She played the backcourt rotations and made a major impact on the team's offense. Tompkins ran an extremely fast-paced offense, sending bullet sets to the pins and consistently feeding her middles, making the lives of opposing blockers very hard. She also did a very good job of turning passes off the net into hittable sets, in a big part because of her ability to move around the court with great quickness. The setter also served very well and came up with nice digs at the right back position.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["775223"],"_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":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-682211f35214e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">George was part of the Texas Legacy 15 Adidas team that finished second in the event with six wins and one loss, giving the team the double in the division. She displayed a good combination of physical and technical skills, delivering solid production throughout the day. George was incredibly steady and reliable with her playmaking, distributing the ball in a simple and efficient way and remaining accurate with her locations even in out-of-system plays.

Her playmaking played a big role in the team's solid campaign, as her ability to get her hitters in good positions to score made their offense very smooth. Edwards' excellent technique and her ability to set against the flow gave a lot of dynamism to the team's offense and helped their hitters put the ball while it confused opposing blockers and defenders. The setter also contributed from the service line with nice floaters and took on hitting duties when at the net, displaying vision and skills to put the ball down with well-placed shots.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- 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":"Tatum Wilson","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2028","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"null","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"32561","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"Austin Performance","_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-682211f352327"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Wilson was one of the setters of the AP 15 Baden team that returned home with a sixth-place finish after getting five wins and two losses in Houston. A lefty, she was very consistent with her setting and displayed a lot of strength and technique to get the ball to the pin from anywhere on the court. Wilson also showed to be a fantastic server, going on long runs on multiple occasions and registering many aces and getting opponents out of system with her tricky floaters, which went down right in front of opposing passers. The setter also played solid defense at teh right back position, generating many transition plays for her team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
