<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This weekend concluded with the Las Vegas High School Invitational pre-season tournament and many high school teams showcased tremendous talent from top to bottom, through and through as they prepare for the first week of competition. Prep Dig Nevada stopped by Sunrise High School on day 2, to check it out and see what the noise was all about. As easy as it is to acknowledge only top ranked &amp; already known talent, that's not what Prep Dig exposure is all about! We're about ALL talent &amp; exposure for players that work hard and desire be seen and this weekend showcased a number of "Sleepers" you better be ready for because they're making BIG NOISE, right now! Check these ballers out.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["876949"],"_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-68a257c10be5d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">If you haven't heard of or seen [player_tooltip player_id='876949' first='Jophielle' last='Kovach'] with your own eyes, she is "MUST SEE" on an immediate basis! She absolutely demands the attention when she is on the court. Standing around 5'11 and easily approaching at 9'5, this varsity Sophomore holds nothing back when she is on the attack for the Cheyenne Desert Shields!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jophielle presents a fundamental transition, a very strong approach with a high elbow &amp; solid follow through that results in strong over the block contact resulting in destructive down ball kills that are very difficult to return. She poses a strong defensive presence with her stature and showcases a very strong service game that'll be exactly what the Desert Shields lean on through this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Go check this 2028 baller out because she will definitely rise through the ranks and make BIG NOISE this season! – Anthony Jones (Prep Dig AJ)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["877300"],"_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-68a25c1ed7d49"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of, if not the best 2029 Setters in the valley (Yes, Prep Dig NV Scout AJ said it) is Shadow Ridge's varsity Freshman quarterback, [player_tooltip player_id='877300' first='Lea' last='Scott']! You have to see this high IQ, unbothered, resilient young leader put on a clinic. Lea simply knows how to magnify the moment, take over when necessary and set her team up for success especially when it counts.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Lea displays an extremely strong service game that'll be a huge asset for the Mustangs and she ended this weekend with an outstanding 71 total Assists, showing just why she is STANDING ON BUSINESS! Follow this Freshman now, because she is one of the few who'll have an absolute &amp; immediate impact for her varsity team because she's making BIG NOISE, right now! – Anthony Jones (Prep Dig AJ)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["721973"],"_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-68a257c10bec0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='721973' first='Ella' last='Goldy'] is one of the 2027 class' most consistent attackers and she made it a point to show up and show out during the LV Invitational. Ella is very sound in her approach, possesses the kind of read-steps, high bow &amp; arrow snap through swings that result in effective line shots, cross court kills and tooling with ease. Ella's ability to make swift in-game adjustments keeps her very relevant.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ella elevates with an easy vertical, establishing her prominence &amp; effectiveness as a pin-hitter for Somerset Sky Pointe and we cannot wait to see what this season will hold for her. This 2027 prospect had a very strong summer, showcasing her talent for some of the nation's top Division I programs, and you will definitely hear the BIG NOISE coming from this baller. – Anthony Jones (Prep Dig AJ)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["573493"],"_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-68a257c10bf0d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='573493' first='Arial' last='Fox'] is absolutely tested, tried, proven, and plays with the confidence &amp; swag that a true upperclassman should! This 2027 attacker showcased a very NOISY &amp; tough persona throughout the LV Invitational, no matter the outcome of the match and this stood out to in many ways.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Arial is a non-stop workaholic that brings her strength, tenacity and no-quit mindset to the court. Displaying solid back-row passing from each zone, she follows it up with a well-rounded approach, high elevation and thunderous down ball attacks.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">She is an undeniable leader for the Legacy Longhorns and we cannot wait for what this season will bring.

There is no doubt that she will cause havoc on the offensive end for Shadow Ridge, but the NOISE she makes on the defensive side is just as loud and she's setting that tone right now. Sulema came to LV Invitational determined to shake up varsity scene and she will leave no doubt as to how driven she is.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sulema presents tremendous footwork, a vocal presence and the ability to fire her team up for very aggressive play. Keeping her head on the swivel enables her to follow the ball efficiently, and displaying high, quick angled attacks will prove to be very effective throughout this season. Check this prospect out because she'll have a BIG season. – Anthony Jones (Prep Dig AJ)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["722029"],"_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-68a257c10bfa1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">If you haven't heard of this baller, you're sleep! Let me introduce you to 2027 MB/RS, [player_tooltip player_id='722029' first='Trenai' last='Blaylock'], who is simply the truth and her time is now! Flying under the radar, but dropping bombs along the way, this high flying, aggressive &amp; NOISY baller is absolutely ready to showcase why she'll rise through the ranks and seek to make the Centennial Bulldogs, a team that'll compete.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Trenai is very active, very assertive and her determination is always on display, especially when she is in attack mode. She features a very high closed block, that penetrates opposing attacks and the LV Invitational was the perfect place to make BIG NOISE, setting the gym on notice. Go check out the Bulldogs because Trenai will draw your attention from warm-ups to the last point. – Anthony Jones (Prep Dig AJ)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These are just a few athletes that balled out this weekend, setting up what'll become a phenomenal first week of competition for the 2025-2026 season.
