Setter/opposite hitter [player_tooltip player_id='612253' first='Kate' last='Smith'] from Washington County is the big name after she had a nice season setting for the Commanderettes this past season. High school teammates Claire Mattingly and [player_tooltip player_id='721852' first='Josie' last='Hill'] also saw some varsity action this past fall. Mattingly will play libero or defensive specialist with Hill playing opposite hitter and defensive specialist.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Brookelyn Wilson and Layne Blincoe from Bardstown hope to make impacts at middle hitter and Bardstown's Adyson Osborne looks to make an impact at defensive specialist.

She does a good job anticipating balls and using her hands to make good passes to the setters. Kisegy squares her arms up with balls well and slides when needed to make big digs. Kisegy hustles toward the net to dig up blocked balls and takes swings when the team is out of system. Kisegy has a hard jump serve bringing versatility to the Tigers. Kisegy had 440 digs, 44 aces and 94 kills for the Tigers this past fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["774748"],"_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-673ab10adfeb9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Brooks (pictured) has great form on the initial touches to start the Thomas Nelson offensive flow. She tracks down balls from soft ones to setter dumps and hard shots. Brooks also brings versatility to the team as a setter. Brooks puts balls on target and has a solid serve. Brooks had 292 assists, 173 digs and 26 aces for the Generals this past fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["722644"],"_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-673ab10adff40"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Garrett gives the Knights a solid defensive presence and will only improve during club season. Garrett does a great job taking away line and cross court shots. She squares her body up to balls and makes quick passes forward. Garrett does not hide behind blocks. Garrett had 194 digs this past fall helping the Knights to a 21-16 record and a spot in the 5th Region semifinals.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["722201"],"_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-673ab10adffb7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bleemel emerged as a nice offensive threat for the Cougars this past fall. She does a good job swinging through balls at the net. She can send hard shots to the back row and soft ones away from defenders at different parts of the court. She's reliable from the middle and the outside. Bleemel finished second for Bullitt Central with 145 kills this past fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["612253"],"_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-673ab10ae002b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Smith turned into a beacon of hope for the Commanderettes during a tough season emerging as the setter. Smith sets up her teammates well and earns a number of kills on setter dumps, even surprising opponents with pushes to the far corner. Smith is not afraid to dive after balls defensively and lands big kills when needed. Smith had 228 assists, 149 digs and 21 aces for Washington County this past fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
