<p>Illinois has some fantastic volleyball talent to watch. I'm back again to preview 3 more conferences. Listed below are some players who showed out last year on the court. The Girls Catholic Athletic, Southwest Prairie, and Southwest suburban conferences have some great schools and volleyball to be seen this season.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Really really good passer. Has a great motor and creates great angles with her platform to drop dimes to her setter. She moves like a player who is ready to go to battle, always ready! Passes are on the money, and makes great digs on hard hits. Quick feet gets her into position on every play. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Skylar hits the sky when she leaps up for the kill. She can swing from anywhere on the court. Impressive vertical and powerful swing. Is smart with her tips as well, goes up looking like a swing then positions for a tip. Can hit from any position or side of the court. One to watch. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">Abigail does a great job as a hitter. She can spray the ball all over the court. She seems like a seasoned hitter. She is smart with her hits, knows when to take some off and hit the middle, hits down the line, whatever the shot she's got it. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">Watched some video on Eden. Looks like she plays some all around OH for Romeoville and may even play some Libero for club. Regardless, looks like she has all around skills. Makes effortless digs and passes, and has a great feel for what hit to use as hitter. Smart player with a lot of skill.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">Giavonna is fun too watch. Has a ton of lift and bounce with a great vertical. Really gets on top of the ball with her swings. She is really fun to watch as she moves quickly side to side getting blocks and reacting at the net on defense. Her fantastic vertical makes her a force as a MB. One to watch this season. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">Tessa is a DS/L for Yorkville High school and is a super hard worker in that backrow. Had a chance to watch her and she does a great job digging balls that are hard driven hits. Keeps plays alive. She has a nice serve as well, zone serving, that helped get aces for her and the squad. Has quick feet, gets low, and is ready to go.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">Rylei is a 6 rotation outside hitter for Yorkville. Does a nice job in serve receive and displays all the shots as that OH. She does a fantastic job extending that arm up when approaching for kills and can smash it down the line. Saw quite a few kills from her. She also does a nice job adjusting to sets and still getting good swings on the ball. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">This MB is a presence at the net. MB who is a force on offense and defense. Powerful hits, and monster blocks. If your high school team is playing against Ozoh be ready. Good footwork and explodes into her blocks and hits. Pretty quick swing and you better try to hit around her, good luck.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">Kaitlyn is an aggressive setter. She has great vision and if you have a hole in your defense she will find. I saw some great setter dumps and she is able to swing and hit as well. Has nice soft hands and good touch. You can tell she plays with confidence and it shows. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">This DS/L is fantastic. You can tell she is sure of herself on that court. She sniffs out tips and is really good on defense getting digs and making on point passes. Moves really well, strong legs and base. She has a good feel of where the ball is going and meets it there quickly. You want her on your backrow. </p>
