With her quickness, she was an impact contributor on both sides of the ball as she scored through varied options while getting up off the court quickly when defending. She will return to Sycamore this fall for her sophomore season and as their top returning offensive threat from 2024 during which she earned 2.4 k/s at a team leading 39% kill rate. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["739590"],"_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-687adecdd4616"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Holm has a good skill foundation offensively and continues to get good training and competition throughout the cycle with 2024 Ohio DII state champ Seton during the high school window and also as part of [program_tooltip program_id='430852' first='Tri-State' last='Elite'] during club. Competing for TSE's second 15U team, she was a primary option in the middle showing good arm speed at times. She is among the top 30 at this point in the 2028 Ohio rankings as this list continues to grow and will continue to be evaluated for gains in her quickness, lift, and overall impact.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["471599"],"_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-687adecdd467a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Alexander had a solid first season for Fairlawn as a freshman in 2024. With nearly 150 kills on the season, she averaged 1.9 k/s earning all-league honorable mention recognition. With her tools coming off a club season with Team Atlantis, she will likely increase that output this next fall. At 5'11, she approaches aggressively and uses compact but fast arm to swing with good power when on time. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["783033"],"_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-687adecdd46c8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Weakley's stock grew this club season as she has made good progress in her foundation as a middle. She has bettered her footwork to improve her spacing and timing that allows her to use her 6'2 length more aggressively and at a high contact point. She will return to Ross (Fremont) this fall and could make a splash in her sophomore season for the Little Giants.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["790575"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":846433,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-687adecdd4723"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Roberts has a nice offensive skill set as a middle. Competing for Infinity this past club season, she provided good range in her offense to be able to swing and score through the edges of the court. At 6'0, she tracks the ball well and gives herself good space to develop that arm control. A reserve for Canfield's varsity team last season, look for her to increase her opportunities this fall. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
