<p class="text-gray-700">I truly enjoyed watching Malia play this past weekend and she is really going to make a name for herself. When she is hitting, she has great body control. She does a great job closing her hips to the ball, which gives her even more power behind her swing. She heavily utilized in serve receive and doesn't disappoint when the ball comes her way. Her passes go directly to the setters head, and the same goes for her defense. She is constantly moving when she is in the back row, following the ball all over the court. She is the type of player that will do anything to ensure that her team wins.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Delaney's swing is indeed a formidable challenge to defend. She utilizes her entire body in each hit, and when she receives an optimal set, it is evident that she aims for a powerful line shot that is exceedingly difficult to counter. Observers can witness her ponytail ripple with each contact with the ball, signaling the intensity of her strike. Her serve is equally as lethal as her offensive attacks. I have observed her achieve multiple aces consecutively, contributing to a remarkable 5-point run. Furthermore, Delaney excels at tracking the set for potential blocks and remains vigilant concerning overpasses. She consistently maintains a heightened awareness, ready to intervene even when the ball is not in her immediate vicinity.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Jaci is such a powerful hitter. She closes her hips when hitting, adding extra power behind her swing. Her line and cross-court shots seem to be unstoppable. She is very mature and smart with her shot choices. When she is in the front row she knows she is going to get the most sets, and the opposing block learns that very quickly as well. She takes this opportunity to know not to swing at every ball because that is what the block is anticipating. Jaci also has such a great serve that causes a lot of trouble for the receivers on the other side of the net. Her jump serve floats right over the tape of the net and drops right behind the 10 ft line.</p>
