The 6'1 freshman was a force all season long with her length and athleticism on the pins. Through the most recent club cycle and the 2025 high school season, she displayed her impact well from each side of the court as she uses her length well to get up and swing with good control and range, along with the ability to put some force on the ball when she is on balance and recognizes space at the net. She finished the season with 283 kills for a 3.5 k/s average.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["774810"],"_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-6905201294e41"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ryan is the other freshman selected to the GWOC 1st team. She was third overall offensively with 277 total kills in her first varsity season. Her 3.6 k/s average led the Elks offensively as her effort helped propel her team to a 13-1 GWOC record (21-3 overall), good for a league crown. She also provided 176 digs and 40 aces. Ryan is 5'9 with good mechanics and an aggressive mindset to score through a variety of attacking tools in the air. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["899871"],"_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-6905201294e97"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The sophomore pin averaged 1.6 k/s, nearly doubling her offensive production from 2024. She also increased her impact defensively with a career best 246 digs. Her arm also benefitted her team at the service line as this was were second season with over 50 aces. She has good tools to make plays on both sides of the ball as she competes with good composure, which allows her to control her arm well on offense while showing good range defensively. Caldwell is the only sophomore selected to the top two teams in the GWOC as she is a 2nd team honoree.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["794247"],"_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-6905201294eec"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Heil finished second overall in total digs as she was one of two prospects in the GWOC to amass over 300 total digs for the season. Her 12.5 d/m average is a career best as she doubled her impact from a season ago. She stays consistently engaged with the point flow as her ability to track the ball well and move with quick reaction helps her create a lot of defensive touches. Heil is a 1st team GWOC honoree.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["662586"],"_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-6905201294f45"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">At 1.7 k/s and 4.9 blocks per match, Jones had her best season. Her third varsity effort saw her produce her highest output on both sides of the ball. Top 15 offensively in the GWOC, she led the league defensively at the net with a career best 113 blocks on the season. For her career, Jones now has 299 total kills and 246 total blocks. The 1st team all-league selection plays bigger than her physical frame as the middle has good quickness in her movement and lift.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
