2027 Rankings Update: MB & RS Spotlight!

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Next, we will focus on the middle and Right Sides as we review the 2027 Rankings Update. Our #1 and #2 ranked players play on the right side, with #1 [player_tooltip player_id='499493' first='Peyton' last='Frederick'] also playing setter and showing she can handle the outside hitter spot. #2 ranked prospect [player_tooltip player_id='434974' first='Maddy' last='Conner'] is a strong 6'3" lefty who is a dominating blocker and attacker on the right. Here is a look at the positional ranks and several players throughout the updated list. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["499396"],"_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-677e793459345"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lingenbrink was a terminal attacker on free balls for Centralkitsap this fall. The 6'2" sophomore delivered powerful swings on "gap" sets and can finish with her left hand when she needs to keep a ball in play. She has strong hands and works hard to set up the block. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["499494"],"_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-677e7934593d4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Parcher is an excellent basketball player; she may find her spot on the hardwood for a lucky college program, but she will also have options on the volleyball court. The athletic Parcher played the pin for Lynden this season and handled six rotation duties after playing MB last season. Her talent and athletic ability are noticeable; her timing, power, and feel are terrific and she was better this season after doing big things as a ninth-grader. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["520855"],"_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-677e793459428"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Rainer was a dominant force playing for Mary Walker at the 1B State Tournament; her aggressive blocks and thundering kills had opponents thinking twice at the net. She has excellent size, moves well and served exceptionally well on the season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["521114"],"_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-677e79345948f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Waldorf worked on the right side for the Lions during the school season and looked fluid, springy, and aggressive as an attacker. She has outstanding length, and her approach stayed slow to fast, with force and urgency in her attack. Waldorf was unafraid to attack the block; she blasted swings out of bounds off hands for kills all season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/position-ranking-table {"name":"acf/position-ranking-table","data":{"class":"2027","_class":"field_65cfb7374abb9","position":"32924","_position":"field_65cfbfcb19ad6","national_rankings":"0","_national_rankings":"field_660c1d73c0e49","state":"29309","_state":"field_65cfb88a603fe"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-677e80eeb3e99"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Right Sides</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["554223"],"_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-677e7934594df"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Baker was a star 2027 performer playing in the middle for Curtis, and the Vikings capped off a terrific season with a 4A State Tournament Championship. Baker plays with fire and creates energy and momentum for her team with huge stuff blocks and crucial kills. The sophomore increased her hitting percentage by .200 points over last season's number, becoming a reliable option along the Curtis front row. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["521107"],"_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-677e79345952c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Adams has a nice feel for the game, and her arm swing and hand contact are excellent as an attacker from either pin. Her attempts and hitting percentage climbed together throughout the season; she racked up 11 kills in a win against Prairie in mid-November. We expect Adams to have a break-out club season and deliver in a big way as an upperclassman at North Thurston. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/position-ranking-table {"name":"acf/position-ranking-table","data":{"class":"2027","_class":"field_65cfb7374abb9","position":"32925","_position":"field_65cfbfcb19ad6","national_rankings":"0","_national_rankings":"field_660c1d73c0e49","state":"29309","_state":"field_65cfb88a603fe"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-677e793459c7c"} /-->
