She moves her feet quickly, on balance, and while facing to angle her platform with good force control upon contact. Her defense from the left back position can anchor her team's transition as she pursues with big effort and ability to make plays in all directions whether diving to the floor, overhead, or on the move.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["774779"],"_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-6834e5ea6c344"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Martin has good potential to be one of the next impact liberos in a long list for AVC. She has a good foundation in her skills while also displaying good composure in how she fills her role as a DS/L for AVC's top 14U team. She moves with efficiency in serve receive and has good reaction on the defensive side to lead with her platform and with angles to dig high towards the middle of the court and give her setter time to develop their offense. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["725537"],"_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-6834e5ea6c38e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">At 5'8, Horsely has good size in her physical frame that creates advantages as a libero. She has a long platform and can create range in all directions in both serve receive and defensively. What I like about her serve receive action is that she maintains good body position and balance as he moves her feet with her platform out front that helps her adjust her angles well upon contact. Defensively, she is efficient in her first step the contributes to her covering a lot of court. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["758025"],"_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-6834e5ea6c3cf"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This TSE team is a high potential squad competitively and with all their teams, they typically have sound ball control and good options for first-touch impact. Moine, a 2026 Watch List prospect, is no exception. She executes her role with great composure in how she reads the play development and reacts with efficiency in her angle production.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["589356"],"_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-6834e5ea6c40d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The primary libero for this team, Longworth is on the 2027 Watch List with good opportunity to arrive in the rankings with the next cycle. She has good quickness in her defensive reaction and pursuit. This effort includes good preparation that helps her to get a lot of touches to create opportunities for her team offensively. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
