<p class="text-gray-700">You can't talk about the top pins in Nevada without mentioning Angelina's name—she's arguably in the top 5. Whether she's playing on the left or right pin, she knows how to turn it on, delivering powerful, quick swings that fly past the block. Her offensive skills are elite, but she's also got a strong back row game that adds even more value to her all-around play. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">Angelina's energy on the court is contagious, and her versatility makes her a key player in every rotation. As the back-to-back 4A Player of the Year, she has been a dominant force in Nevada volleyball, playing a pivotal role in Durango's back-to-back 4A Championship Titles. Expect big things from her in the upcoming club season. <strong><em>Angelina is currently uncommitted.</em></strong></p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Carsyn is no stranger to playing against some of the toughest competition in the nation, and she brings a wealth of high-level experience to the team. She helped lead nationally ranked Bishop Gorman to two back-to-back 5A state championships and 5A Southern League titles, cementing her as one of the top players in Nevada. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">Known as a solid hitter, Carsyn's defensive skills truly skyrocketed this season, showcasing her well-rounded abilities and making her an even more valuable asset to the team. With her extensive experience and leadership, Carsyn is ready to continue making a big impact with this team and should find a college home soon. <strong><em>Carsyn is currently uncommitted.</em></strong></p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Aliyah comes from a family of talented volleyball players who played at the collegiate level, and she's definitely next in line. As a strong right-side hitter, she has a powerful arm swing and is a tough presence at the net, shutting down opponents' outside hitters. She played a key role in leading Lake Mead Christian Academy to the state championship, finishing the season just ten kills shy of 200. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">With her “middle blocker” teammates Kennedy or Jalynn on the court, it's going to be nearly impossible for mediocre teams to get past them. Standing at 6'1", Aliyah combines her height with top-notch offensive and defensive skills, making her an ideal prospect for any college program. <strong><em>Aliyah is currently uncommitted.</em></strong></p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Reagan was a key player in the back row for Coronado, consistently digging some of the toughest hitters in the state. Her defensive skills are top-notch, and she's developed an incredible ability to read the game, handling powerful swings and tricky tips from the best teams in Nevada. With her experience and relentless intensity, Reagan will bring a valuable defensive presence to this team. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Kennedy's name is always at the top when it comes to being one of the best middle hitters in the state. Offensively, she's incredible at making quick moves and launching fast swings, consistently getting on top of the ball and beating blocks. Her speed is unmatched, and her blocking is just as efficient, making her a force on both sides of the net. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">Along with her front-row dominance, she pairs her skills with a tricky float serve that earned her a ton of aces during the regular season. Her versatility and all-around game make her one of the most dangerous players on the court, and she's only getting better as she continues to develop. <strong><em>Kennedy is currently uncommitted. </em></strong></p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Jolianna has been incredibly consistent for Shadow Ridge and surprisingly not snatched up by a college yet. Her numbers were impressive in her final school season, but this upcoming opportunity will really allow her to shine. Playing alongside another great setter and some of the top-ranked hitters in Nevada, </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<p class="text-gray-700">Salazar will have the chance to showcase her skills in a whole new way. With practices and matches alongside such talented teammates, she's sure to have her best season yet during club. Watching her growth in such a short amount of time will be exciting, as she continues to fine-tune her craft and solidify herself as one of the top setters in Nevada. <strong><em>Jolianna is currently uncommitted.</em></strong></p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Jalynn has been an integral part of Durango HS's incredible success, playing a key role in their back-to-back 4A state championship victories. As a middle blocker, she dominates at the net with smart attacks and powerful blocks that shut down opposing hitters. Jalynn's passion for the game is evident in everything she does on the court; she plays with purpose and is always intentional with her ball placement, increasing her chances of getting a kill.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">Beyond her impressive front-row skills, she also has a strong serve that keeps opponents on their toes.

Her float serve earned her numerous aces this season, and she also steps in as a right-side hitter when needed, showing off her versatility. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Brooklynn is a major threat both in the middle and on the outside pins. She can hit just about anything, playing with high energy all game long and being very intentional with her attacks. She played a crucial role in helping Gorman secure both the 5A Southern Region and 5A State Title wins. On top of her offensive skills, she is also incredibly solid in the back row, proving that she can play all the way around.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">Brooklynn is a strategic hitter with an insane vertical, allowing her to hit past some of the tallest blockers in the game. Her ability to quickly adapt and play different roles—whether as an outside hitter, middle hitter, or defensive specialist—sets her apart. No matter where she's placed on the court, she will contribute significantly to the team's success. <strong><em>Brooklynn is committed to UNLV.</em></strong></p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Leimaile is a blocking machine, dominating at the net with her ability to get completely over it and press the ball straight down. Standing at 6'2" with an impressive vertical leap, it's no easy task for opponents to get much past her. When attacking, she opens up fully to the setter and rotates her hips for maximum power, a clear sign of solid training and technique. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">Along with her skills as a middle blocker, Leimaile can also play right side effectively, demonstrating her athleticism and versatility. Her adaptability makes her a key asset to any team, capable of excelling in multiple roles on the court.
