Counting Down The Days

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>For me, July represents the "Dog Days" of the volleyball season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We're close enough to the prep season to smell it.

She is preregistered for the Wasburn Elite Camp. She is an athlete I look forward to seeing compete in person, as I have only seen her game film and closely tracked her statistics. Last season, she finished with 379 kills and 99 blocks for the Wichita Warriors, a homeschool program. The Elite Camp will be a big test for her to see who she competes with some of the best in the state.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["586626"],"_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-686d2549a0007"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Maize South prospect, Davee, has also registered for the Washburn Elite Camp.

She is ranked No. 59 overall in the Kansas Class of 2028. She did not play varsity last season for the Tigers as a freshman and that team is stacked once again. She played club ball with the Topeka Fury, a team that I missed last club season. She should benefit by working out in front of Prep Dig scouts and getting to work with coaches from the [program_tooltip program_id='428889' first='Dynasty' last=''] program.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
