She is one of the most athletic attackers in this Ohio class with good footwork and an aggressive arm in the air. At 5'11, she has good versatility to what she can provide offensively at the net. This past March the Logan Elm product announced her commitment to Southeastern Louisiana University, one of the best DI teams in the Southland Conference.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["592207"],"_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":772064,"_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-680fbc7630239"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Yockey has good court sense and awareness as a middle that helps her make an equal impact on both sides of the ball. She is a quick twitch type of athlete in her ability to get up fast and over the net when defending. Offensively, she can be a high efficiency attacker as she develops good space to be able to swing with pace while moving the ball around towards space and edges of the block. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["403530"],"_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-680fbc7630287"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Clement is an undersized middle but has good physical tools to be an impact attacker through quicker options. She also has good versatility to be able to elevate and swing at the pins as well when needed. Following a big fall season for Berea-Midpark she made the move to compete with CVC's top 17U team this club season, bringing with her athleticism, solid competition experience, and confident point scoring effort.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["492640"],"_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-680fbc76302d0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The 5'10 McCullough is from Talawanda High School and made the switch this season to compete for the new TopSpin club. She has good athleticism and tools in the middle phase of the game. Somewhat undersized as a middle she can win at the net with her quickness and through good awareness throughout point flow to make a move and then stay engaged well for what the play needs next. Some of her best offensive action is away from the setter in front and overhead off one foot.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["728725"],"_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-680fbc7630317"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The 5'11 Sherwood is a very active middle given the intention she shows when she lands from blocking to get off the net quickly, find the ball, and track the play development to make herself available offensively. It is that action from landing to turning and running that makes the biggest impact in the space she can develop for herself to use her lift and touch point well upon contact. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
