<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It is time to raise your stock in our wonderful series of showcases that are coming to Texas at the end of this month.  We get lots of messages on social media and emails that ask how players can get on our radar or improve their ranking on our website.  The answer is very simple.  Our scouts need to see you in action.  What better way is there than to participate in live drills where our scouts will be in attendance.  Our showcases are second to none since we are the only brand to give coverage before, during and after the event ends.  You don't want to miss out as there will be some of our state's best players already signed up to showcase their skills.  Let's meet a few of the players who will be participating. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["847185"],"_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-688048f71a9f1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Miss Carethers is currently an unranked prospect in the 2029 class according to our Texas State Rankings but that is only because we have not released them yet.  Want to talk about power?  I introduce you to a young left side attacker who has tons of it.  Just watch this young lady take an approach on a high tempo set and she will show you how to use power in your legs, core, and upper body for some jaw-dropping kills.  This freshman showcase is going to be one heck of a show with ballers like Bree taking part.  I cannot wait to analyze her skills in person and really determine where she falls on the State Ranking List.  Stay tuned for more on what we see from her play in an article following the showcase. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["745758"],"_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-688048f71aa59"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Miss Walker is currently an unranked prospect in the 2029 class according to our Texas State Rankings but that is only because we have not released them yet.  When an attacker can utilize a super fast wrist snap on the ball at the point of contact, it will add so much pop into the pace of the rebound.  This is exactly what Rhys does with every attack.  She can get up fast off of the ground and high up in the air during her approach and this is not good for anyone trying to defend her on the court.  This youngster is very explosive from all locations on the court and can really play above the net at an elite level.  Her reach and ability to contact the ball at the true peak of it will frustrate every single blocker who tries to battle against her.  I cannot wait to see how she performs during the showcase. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block

{"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["770386"],"_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-688048f71aaa8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Miss Shelvin is currently an unranked prospect in the 2029 class according to our Texas State Rankings but that is only because we have not released them yet.  If there is one thing I love on a volleyball team, it is a middle who moves with a purpose.  Bailey has great footwork both laterally and during defensive transition to her touch point.  The fact that she is on time to run a quick attack during her third rotation serve receive formation tells me all I need to know about her speed and ability to understand her role in the offense.  At the net, her blocking and overpass skills are elite.  She can definitely score tons of points without getting the set.  When middles can affect the game in more ways than just swinging, this makes them invaluable for any roster.  I am sure that she will showcase these top tier skills against some of the best freshmen in the state at the event. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Do not hesitate to sign up now so that you do not miss out on the opportunity to compete
