Today, we're diving into the power players who stepped onto the court and put on an unforgettable show. These Juniors and Seniors showcased unbelievable talent, leaving no doubt that years of dedication and training have paid off. From dominating at the net to leading their teams with confidence, these athletes proved why they're forces to be reckoned with. Let's take a closer look at these outside hitters who stole the spotlight!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["664695"],"_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":733031,"_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-67635d53b1c13"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Brooklyn was nothing short of amazing from the moment she stepped on the court. Playing with one hand in a cast, she still dominated the showcase with incredible passing accuracy and control. Her net presence was equally impressive, showcasing great formation and attacking every open spot with precision. Brooklyn stood out as one of the top players of the second session. Coaches, take note—if she's this impactful with one hand, imagine what she'll bring to the game when she's fully healed and playing with two!~Theresa @prepdigdakotas</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["732313"],"_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-67636c66587aa"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Karlie delivered another standout performance, solidifying her spot as a player to watch.
