<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Goforth is a 6 row outside hitter on her Conway Juniors team. Goforth's high energy and effort on the court is unmatched. Goforth and Bailee Fournier are a dangerous duo always playing beach together. Goforth is scrappy in the back row picking up deep balls in the middle back while also having a strong arm swing on the left pin. Goforth is someone to watch as she continues to grow and get older.</p>

<p>Frazier is a very high energy middle scoring that can score many points for her team. Frazier is really reliable for gaining momentum and boosting the teams energy with her competitive drive. Frazier is really great at swinging around the block and hitting into the opposing back row seams. Frazier is definitely a leader on her EVA team and is someone that is fun to watch.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Samantha Fuller - [program_tooltip program_id='581540' first='501' last='Volley']</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Fuller is a very well right side attacker on the 501 14.1's team. Fullers court vision allows her to take swings into open areas on the court, scoring multiple points for her team. She is a consistent attacker not making many errors which gives trust in her setters to give her the ball. She is also a pretty good blocker.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Fournier is a setter running a 6-2 on her team setting from the back row and swinging from the front row. Fournier is a very impressive young setter consistently giving her attackers clean sets. Fournier also puts up an impressive block for her age and is very scrappy in the back row. Fournier's beach experience has made her a dangerous attacker as she is extremely well at placing the ball.</p>

<p>Whitney is a very scrappy libero out of Central Arkansas. Though she is class of 2029, she plays up on the HBJ 15 National team this year. That can be credited to her all out effort and consistent serve receive. There is not a ball that will hit the ground without Whitney hustling for it. She is also really good at reading the attackers and putting herself in the correct spot. </p>
