Zimmerman has great timing starting with the approach all the way to the follow-through. Zimmerman does a great job mixing in where she hits balls from both lines to the back rows. Even when opponents are in position, they often struggle to dig her because balls come in fast. Zimmerman also takes things off to land soft hits.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["227628"],"_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-676cd9423b34d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sprada does a great job finding different ways to put balls down using her size from both the front and back row. Sprada uses her athleticism to time up sets well and put a lot of power into balls. Sprada can even hit balls off the hands of blockers and keep it on the other side for kills. Sprada transitions from defense to offense quickly after making sound passes. Sprada earned the Southwestern Buckeye League Player of the Year honors smacking a league-high 489 kills to go with 278 digs, helping Brookville go 24-2 including a 12-0 mark in SWBL Buckeye Division play and win a district championship in Division V.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["524607"],"_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-676cd9423b3b2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Davis brings a diverse skill set to the table for [program_tooltip program_id='431827' first='Elevation' last='']. Davis can take big swings one play and set up powerful hitters on the next play. She's trying to become a solid all-around player. She does a great job putting hitters in position to succeed and is reliable on first contacts at serve receive, serving and digging. Davis takes swings from the back row, often landing soft hits in the front row. Davis had 444 kills, 271 assists, 51 aces, 275 digs and 28 blocks, helping Bellbrook go 18-7, winning the SWBL Southwestern Division at 8-0.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["222621"],"_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-676cd9423b414"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">McIntyre (pictured) makes a lot of things happen as a lefty. She has great approaches at the net and finishes things off with a variety of hits. She can even send soft ones to the back row. McIntyre pounds down overpassed balls. McIntyre is also a sound server and passer. She plays all six positions and produces at each of them. McIntyre won the East Cincinnati Conference's Offensive Player of the Year honors after finishing second with 369 kills and serving a conference-high 69 aces to go with 241 digs and 47 blocks, helping Kings go 19-5. McIntyre played a big role in the Kings Division I state championship run in 2023.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["412615"],"_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-676cd9423b478"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Beerman gave the Lions an offensive weapon this past fall and hopes to take on more responsibilities with the graduation of key hitters from last year's Division III state runner-up team. Beerman can take back sets in the middle and pound them down in addition to shoving balls to the side. Beerman can also tap balls off blockers for points. Beerman had 116 kills and 36 blocks, helping Ursuline go 21-7 overall and earn a share of the rugged GGCL title at 6-2.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Note from the Writer</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mike Graham has been writing for Prep Dig for nearly a year and has enjoyed getting to know the volleyball scenes in both Kentucky and Ohio.
