In that championship match, she delivered an impressive 11 kills while maintaining a remarkable hitting percentage of .529. Earlier during pool play, Emory averaged an impressive .539 hitting percentage and accumulated 23 kills. As the season progresses, she has maintained a strong offensive presence, currently hitting at an impressive .486 clip over the first two weeks.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["490209"],"_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-68c1af2de0079"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">In a thrilling match against Jefferson City, Nixa secured a hard-fought victory with scores of 28-30, 25-17, 23-25, 25-21, and 15-8. Gwen was a standout performer on the outside, delivering an impressive 26 kills while hitting at a solid .345. She also contributed defensively with 11 digs, setting a new career high with those 26 kills.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["222058"],"_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-68c1af2de00f5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">After finishing second at the Borgia Tournament, the Longhorns bounced back with a decisive sweep over a talented Lindbergh team, winning 25-10, 25-23, 25-21. Katie Byergo played a pivotal role in the victory, finishing the match with 11 kills and an impressive hitting percentage of .550. During the Borgia Tournament, she tallied 24 kills while hitting .381, showcasing her offensive prowess.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["732914"],"_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-68c1af2de016d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Branson's setter is off to a strong start this season, matching her season high with 32 assists in a close 1-2 loss to the Rock Bridge Bruins. She is on the brink of reaching a significant milestone, just shy of 1,000 career assists, which she is expected to achieve within the next week.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["612171"],"_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-68c1af2de01de"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Peyton has taken charge of the offense, running it at a fast tempo and helping Nixa achieve a 4-1 start to the season. She recorded 43 assists in a win over Fayetteville, AR, followed by 31 assists against Webb City, 43 in a close loss to Helias, and 27 assists in a sweep of Republic. With her current trajectory, reaching 1,000 career assists by the end of the season seems well within reach.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["487562"],"_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-68c1af2de024e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Mara has been on fire, especially in matches against Jefferson City schools. She reached a career high of 38 digs during a tough 21-25, 25-21, 22-25, 18-25 loss to the Helias Crusaders. She then followed that performance with 32 digs in a thrilling 3-2 victory over Jefferson City, demonstrating her defensive skills and determination.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["512842"],"_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-68c1af2de02ba"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">During the Borgia Tournament championship match, [player_tooltip player_id='512842' first='Rachel' last='Buchanan'] delivered a standout performance, helping her team secure a 2-1 victory over Parkway West. She tied her career high with 26 digs, showcasing her defensive capabilities as a libero. Rachel continues to excel in her role and is a crucial asset to the team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
