Five 2029s Making Solid Varsity Offensive Contributions

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='786692' first='Elle' last='Eckert'] </strong>- Hilliard Davidson<br>The 5'10 pin works hard to get herself into good situations to maximize her tools as a hitter. Her footwork as part of her attacking mechanics is executed well as she does a good job of building momentum and getting her feet to the ball, along with getting good drive up off the floor. She is impressive through a quicker pin offense when she is on time and finds space as she can swing with good purpose behind the ball. Eckert leads the Wildcats' offense at 3.0 k/s along with 5.6 d/m. She is one to keep an eye on as she develops her six-rotation tools. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Ruth Pryor</strong> - Miami Valley Christian Academy<br>[program_tooltip program_id='431851' first='MVC' last=''] is currently in first place in the [program_tooltip program_id='431851' first='MVC' last=''] Gray division at 5-0 in league play (15-4 overall). Pryor is a key part to their success as she is the top performing freshman in the league offensively. Currently sixth overall in total kills, Pryor averages 2.8 k/s on a .261 efficiency. She has been on a hot streak over their last four matches as she earned double digit kills (4.0 k/s) in each contest as [program_tooltip program_id='431851' first='MVC' last='']A went 3-1 over that span. <br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Rylee Wilkinson</strong> - Marietta<br>Wilkinson recently put down 21 kills for Marietta (11-4 overall) as they won a 3-2 slugfest with Eastern at the end of September. She also contributed 13 digs and three blocks in the victory. The first-year middle has good net presence on both sides of the ball and with good timing and her reach she can control her location well. Swinging for double-digit kills in nine of their 13 matches, Wilkinson is averaging 3.1 k/s to lead a balanced Tigers offense. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Maddison Kraft </strong>- Orrville<br>Kraft is a 2029 that recently arrived on the radar. She is an athletic young prospect with a high ceiling for her development as a primary attacker. She creates good lift and opens her shoulders well to the ball to be able to swing with good torque. With over 200 total kills on the season so far, she is averaging 3.3 k/s leading Orrville's offense through a variety of options and attack points. Leading the Red Riders in total blocks, Kraft also collects 11.1 d/m.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Reid Didion</strong> - St. Mary Central Catholic<br>The 5'7 outside hitter is a competitor with good control of her arm through the volume of opportunities she gets to swing. Leading the Panthers offensively, Didion has taken over 720 total swings to earn 180 kills for a 2.7 k/s average. She gets her feet to the ball well and makes good decisions at the point of contact to swing aggressively or make a shot with some touch to keep the defense off balance. She also contributes 11.1 digs per match. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
