Whether it's a heavy swing from the pin or a smart shot out of system, she finds a way to score. She is always a backrow option and a reliable presence in scramble plays, always knowing when to unload or to use a shot from her toolbox. Her consistency shows in numbers- 179 kills on the season with a .240 hitting percentage. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">2.</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["835532"],"_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-68ca4b954eceb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Legg brings a crafty, almost beach-style feel to the court with her smart shot selection and wide range of swings. She keeps defenders on their toes, rarely showing her hand before the attack. Dynamic in her approach, Legg not only finds ways to score but also creates opportunities for her teammates by pulling the block. Her versatility shows in the different routes she runs, whether it is a go, 2, or even sliding inside to run a 3, she keeps it unpredictable. Legg currently has 111 kills on the season hitting a .298.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">3.</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["738609"],"_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-68ca4b954ed32"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bailey brings speed and precision every time she takes an approach. When the set is high and in front, she wastes no time attacking the opening, leaving defenses scrambling. She is versatile on both pins, where she can rip sharp cross, or turn down the line with equal confidence. Even when she is out of system, Bailey continues to bring the power. Bailey is a go to hitter for Roosevelt on both sides which sets her apart from most hitters. She currently has 113 kills, and is hitting .217, becoming more reliable and dynamic as the season goes on. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">4.</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- 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":"Gabriela Medina-Valdez","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'7u0022","_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":"Skyline (Longmont)","_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-68ca4b954edb4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Gabriela's approach is unlike anyone else's- bouncy, deceptive, and tough for blockers and defenders to time. Add in her high reach, and it's almost guaranteed to find the floor.

She's especially effective scoring down the line or threading the seam, forcing defenses to adjust. Steady throughout long rallies, Myers has a strong sense of timing, knowing exactly when to unleash her swing. Whether she's finding open gaps or pushing opponents out of system, she consistently puts pressure on the other side of the net. She currently has 111 kills with a .201 hitting percentage.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Final Takeaways</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These hitters bring more than just numbers- they bring consistency, timing, and dynamic play. Each knows exactly when to swing, how to keep rallies alive, and how to finish them off.
