<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>These rankings take into account both kills and hitting percentage- it's not just about putting the ball down, but also about doing it with consistency. </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Here are the hitters making the biggest impact so far this season:</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["811241"],"_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-68d383a82562a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Rothermich is one of the most efficient middles in 3A, hitting a .500 with 156 kills on the season. She is extremely quick in the middle, and always ready for the ball. She is especially ready when she is running a 3, where she will put it straight down between defenders. Rothermich keeps defenses scrambling even when she isn't getting the set, pulling the blockers and opening lanes for her teammates, showing just how valuable she is to Alamosa's offense. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["835412"],"_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-68d383a8256ac"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Smith's energy is infectious, and she backs it up with the ability to swing with authority. She's always fast on her approach and anticipates the ball well, making her tough to slow down. With 144 kills and a .436 hitting percentage, Smith is both efficient and explosive. Whether ripping cross-court, turning line, or finding hands, she gives Eaton a reliable scorer who changes the momentum with every swing. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["812539"],"_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-68d383a825728"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Wright is only a sophomore, but she is already proving to be one of the most dangerous middles in 3A. With 120 kills, and a strong .408 hitting percentage, she combines size and quickness to score in a variety of ways. She is excellent at finding splits in the block and thrives running quick 1's and 3's. If the sharp angle to zone 5 is open, Wright wastes no time to put the ball down. Wright is becoming a constant threat at the net and a rising star to watch.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"TessaMercedes Jackson","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'9u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"32564","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Montezuma-Cortez","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68d383a82582b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jackson takes on a big role for Montezuma-Cortez, and she delivers. With 186 kills and a .326 hitting percentage, she is one of the top producers in 3A. Quick to the ball and armed with the high reach, Jackson uses her athleticism to her advantage. She has the ability attacking sharp cross court with precision or turn it down the line last minute. Jackson is a go-to option at the pin, bringing constant firepower that keeps defenses scrambling.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["734490"],"_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-68d383a8258a0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Anderson is the go-to hitter for Colorado Academy, and she embraces that role with confidence. With 145 kills and a .306 hitting percentage, she provides steady production at the net. At 6'1, Anderson has the ability to hit over the block, but what sets her apart is her decision-making. She is smart with the ball and chooses the right shot for the moment. Whether powering through the bock, tipping short, or rolling deep, she finds ways to score and keeps her teams offense flowing. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Strong and Consistent at the Net</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These five hitters are shaping the season in 3A Colorado volleyball, combining power, precision, and consistency to lead their teams.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
