Mizuno SPVB Presidents Day Challenge: Setters that Shined

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The SPVB Presidents Day Challenge kicked off today and showcased some great talent on the courts. I was impressed with many setters as they brought their A games with some stunning reversals, amazing setter dumps, and outstanding defense and serving. The following are some of the floor generals that had shinning performances on day 1.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Remember to follow me on Instagram @Prepdigamy and Facebook @PrepDig Amy for up to date event coverage, stories, and more.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["750871"],"_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-67b106b3aea20"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Andrew and her 608 Juniors team battled some hard hitting teams on the first day of pool play. Andrew did a fantastic job getting her feet to the ball and delivered clean sets to her pins. Andrew also was scrappy on defense as she tracked down numerous tips, pushes, and dumps.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["734119"],"_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-67b10d7a36290"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Candler dominated in the 15s division. Running a 5-1, she set a consistent, nice ball to the pins, found her middles in transition, and was a beast from the serving line. In a 3rd set thriller to start the morning off, Candler severed 14 of the 15 points to lead her team to a 15-0 win. Candler is going to be one of those players to keep tabs on through the season and for years to come.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["694123"],"_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-67b1112718d2e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Gerrietts was impressive in the first round of pool play. She moves quickly and has great setting hands to deliver a clean ball to her pins. She read the court well, dazzled with some great reversals, and unleashed some setter dumps that frazzled opponents. Gerrietts worked equally hard on defense. She was all over the court and made some huge saves.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["750876"],"_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-67b11c53d0588"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Williamson is an all around great setter and player. She moves quickly, can find her attackers anywhere on the court, and sets a nice, clean ball to just the right location. Playing 6 rotations, this 6' lefty also delivered for her team by putting down some hefty kills from the right pin and by putting up a huge block.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["284080"],"_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-67b12105f089d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I have seen Duff play a couple of times now and each time, she does not disappoint. One of Duff's greatest strengths is her consistency. Attackers know that the tempo and location will be spot on and thus are able to capitalize on that each and every time. Duff also moves the ball around well and isolates her attackers. She ran a well balanced offense, leading her team to a 3-0 finish on the day.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["734080"],"_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-67b1252e6b189"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Schuele is a force on the court. Running a 5-1 offense, this lefty setter runs a quick tempo offense and gets all of her hitters involved. She is also very fluid and smooth with her movements. She makes it look easy as she quickly tracks down everything and delivers balls spot on to their desired location. She reads the court well and will even attack herself on the second ball to score multiple points and throw off opponents.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
