<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The largest tournament in the club volleyball season in Texas, the Adidas Lone Star Classic will have its fourth and last week of action this weekend, in Dallas, with teams in the 15s, 16s and 17s age groups playing from Friday to Sunday.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The event, which in 2025 celebrates its 38th anniversary, is the largest USA Volleyball National Qualifier held in the entire country, attracting teams from almost every other American state to compete at the <a href="http://www.dallasconventioncenter.com/">Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center</a>.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The host state, Texas obviously gets to have a massive number of teams on the court, with clubs from all over the Lone Star State competing for the bids. The top prospects in the state will be in action this weekend and we're highlighting some players worth everyone's attention. In the final article of the series, we'll list some of the right side hitters who can make a huge offensive impact for their teams:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["523942"],"_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-6807d58bbe296"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Pease will be among the main scoring options for Alamo 15 Premier in the 15 Open division. A right side hitter with great size and solid technical skills, she is very reliable offensively and can carry her team's offensive load with consistency. A lefty, Pease utilizes her high contact point extremely well to score points, and what makes of her such a productive scorer is her ability to see open spots on the opponents' court and send the ball there with her skilled arm. She's also an elite blocker, setting her block extremely well at the pin and playing aggressively above the net to get stops.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBndz5LyClQ","type":"video","providerNameSlug":"youtube","responsive":true,"className":"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBndz5LyClQ </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["698119"],"_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-6807d58bbe2f8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Fitzgerald will be a key player for her Flyers 16 USA – Andy team in the 16 Open division. She's an extremely well-rounded player, who can play different roles for the team. A lefty, she has an incredible offensive range and is also very versatile, being capable of scoring from the right, the left and even the middle. Fitzgerald makes the most of her high contact point to beat opposing blockers and is also excellent with her shot selection. An elite blocker, she is very good at taking up space from opposing hitters at the net and can also contribute in serve-receive if needed.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/21477725/6668cccabc7637de21d5bf42' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6807d58bbe4c7"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["229048"],"_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-6807d58bbe517"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hoff will be an option on the right for the [program_tooltip program_id='462263' first='TAV' last='Houston'] 17 Adidas team that will contend in the 17 Open division in Dallas. She has many different shots in her offensive arsenal and is very good at picking the right options to beat blockers and defenders, which makes her very difficult to stop at the net. A lefty, she also does a very good job of switching gears and can follow up on a hard-driven swing with a well-placed tip, keeping opposing defenders guessing. Hoff also contributes defensively to the team with her ability to read opposing hitters and make last-second adjustments with her blocking, getting in their way, or forcing them into making errors.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zM1mjLNsuko","type":"video","providerNameSlug":"youtube","responsive":true,"className":"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zM1mjLNsuko </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- 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":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Charlise Smith","_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":"5'9u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"32925","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Southlake Carroll","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"[program_tooltip program_id='431179' first='Integrity' last='Volleyball Club']","_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-6807d58bbe5b9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Smith will play for Integrity 17 Intense Blue in the 17 Open division in Dallas. She's a great offensive option for her team with her impressive hang time and her heavy right arm. Smith does an excellent job of benefiting from her leaping ability to wait until the last possible moment before making contact with the ball, which gives her an opportunity to scan the court across the net and make better decisions. She also makes a big impact with her blocking and is very disciplined to peel off the net when the attack comes from the right and stay in position to get tips or dig sharp-angle shots.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><a href="https://sportsrecruits.com/athlete/charlise_smith?video=5062092">Highlights</a></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["254283"],"_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-6807d58bbe63c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">English will be with the [program_tooltip program_id='745880' first='Houston' last='Stellar'] 17 Elite team in the 17 Open division. A lefty with tremendous hoops, she's always a challenge to opposing blockers and defenders because of how diversified and unpredictable her offense is. English can hit quicker sets on the right, but does well when working with higher ones - she's also very prolific from the left and the middle back positions. She has a heavy and quick right arm, which she uses to beat blockers at the net, but is also very aware and smart to turn to tips when that's the best option. English has been playing as an outside hitter for her high school team Manvel over the last two seasons and has significantly improved her passing and defense, evolving into a true all-around player. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/NevaehEnglish_1/status/1910372617430958479","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/NevaehEnglish_1/status/1910372617430958479 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
