<p class="text-gray-700">Maile's high contact point on her swings makes her attacks difficult for opponents to defend. Able to run 3s, 1s, and slides, Maile's offense is varied, making it hard to stop her. Defensively, alongside standout teammate Chloe Cook, the two seal the net and provide crucial block touches for their defenders.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='828032' first='Jade' last='Jackson'] took over her game against North Torrance, with a 0.6 hitting percentage, 3 blocks, and one dig. Even as an undersized blocker, her fast arm swing and her high vertical made her unstoppable in this match. Her quick footwork allows her to get off the net quickly and open herself up as an offensive threat in transition. Defensively, she seals the net and presses well, not only earning blocks, but also slowing down swings with her block touches.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Kalei is a dynamic player who plays both the middle and right side. While she may be undersized for a middle blocker, Kalei has a cannon of an arm that bounces off the platforms of her opponents. Regardless of what position she plays, she has a powerful approach that contributes to her heavy arm. Her deep, hard swings make it difficult to block, resulting in many points for her team.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Sydney's fast footwork makes her dangerous both offensively as well as defensively. Her athleticism and vertical, along with her height, enable her to hit sharp angles that are difficult to stop. Even when she doesn't have the ball, Sydney gets off the net quickly and efficiently to open herself up as an offensive option for her setter. She moves well between the pins and effectively seals the net, providing blocks and block touches for her team.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Victoria's talent comes from her dynamic hitting. She can turn her swing in both directions, tip when necessary, and hit 1s, 3s, and back 1s. Her fast arm swing and high contact point allow her to hit both sharp angles and deep corners, finding the open court. She has great footwork and follows her setter across the net, especially when running 1s.</p>
