She has a natural ability to read both setters and hitters, allowing her to anticipate plays before they unfold. Her quick reflexes and efficient movement help her position herself effectively, making her a reliable presence on the court. One of her standout strengths is her reaction time—she reads and covers tips exceptionally well, keeping plays alive for her team. As she continues to refine her skills, Paris is definitely a player to keep an eye on in the coming years.<strong>~Theresa @prepdigdakotas</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["747006"],"_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-67cc7f5acb34d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lilly has undoubtedly caught our attention with her strong defensive presence on the court. She maintains a low and balanced posture in her passing, allowing for controlled and accurate ball placement. Her footwork is a key asset—she stays light on her feet and avoids being flat, enabling her to adjust quickly and make efficient plays. A consistent and reliable passer, Lilly delivers a high percentage of quality "3" passes to her setters, keeping her team in system. With her defensive skill set and court awareness, she is a standout player to watch in the 2027 class.<strong>~Theresa @prepdigdakotas</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="http://www.hudl.com/v/2Q8P4w">http://www.hudl.com/v/2Q8P4w</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["497482"],"_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-67cc7f5acb3a1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Remy is a player you need to see in action. Her footwork is fluid and smooth, allowing her to move effortlessly across the court. She demonstrates near-perfect footwork, which enhances her ability to react quickly and stay in control during fast-paced plays. Beyond her technical skills, Remy is a vocal leader who brings energy and confidence to her team. Her ability to communicate and guide her teammates makes her a strong presence on the court. With her combination of skill, leadership, and court awareness, Remy is a standout player in the class of 2026.<strong>~Theresa @prepdigdakotas</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="http://www.hudl.com/v/2Rrhpz">http://www.hudl.com/v/2Rrhpz</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["472548"],"_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-67cc7f5acb3f2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kate is a defensive powerhouse in the back row, anchoring her team with quick movement and exceptional court coverage.
