She excels in out-of-system situations and never hesitates to hit the floor to keep a play alive. Her effort is relentless, and she takes pride in making sure no ball hits the ground without a fight. A true competitor with grit and quick instincts, Andrea brings toughness and reliability to the backcourt. --Kantessa Bryant-Miller @prepdignv</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":785955,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepdig.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2025/06/image_fd4fe6.png?w=720" alt="" class="wp-image-785955" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["784754"],"_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-685dc3d3c57b8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Avari is a strong, aggressive hitter who knows how to put the ball down with authority. She brings solid offensive firepower, but what really sets her apart is her team-first attitude. She never stopped cheering, high-fiving, and lifting up those around her. --Kantessa Bryant-Miller @prepdignv</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":785985,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepdig.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2025/06/image_259828.png?w=720" alt="" class="wp-image-785985" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["785153"],"_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-685dc3d3c59ae"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Yuliana ran the offense, showing the kind of control you want in a setter. Her ball placement is sharp, and she makes smart decisions in the flow of play—whether it's delivering a clean set, dropping a well-timed second ball, or catching the defense off guard with a deep push. Her high volleyball IQ sets her apart and made her a reliable leader on the court. --Kantessa Bryant-Miller @prepdignv</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["772779"],"_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-685f06dc7e478"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Averie is a powerful attacker who brings serious heat at the net. Her explosive approach and long reach set her up for powerful, high-point contact. She follows through with a fast arm swing that's tough for defenders to track. With her physical tools and explosive style, she's poised to be a major impact player at the high school level. Averie is headed to Nationals with BBVC 15 Justin. --Kantessa Bryant-Miller @prepdignv</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["785002"],"_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-685f06dc7e503"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Although listed as an outside, Kenzie made an impact in the back row with her standout passing and relentless hustle.

One of the most exciting parts of the Freshman and StockUp Showcases is discovering unranked players who rise to the occasion and make a strong case for a spot in the rankings. Several athletes came in under the radar and walked away as clear standouts-showing skill, athleticism, and game IQ that deserve recognition.
