<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Many talented players showed up to compete in the bracket busters. Uncovering new talent is always the most fun for us scouts.

However, strong servers can be game changers. Kent is one of those game changers. Her float serve has so much movement on it that teams often have difficulty handling it. Kent came through at the bracket busters racking up aces and forcing teams out of system. She dug her team out of a hole in one set, was a momentum generator in others, and helped her team cinch some big wins.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["762332"],"_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-67eb324f9ad52"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">McCarthy was a consistent libero for her tempo team as they battled in bracket busters. McCarthy was solid on serve receive and digging. She read the opposing teams offense well, positioned herself properly, and was able to dig many cross and line shots. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["522950"],"_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-67eb324f9ad99"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Van Groll was a scrappy libero for her Spiketown team. She has quick feet and fast reflexes which led to many impressive saves. Van Groll did a good job reading the opposing teams attackers and ran through the ball to pick up tips and rolls. Van Groll was also solid in out of system passing to the pins which lead to many kills for her team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["731588"],"_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-67eb380376db2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Anschutz is a 6 rotation outside that showed a ton of grit this weekend. Anshultz was a go-to attacker for her team and took big swings from the front and back court all tournament long. Anschutz is quick, has good footwork transitioning off the net, and attacks at a high point of contact making it difficult to block her.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["739949"],"_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-67eb380376e1b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Fournillier is a fiery middle blocker. She read the opposing teams setter very well and had good footwork to move side to side to put up a solid block, stopping attackers repeatedly. Fournillier also took big swings out of the middle herself. She has good court awareness and transitions off the net swiftly in order to be an offense threat. Fournillier also provided excellent block coverage for the pins. She had quick reflexes, recycled the ball very well, and had several nice saves.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["741084"],"_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-67eb380376e69"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Soenen was a force in the middle this past weekend for her Elevate team. She was able to read the opposing teams setters very well, anticipate the ball, and closed the block to stop many attacks on the weekend. Soenen was also a big threat hitting out of the middle. She had quick footwork, a high reach, and a fast arm swing that lets her get on top of the ball and over most blockers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
