Liberos who impressed at the SLC Showdown

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Washington Liberos got it done with hustle and grit at the Salt Lake City Showdown Week 1 Showcase, and an Oregon prospect also nabbed a Top Performer award to ensure our neighboring state was represented. The Week 1 Showcase was a two-hour event where players competed hard, had fun, and matched up against players from across several USA Volleyball (USAV) regions. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["244109"],"_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-67f7420ce81d1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Betschart earned a Top Performer award at the Showcase; her hustle and communication were top-notch, and court coaches recognized her hard work at the event's conclusion in Salt Lake. The Tumwater libero has terrific movement and quickness. She runs down balls to the corner and consistently hits the floor to keep a rally going for her team. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["750289"],"_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-67f72f46d8d14"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The 2028 Libero from La Center has a strong base and platform; she handled hard swings and tough serves with finesse at the Showcase. England stays low and in control; she hustles to her spot and gets her feet planted just before she reacts to a swing or shot. Court coaches singled out England's smart choices and strong hands when she stepped in to set the second ball. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["763644"],"_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-67f7420ce827f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Showalter joined the Showcase from Central Catholic High School in Oregon. The freshman played with confidence and positivity at the Showcase and earned a Top Performer award. Her serving stood out to the court coaches; she located well, driving passers back and finding the seams to knock opposing teams out of system. Showalter reads attackers and drives forward hard to dig up tips and off-speed shots. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["755081"],"_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-67f7420ce8307"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Rauch was locked in playing the libero spot and had a solid weekend in the back row at the tournament for her Excel NW 16 Gold squad. The 2027 prospect passed the ball with excellent feel and a balanced platform at the Showcase; her setters were able to run the entire offense, with Rauch handling her part during serve receive. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
