Backrow Bosses: Libero Standouts from NV Freshman Showcase – Pt.1

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Prep Dig Nevada's Second Freshman Showcase Was One for the Books! </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Our second-ever Freshman Showcase went down this past weekend — and it was nothing short of epic. We doubled our number of attendees, which means double the exposure and double the opportunity for athletes to get on college coaches' radars — exactly what we're here for. 💥</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The gym was packed with raw talent, and while there were standout moments from every position, a few liberos and defensive specialists really rose to the occasion during both drills and team competition. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here's our first group of liberos —</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["784746"],"_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-68582866be180"} --> <!-- wp:image {"id":785665,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepdig.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2025/06/image_57f5c6.png?w=720" alt="" class="wp-image-785665" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Rylee turned heads with a serve that regularly put opponents in scramble mode or led to a shank. Her ability to read the ball off the hitters and control her angles led to several highlight-reel passes. She'll be headed to Coronado High School this Fall and brings both power and precision to her role as libero. -- Kantessa Bryant-Miller @prepdignv</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["776041"],"_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-6858219aeb3b6"} --> <!-- wp:image {"id":785823,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepdig.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2025/06/9061399249726693200-crop-946x622-1750608060.jpeg?w=800" alt="" class="wp-image-785823" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><br>Elena stood out with her clean technique and composure in serve receive. Her ability to pass with her hands and deliver consistent backspin on short balls showed a level of skill well beyond her age. Elena also brought a strong serve and poised court presence, making her a key contributor in every drill. She's headed to Arbor View next season and will be a major asset to their back row. -- Kantessa Bryant-Miller @prepdignv <br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["753141"],"_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-6858219aeb410"} --> <!-- wp:image {"id":785669,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepdig.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2025/06/image_520f96.png?w=720" alt="" class="wp-image-785669" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Blake earned a <strong>Top Performer award</strong> and proved that the transition from hitter to libero has been a smooth—and impressive—one. With a fast, tough-to-pass float serve and confident passing hands, Blake played with energy and leadership throughout the showcase. What stood out most was her continuous cheering for teammates. She'll be playing for Faith Lutheran High School this Fall and is a name to keep an eye on. -- Kantessa Bryant-Miller @prepdignv</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["772162"],"_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-6858219aeb452"} --> <!-- wp:image {"id":785834,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepdig.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2025/06/5659224581694803136-crop-946x622-1750608540.jpeg?w=800" alt="" class="wp-image-785834" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lilliana showed great consistency in both serve and serve receive. Her steady demeanor and ability to stay composed under pressure made her a reliable presence on the court. Lilliana is set to join Desert Oasis High School in the Fall, and she'll add solid depth to their backcourt. -- Kantessa Bryant-Miller @prepdignv</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["528899"],"_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-68582866be20b"} --> <!-- wp:image {"id":785667,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepdig.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2025/06/image_be570c.png?w=720" alt="" class="wp-image-785667" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Zoey, only a 2030, showed she can compete with older athletes and even earned a Top Performer award. We had no doubt that she could hang, but she emerged early as a standout. Her passing form was polished, and her serving was smooth and effective. Zoey more than held her own among 2029s, and likely could've thrived in the Stock Up Showcase as well. -- Kantessa Bryant-Miller @prepdignv</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Boost your exposure with Prep Dig Nevada</h3> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Follow/Tag/Collab with us on Instagram&nbsp;<a href="https://www.instagram.com/prepdignv?igsh=MWNqc3lrc2huZzZxcA%3D%3D&amp;utm_source=qr"><strong>@prepdignv</strong></a>&nbsp;</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Claim your FREE PrepDig player profile&nbsp;<a href="https://prepdig.com/prospect-index/"><strong>here</strong></a>.&nbsp;</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list -->
