Dig Atlanta State Rankings but that is only because they have not been released for her state yet.  She plays volleyball for Archer High School and also plays club for the M2 volleyball program.  Miss Denmark is one of those players who plays fast and furious all over the court.  There is nothing that she cannot do on the sport court in my opinion.  She is a true six-rotation left side attacker who excels both in the front row and the back row.  Truly electrifying on the pins as an attacker, this young lady can get up off of the ground quickly and bring some heat when she swings.  Being a high-riser when attacking is what will draw a lot of attention from college coaches, but when they see what she can do with the ball once she is airborne will make them stay and watch the rest of her game.   Call her the “Doctor” because this kid has ever shot in her arsenal and uses them at will to score.  We loved having her in the gym and can't wait to cover her again.  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

Dig Atlanta State Rankings but that is only because they have not been released for her state yet.  She plays volleyball for Hebron Christian Academy and also plays club for the M2 volleyball program.  Miss Clifford showed great posture while jump setting to each location.  Her compact frame also has tons of power as she pushed the ball to her pins.  Her hands looked identical during contact and release, which tells us that she has great attention to detail with her technique.  There was no hesitation from her as she looked to set her middles early and often.  She truly understands how important it is to run her middles in order to set up her pins with some splits in the block.  It was really nice to see her react very quickly and track down passes from her team in order to run a solid offense.  Not only did she possess awesome physical skills, but she was such a joy to watch because of her positive attitude.  Her court coach really enjoyed having her lead the team and that is a big statement when it comes from a coach.  Please help us congratulate her on earning a Top Performer award for this showcase. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!--

according to our Prep Dig Florida State Rankings.  She plays for Gateway High School and also club for Florida Momentum Volleyball Academy program.  There are middles who take up a lot of space as a blocker and then there are true shut down blockers who can patrol he net laterally and be a game changer.  This is exactly what we saw from Miss Matos all night long at the showcase.  I loved how she drove hard toward her setter and unloaded on the ball when she thundered away.  The way she understood how to turn on the ball to hit around the block to score told me a lot about her ability to play at the next level.  There is no doubt in my mind that she can help a college roster in a few years.  Armed with a huge right arm and tons of power, she is a load for any blocker to try to handle.  This young lady can flat out ball in the middle and is extremely athletic.  Please help us congratulate her on earning a Top Performer award for this showcase. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!--
