Watching her compete, you'd never guess she's still in middle school. Having seen Sydney in a prior showcase, I can confidently say that she is a wise setter far beyond her years. A rising star in the setter world, Sydney has a natural feel for the game that sets her apart from her peers.   Her court awareness and quick decision-making are on par with seasoned high school setters, showcasing an innate ability to read the game and adapt in real-time. She has an exceptional knack for connecting with hitters, delivering precise sets, and maintaining control of the court's rhythm under pressure. What's even more impressive is her poise—Sydney approached the showcase with the maturity and composure of an experienced athlete.   Off the court, Sydney's dedication and work ethic speak volumes about her drive to succeed. She's constantly refining her skills and expanding her understanding of the game, which, combined with her natural talent, suggests there are big things ahead for her.

Whether it was a perfect pass, an off pass, or even a tight pass, she consistently managed to adjust and place the ball in the perfect spot for her hitters to make a strong attack. Not only is her IQ through the roof, but, when necessary, she has mastered the ‘side set' to the pins when passes are tight. Her hands are incredibly clean, and her ball placement is always on point, giving her hitters along the net the best chance to score. Papion also had the opportunity to showcase solid defensive skills in right back, and she rarely, if ever, called for help—even when the passes were way off target. The freshman is already playing at an advanced level, and I wouldn't be surprised to see her name on the state's assist leaderboards in the near future. --Kantessa @lasvegasvbanalyst @prepdignv     [player_tooltip player_id='727031' first='Hailey' last='Lauritzen'] is an outstanding setter who possesses the athleticism, skill set, and leadership qualities that make her an immediate asset to any collegiate program.
