Dig Florida State Rankings but definitely turned our heads with her awesome play at the showcase.  She plays volleyball for Parrish Community High School and also plays club for the Elite Volleyball Prep Academy program.  Miss Wilson had some of the softest and most beautiful hands in the gym as she delivered perfect sets to all of her hitters.  It didn't matter which location or tempo she chose to set, the delivery was extremely accurate.  Numerous coaches throughout the event mentioned her name to me as a standout performer.  We moved her to the older court to see if she could hang with them and she blew the competition away with her abilities.  Her tall frame is exactly what college coaches will be wanting for their program once they see her perform.  She is primed to run a 5-1 offense and battle at the net.  There is no doubt in my mind that she can play at the next level in a few years if she continues to work hard at her craft.  I was loving watching her use great footwork to track down every pass and dig from her teammates.  She has tons of potential to be a great one and I strongly encourage you all to give her a look.  Please help us congratulate her on earning the Top Performer award at the showcase. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

according to our Prep Dig Maryland State Rankings.  She plays volleyball for Holy Cross High School and also plays club for the Maryland Juniors volleyball program.  Miss Wolfe was arguably the most highly skilled scorer in the entire gym at the showcase.  There were numerous times when she rose up and throttled the ball with violent arm swings that resulted in uncontested kills that made everyone in attendance take notice.  This young lady has an amazing vertical to go along with her lengthy extremities and this makes her very difficult to block.  Her approach can be described as graceful, elegant, but yet vicious and lightning fast like a cheetah going in for a kill.  We will definitely be keeping our eye on her and think you should also because she is a game changer and still has tons of years of improvement ahead of her.  Her court coach had some great remarks about her play and nominated her for this award.  Please help us congratulate her on earning a Top Performer award for this showcase</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Dakota is currently an unranked prospect in the 2028 Class according to our Prep Dig Georgia State Rankings, but that is only because they have not been released for her state yet.  She plays for Norcross High School and also club for the A5 volleyball program.  There was a lot to like from Dakota as she really showed some awesome abilities on the court during the showcase.  One thing I truly love about watching her is how balanced her footwork is as she is moving to the ball.  She takes some solid shuffle steps and keep her weight evenly distributed on the balls of her feet to keep her quick on the court.  Miss Washington also showed a relentless pursuit of the ball when she had to chase down deflections or shanked passes from her teammates.  The way that she handled hard driven balls with ease told me that she understands how to cushion the ball with her platform.  This young lady is extremely athletic and plays the game with a lot of passion.  She was a true joy to have in the gym and I will definitely be watching to see how she progresses throughout her career.  Please help us congratulate her on earning a Top Performer award for this showcase. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block
