<!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">The class of 2028 showing out in Seattle!</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 15's teams were battling hard in Downtown Seattle over the weekend, and we found new prospects to add to the 2028 Watchlist. These five players were all in for their squads, fighting hard for wins and supporting their teammates. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["778853"],"_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-66e122bec2f34"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kirschner played consistently for Holy Names as a freshman and has made an even bigger impact as a six-rotation outside for WVBA during club. The 2028 prospect has an accurate arm, good defensive range in the middle back, and stays ready to take a pipe swing when her 15 Adidas team finds her. Kirschner was a difference maker for her team during the 15 Open competition. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["778851"],"_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-66e122bec2fe5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The 5'2" Kadera is extremely quick and can pick up shots and deflections that should find the ground for kills. She spent time playing libero for Mt. Si during her freshman year, and she gives her SIVBC 15 Typhoon team terrific options at the libero and DS positions. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/19032953/673128fc084dd514252fdbbb' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68368c2872951"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["778847"],"_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-66e122bec3028"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The lefty from Gonzaga Prep in Spokane helped power her CPA Drew 15 to a second-place finish in the 15 Open; Grainger is part of a strong right-side rotation for the team. The 2028 prospect has a powerful swing she likes to blast down the line with heavy topspin. Grainger is a solid athlete and is smart with her reads; she accurately identifies opposing hitters and setters, setting the block in the correct spot. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["778843"],"_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-66e122bec3069"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The middle blocker from Bellevue Christian and FEVA is springy and aggressive playing the middle blocker position. Olson attacks fifty-fifty balls and jousts at the net strongly, and uses her height and athleticism to deliver a strong block. Her offensive game is still developing; Olson is getting off the net in transition and taking advantage of openings in and around the block. Bigger swings will come as she continues to work hard on her game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["778850"],"_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-670754cc355ce"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ajayi is long and athletic, with a whippy arm swing and the ability to score from either pin. She ripped some kills at nearly the 10-foot line during the ECC and can swallow up a tight set when she is blocking. Ajayi looks like she may have already passed her listed 5'9" height, and may end up closer to 6 feet going forward. She is a go-to scorer for NPJ Seattle 15 National and should be a featured player for Auburn this fall. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">FREE PLAYER PROFILE</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Would you like to add your Profile picture, video, club team, second position, and more?
