<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These middles didn't just fill space — they owned it.

Her vertical makes her a threat, and her positivity makes her a team favorite. Explosive and aggressive, Lyric brings major energy to the net. Her vertical is unreal — she gets up fast and high, and when she swings, it's fast, clean, and mean. Quick off the block and super active in transition, she's the kind of middle who can dominate a match before the other team adjusts. <strong><em>~ Samantha Fitzgerald @</em>BenchtBeast</strong></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":763647,"_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Lucy Reintjes","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'11u0022","_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":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"[program_tooltip program_id='580830' first='Synergy' last='Force'] G","_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-67e596a12de3d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lucy is a middle who plays with power and purpose. Her block is a wall — consistently closed and disruptive — but what sets her apart is how fast she reads and adjusts to pin hitters. She's a true point-ender, hammering quick sets with fierce accuracy. And her attitude? Always smiling, always uplifting her team — she leads with light <strong><em>and</em></strong> presence. Lucy is a force in the middle. What makes her stand out? She adjusts quickly to pin hitters and carries a joyful, uplifting energy that fires up her team. A smiling assassin at the net, and so fun to watch on the court! <strong><em>~ Samantha Fitzgerald @</em>BenchtBeast</strong></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":763641,"_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Heaven Lucero","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'4u0022","_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":"Denver South High School","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"Rocky Elite","_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-67e596a12df38"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">When it comes to playing the middle, Heaven is the total package — a 6'4" middle with nimble footwork, a powerful arm, and an advanced feel for the game. Heaven is a rare combination of height, speed, and raw power. Her footwork is precise, her block pin-to-pin is airtight, and she snaps the ball down with authority. She's not just a presence — she's a <strong><em>problem</em></strong> for any offense. With strength, height, and smarts, Heaven is built for the next level — and she plays like she knows it. <strong><em>~ Samantha Fitzgerald @</em>BenchtBeast</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These middles stood out not just for their size and power, but for their mental game. They know where to be, how to get there fast, and how to finish the point when they arrive.

These middles didn't just fill space — they owned it. Their reads were quick, their blocks firm, and their offense unstoppable.
