<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In this preview, we highlight the liberos to watch as they prepare to prove why they are essential to their teams' success. From jaw-dropping digs to impressive serve receives, these players are ready to elevate their game and turn heads this weekend. Keep an eye out for these defensive standouts as they look to make a lasting impact on the Expo!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["504409"],"_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-6766073529370"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Elise is coming off an impressive junior season for Racine Case. She totaled 335 digs this fall and is on track to surpass the 1,000-dig milestone next school season. Webster demonstrates remarkable resilience and consistency in the back row, and I am excited to see her shine at the Expo this weekend!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["324004"],"_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-67660735293d7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Madalene is such a smooth player, and her confidence on the court is key to her success. She excels at stepping in to handle out-of-system balls and does an excellent job setting both pins with consistency. She was a pivotal factor in Grayslake Central's success this fall, and she is definitely a player to watch at the Expo! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["673748"],"_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-676607352941f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Delanee may only be a sophomore, but she plays with the poise and skill of a senior! Her speed enables her to cover an impressive amount of court, and her energy is unmatched. She excels at setting the ball out-of-system and had a standout season for Richmond-Burton, helping lead the team to an impressive 36-2 overall record. I can't wait to see Delanee compete at the Expo this weekend!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["443054"],"_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-6766073529464"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Charlie is poised and confident in the back row—you would never guess she is only a sophomore. She constantly sets her teammates up for success, turning nearly impossible digs into playable balls. She was the queen of the backcourt for Libertyville this past fall, and I have no doubt she will be turning heads this weekend!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

In this preview, we highlight the liberos to watch as they prepare to prove why they are essential to their teams' success. From jaw-dropping digs to impressive serve receives, these players are ready to elevate their game and turn heads this weekend. Keep an eye out for these defensive standouts as they look to make a lasting impact on the Expo!
