup>rd</sup> best overall prospect in the 2027 class according to our Prep Dig California State Rankings.  She plays at Jserra Catholic High School and will play this coming year for the WAVE volleyball club.  Miss Nowak is no stranger to elite teams and titles as she has been part of some amazing squads.  The two sport stud also shines on the sand as well.  By playing beach volleyball, she has learned how to move the ball around offensively and score in many ways during indoor ball.  Her ability to score is not limited to only the pins, as she is fully capable of transitioning to the middle during play sets and attacking at the second tempo to the corners.  When you watch her approach, you see a player who uses every ounce of her body in order to attack with power.  You see this in her hops as she takes off from the ground and you also see it as she crunches her abs while contact the ball on the hit.  Watching a young player understand the mechanics of creating power in their play is a great thing for volleyball coaching purists like myself.  This shows just how coachable she has been in her career and gives insight as to what she can be in the future as well. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!--

--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Halle is currently ranked as the 25<sup>th</sup> best overall prospect in the 2027 class according to our Prep Dig California State Rankings.  She plays for Adolfo Camarillo High School and plays club for the CITY Volleyball program.  Miss Bryce is a straight up lethal banger who is destined for greatness in this game.  Her size and powerful frame will attract many scouts to her court, but they will stay once they see just how great she actually is.  While many her age and height are not able to play back row due to body mechanics, Halle is one of those rare super athletic tall players who can control their every move and speed up if necessary without messing up their form.  Currently she has the third most kills amongst all sophomore attackers with 200 kills on the season, which has already surpassed her entire kill total from her freshman season.  This is scary for all of her opponents because it means she is getting better and has not even reached her true potential.  The moment she starts to use both of her arms in her approach upswing to get her even higher, everyone in the nation better watch out.  Her enormous ceiling as an attacker has the sky as the limit. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
