I'll generate 8 numbers and the 8 that come up will be where the player's name appears on the alphabetical list. I'll then spotlight those players in the article to help give them some more attention.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Let's see who has the lucky numbers for this month's edition:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='765785' first='Kaylynn' last='Johnson'], RS Clarkston/Legacy</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Johnson is having a really nice club season on the right side for Legacy. She's got nice hang time and plays above the net. The late gear in her swing really produces a nice pop on the ball and has been consistently effective in scoring.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='553582' first='Kalina' last='Fast'], OH Wavery/Ballistic</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Fast is a prospect that could be a shining star out of the Lansing area. She's got good length and a lot of explosiveness on the outside. As she gets more reps in high-profile matches against other powerful hitters, it should bring out another level to her game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='536574' first='Megan' last='Putra'], OH Brighton/L2</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Putra's reach allows her to high-point the ball well, but it also looks as if there's more athleticism and explosiveness that she will be able to tap into as the speed of the game picks up in the years ahead. Putra takes a good approach to the net and should remain a consistent finisher.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='587001' first='Brenna' last='Mcmaster'], OH Trenton/Michigan Elite</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>McMaster is able to play on either pin and has really good pacing on her shots. She generates steady power does a nice job of attacking different areas of the floor. With her swing already in a good place, she can add little details to her game consistently to keep improving as a prospect.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='742026' first='Rylee' last='Anderson'], S GR Christian/FaR Out</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Anderson is a promising setter that moves smoothly on the floor and has good touch on her sets. She's also shown the ability to be a defensive standout by being able to read the play well and anticipate where the ball is going.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='744594' first='Audrey' last='Collier'], MB/OH Rochester/Legacy</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Collier is showing the ability to put down a nice slide attack. Her footwork and tempo are at a good place right now, but still show plenty of room to improve. Collier's been able to pick up her intensity and is playing with more instinct. Her skillset should continue to develop in a rapid fashion over the next year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='765778' first='Yukari' last='Murayama'], DS/L Northville/L2</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Murayama stays light on her feet and moves well, and has consistently shown the ability to support her hitters effectively. She can stay low to the ground and make clean passes to her setters, while also bringing a solid serve to the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='584598' first='Allison' last='Stakoe'], OH Bloomfield Hills/Legacy</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Stakoe has an athletic follow through on her swing that allows her to deliver the ball with big power at a high rate. All of her movement can be explosive and sudden, but it's usually pretty effective. Stakoe also puts in a lot to be a defensive strength for her team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
