Her heavy swing stood out among the 2027 pins; Gonzalez worked through, around, and off the block without issue. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":726872,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepdig.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/12/Ava-Gonzalez.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-726872" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["460680"],"_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-674d4b77691ff"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The 2027 prospect displayed a hard-angle swing, hammered down overpasses, and made impressive plays on defense to earn a Top Performer award. Bigby's length and athleticism complement her smooth all-around game; she is a six-rotation player who continues to add strength and power. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":726870,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepdig.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/12/Cadence-Bigby.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-726870" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["483581"],"_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-674d4b776924c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Longspaugh played with confidence on the outside during the Expo, and coaches mentioned her husting work in the back row and serve-receive. The 2027 from Stanwood has also played middle, but her athleticism and movement translate well to a spot on the pin. Longspaugh has the length and power to put balls away; her game should grow as she trains in the outside position. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":726888,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepdig.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/12/Whitney-Longspaugh.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-726888" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["499395"],"_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":726889,"_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-674d4b77692ee"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Peebles has a fast arm and generates terrific power when she attacks from the outside. Coaches quickly chose her for a Top Performer spot, and more than one observer mentioned her calm demeanor and explosive arm swing. Peebles has typically played up in age; this year, it's expected she will play at her level, which is hard news for opposing defenses to hear. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":726889,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepdig.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/12/Shannara-Peebles.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-726889" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["724708"],"_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-674d4b776933e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Court coaches at the Expo loved Fettig's approach and footwork as an attacker from the pins and the pipe. The Lincoln 2027 prospect works slow to fast, with excellent closing speed and explosion. Fettig dropped in a crafty roll shot and ripped kills to the seams while playing gritty defense and competing hard with her team. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":726874,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepdig.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/12/Emlyn-Fettig.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-726874" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["558355"],"_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-674d4b7769386"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Schock can lace a swing to score down the line or cut a ball inside the block from the right side. The 2027 from Graham-Kapowsin uses her lefty swing to score in various ways, finding high hands and deep corners for kills. Coaches noticed her timing and outstanding press as a blocker. Schock has also played middle, and it showed with her hard work defensively. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":726891,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepdig.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/12/Brynn-Schock.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-726891" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["434974"],"_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-674d4b77693ce"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Showcase coaches raved about Conner's positive court presence and ability to terminate at the Washington Expo. The 6'2" lefty plays energetically, communicating with her teammates and adapting quickly. Conner has all the length and blocking ability college programs are looking for in a right-side; she swallows up tight sets and can shut down outside attackers. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":726892,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepdig.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/12/Maddy-Conner.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-726892" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["499493"],"_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-674d4b7769415"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The Emerald Ridge sophomore had a great event, showing her versatility as a setter, attacker, and blocker. Frederick has true 6'2" length and the quickness and footwork to track down difficult second balls. When she takes swings, she is hard to stop; her leverage, power, and vision help her dominate defenses. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":726886,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepdig.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/12/Peyton-Frederick.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-726886" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
