She has a full skill set and can contribute in so many ways that help their offense go and in putting a lot of pressure on opponents and disrupting their flow. This year she is producing more as an attacker as she is second on the team offensively at 4.6 k/s on a career best .385 efficiency. Her defensive numbers are up as well as she is ahead of her career average at over 15 digs per match. Etzler can bring it at the service line as she has earned nearly 200 service aces in her high school career. She is committed to national power Stanford.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["289171"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":695507,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-66f87fa587034"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The offensive leader, Blasingame is having the best season of her career. Recently surpassing 950 total kills for her high school career, she is earning her highest production at a 5.7 k/s average through her best efficiency at .377. With most attacking effort coming out of the middle, Blasingame is a primary passer and can create her own opportunities and rhythm by delivering a dime and getting up and swinging with good authority. She can find space with power and pace and can control her arm to go up and over and score through deeper phases of the court. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["227816"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":695508,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-66f87fa587094"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The floor general for Coldwater, Knapke is one of the most productive setters in Ohio dishing over 11 assists per set. She has the good fortune of great ball control along with two big and efficient arms that make a setter's job easier yet very rewarding. She dishes what her attackers need with good rhythm and location to put them in great opportunities to score. With 70 kills of her own, she is savvy in finding her own opportunities through deception and good timing during point flow. She also adds over seven digs per match. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":695509,"_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='721278' first='Campbell' last='Etzler']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2028","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'5u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"32926","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Coldwater","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66f87fa587189"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Just a freshman, Etzler makes a great impact in the first-touch and serving phases of the game. The Cavaliers' libero, she is second on the team defensively at 11.9 digs per match. Although in her first year, she competes with confidence that helps to stabilize their passing and defense. That same approach is seen at the service line as she is aggressive yet simple and controlled to deliver a tough ball. She recently earned seven aces in their win over Russia.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
