The 5'10 pin attacker is picking up where she left off this past high school season where she was 1st Team All State pick in D3, leading Barron to a state championship.&nbsp; What is really unique about Halverson is she might be more lethal from the outside than she is from the right side which I don't see in many left-handed attackers.&nbsp; She is also a big time point scorer from the backrow.&nbsp; Dynamic would be an understatement for Halverson.&nbsp; The whole team is dynamic for ClubRed where they are going to be an exciting team to watch throughout the 2025 club season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["746119"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":748366,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-67a2a2934fb89"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This MWP 16 Purple squad came into the tournament with something to prove, starting the weekend off with a big three set win over a tough [program_tooltip program_id='428662' first='Wisconsin' last='Ice'] team.&nbsp; A middle blocker who made a big [program_tooltip program_id='431954' first='Impact' last=''] was [player_tooltip player_id='746119' first='Emma' last='Wirz'].&nbsp; The Class of 2027 prospect who preps at Eden Valley-Watkins provides a lot of length and athleticism where the other side of the net had to know where she was at all times.&nbsp; She can terminate anywhere along the front line and was an active blocker, being in the right place at the right time.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["741889"],"_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-67a2a2934fbdd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I had seen this team play at the Prep Dig Resolution earlier in January and I was so impressed with the improvements they made in a short amount of time.&nbsp; Their ball control was clean and their offense was definitely in a flow.&nbsp; One of the key attackers on this team was Kailia Casberg, a sophomore outside hitter/ds who preps at Holmen High School just outside of La Crosse.&nbsp; I was impressed with her athleticism and hand contact to the ball where she was able to hit is square, causing chaos on the other side of the net.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":748367,"_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Chika Nwakama","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2028","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"null","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"32924","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Marshall","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"SWMNVB","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67a2a2934fcb3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">SWMNVB out of the Marshall, Minnesota area always has teams who are well trained, athletic, and so gritty when it comes to head to head competition.&nbsp; They were final four finishers at the Prep Dig Minnesota Slam.&nbsp; A really fun athlete was Chika Nwakama who had a huge presence at the net.&nbsp; She is a middle/right side attacker who could go get her hands above the net, press, and be a physical presence.&nbsp;

This past weekend at the Minnesota Slam I was able to see a lot of new players, athletes that it might have been their first time playing live in front of me or at a Prep Dig Events.  We had a solid combination of athletes from Iowa, Minnesota, and Wisconsin which made for some exciting matchups from start to finish.
