These five caught the attention of many.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["486676"],"_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-67c5e3a631d55"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Abney turned in a stellar senior year for the Cardinals. Abney is a dynamic hitter that keeps blockers and defenders guessing until the very last second. Her body may indicate the ball is going one way, but it ends up going a different direction. She finds gaps in blocks and mixes up speeds on her hits. Abney is also a sound passer and server. Abney had 200 kills, 120 digs and 43 aces for George Rogers Clark this past fall, helping the Cardinals go 17-11.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["557445"],"_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-67c5e53f46627"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hayes played a huge role in helping the Hawks win their first 18th District championship since 2017. LaRue County has a number of dynamic hitters and Hayes consistently set them up for success. She does not set the same ball twice and opponents have to be weary of her shots to far corners. Hayes does a great job tracking down balls on defense and sends sound serves across the net. Hayes had 977 assists, 321 digs, 88 kills and 65 aces, helping LaRue County go 25-13 and make it back to the 5th Region Tournament. Hayes will be playing both volleyball and softball at Brescia next year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["448299"],"_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-67c5ea9ab97ec"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Biliter gave the Lions sound all-around play at all six positions. Biliter served as the team's primary setter, but could also come up with big plays hitting, serving and passing the ball. Biliter consistently makes sound first touches in the back row and sets up hitters for success. Biliter mixes up setter dumps to throw off defenders. Biliter may not have hit balls the hardest, but she found ways to angle them off blockers and to the sidelines away from defenders. Biliter had 583 assists, 354 digs, 91 aces and 84 kills, helping Pineville go 25-13 and win a second straight 51st District championship.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["523551"],"_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-67c5ea1bd3abc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Stolz consistently shuffles her feet and makes crisp passes to get the offense going. Stolz positions herself well behind blockers, then lets her sound fundamentals take over. Stolz had 182 digs for the Indians this past fall, helping them go 21-17 and win a fourth straight 44th District crown.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["537916"],"_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-67c5ea1bd3b5b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Driscoll (pictured) gives the Lakers sound all-around play. Driscoll finds ways to put balls off, over and around blockers at the net. Driscoll mixes in soft hits to land between defenders. She also provides sound net coverage reacting quickly to blocked balls. Driscoll adds in sound first touches. Driscoll had 113 kills and 199 digs fo the Lakers this past season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Note from the Writer</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mike Graham has been writing for Prep Dig for one year and has enjoyed getting to know the volleyball scenes in both Kentucky and Ohio.
