Jersey is really smart at knowing when she can swing hard and when to take a little off and roll shot in an open area. Jersey is one of the highest kill leaders at her club. Her back row is also pretty impressive as she does well at reading the attackers and aligning herself accordingly. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["761791"],"_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-684112cb80f3a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">McGhee's height is one of the many contributions to the success she has had. She also has a high contact point and a strong snap to her wrist that makes it very difficult for the opposing defense to defend. She can swing above most blocks. You can see her swinging a lot of hard shots down the line and scoring many points from that. She also puts up a wall that is difficult to swing around.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["743652"],"_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-684112cb80fa9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Freeman was the Arkansas gatorade player of the year for a reason. She is all around an amazing player. Her volleyball IQ, hustle plays, smart shots, and tough serving make her one of the strongest players in the state. Freeman also puts up a really tough block for the opposing attackers to hit around.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["569562"],"_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-684112cb81015"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jeffus is a very scrappy libero on her EVA 16 Elite team. She is really good at reacting before she thinks. Her reaction time is a huge reason to the success of the back row on her team. She is great at opening up to deep serves to give her setter a three pass and is great at running through the short serves. Jeffus out of system sets are also pretty good.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["744126"],"_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-684112cb8107f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Emma is an aggressive setter that loves to dump the ball. Schnackenberg is one of the most underrated setters in the state. Her connection with the outsides on her team are dangerous. Schnackenberg also has a pretty tough float serve to defend and is good at dropping the ball short on the opposing team. Make sure you get the chance to watch her at nationals.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

There are many of talented athletes and teams from Arkansas that will be headed to Dallas for nationals in June and July. Make sure these girls on are your list to watch in the weeks to come.
