It was on display during the LOVB Midwest Recruiting Showcase in June. Pint's quick feet and reflexes help her cover a lot of the court. Those traits along with getting a strong read on the attack put her in position to make clean passes. Pint shows a good feel in serve-receive and works well with her teammates in building a wall in the back row. The Prairie Hawks lost production to graduation. After a year as a freshman on their sophomore squad in 2024 and a strong club campaign, Pint looks poised to help the varsity this season.</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":"Kendall Ronnfeldt","_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":"5'5u0022","_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":"Clear Creek Amana ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"Iowa United ","_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-685956b03199d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">When you're on the varsity as a freshman at Clear Creek Amana, it's a heck of an accomplishment. The Clippers have become one of Class 4A's most consistently strong programs. Ronnfeldt looked like she'll be among a group tasked with keeping the train rolling during her performance at the LOVB Midwest Recruiting Showcase in June. Her setting is sound. The ball gets to all three front row positions accurately and on time. Ronnfeldt also holds up well in the back row as a defender. Her position flexibility should allow her to take on more responsibilities on a team with a chance to win it all. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["751358"],"_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-68595da037f01"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sager showed up at the recent LOVB Midwest Recruiting Showcase with a purpose. The Dike-New Hartford sophomore did not hold back. Even when she came up short, it wasn't for a lack of aggression or energy. That's not surprising considering her prep program preaches technical soundness and playing hard. Sager is an athletic outside with versatility to play the opposite pin. With explosion off of the court, Sager's leaping ability and hang time help her get on top of the ball. Her swing generates power already and has the potential to become lethal with three more years of high school development. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["730485"],"_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-68595fd8700c2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ames returns a lot of talent from last season's regional semifinalist team. Schaper ranks among the most gifted in that group as she showed during her freshman campaign of 2024. She handed out 257 assists sharing setting duties with a senior. With 103 digs, Schaper proved to have a broad skill set at the position. Schaper appeared ready for full-time setter duties with the Little Cyclones this season during the LOVB Midwest Recruiting Showcase in June. She comfortable got the ball to the three front-row positions with a soft touch and accuracy. Her quick feet help her get into place to make the cleanest set, and they also help with her defending in the back. Schaper is one to watch in 2025.</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":"[player_tooltip player_id='786370' first='Talulah' last='Schroeder']","_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":"5'11u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"32564","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Benton ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"Iowa United ","_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-6859655918059"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Schroeder announced her presence as a Benton freshman last season. She led the Bobcats in kills and ranked third in digs. I scouted her during last prep season and saw her again during this club campaign. She showed up at the LOVB Midwest Recruiting Showcase in June displaying a game that's continuing to advance. Schroeder possesses the physical gifts of height, long arms and athleticism, complementing them with improving volleyball skills. Her versatile set of skills allows here to play multiple spots in the front row. Schroeder's fast, powerful swing doesn't give the defense much reaction time. She and other talented returnees should have Benton moving up the standings in 2025.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["770432"],"_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-6859673eb4f90"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Tyler is playing up on a solid United 16-2 Elite squad this club season, which should pay off during his sophomore season on Wilton squad that should be formidable in 2025. I was impressed with Tyler's poise when watching her perform at the Windy City Qualifier and other tournaments this club campaign. She followed up those positive scouting opportunities with a strong showing at the LOVB Midwest Recruiting Showcase in June. Quick, athletic and versatile, Tyler is a complete player in the back row. She covers a lot of court thanks to her natural gifts with a good feel for the game's flow. Tyler reads the attack well and is solid in serve-receive.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
