<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Utility players are the glue that holds teams together. Their ability to step into any role- whether it is attacking, defending, or serving- shows just how valuable they are.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Let's take a look:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">1. [player_tooltip player_id='750776' first='Aubrey' last='Harrington'], S/RS/OH</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["750776"],"_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-68de0a8bdb95c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Harrington's versatility shines with 84 kills (.246 hitting percentage), 98 digs (2.4 digs per set), and 162 assists (4 assists per set). The lefty right-side is difficult to defend, bringing a heavy arm and a powerful serve to Lutheran's lineup. When setting, she transitions quickly and runs a fast paced offense with precision. Harrington's ability to switch between attacking and setting makes her a unique and valuable asset. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">2. [player_tooltip player_id='412442' first='Brynn' last='Ressler'], DS/L/OH</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["412442"],"_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-68de0a8bdb802"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ressler's impact shows in her 54 kills and 107 digs (3 digs per set). She's steady and confident in serve recieve, holding down the back row as a libero, but can also step up and swing fearlessly from the outside when her team needs a point. Her dual ability to defend and attack makes her the ultimate utility player. Ressler's senior leadership gives Cheyenne Mountain a strong, composed presence on the court. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">3. Lila Hannemann, OH/RS/S</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":"Lila Hannemann","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2028","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'10u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"32925","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Lutheran ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"[program_tooltip program_id='429639' first='Front' last='Range'] Volleyball Club","_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-68de0a8bdb9fd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hannemann has put together a strong season with 78 kills and 81 digs, proving she can contribute anywhere on the floor. One of the youngest players on the team, she plays with poise well beyond her years. She's smart with her shot selection, often finding open space, and her hang time makes her a tough hitter to defend. Whether setting, swinging, or defending, Hannemann stays calm and consistent- bringing balance and reliability to every rotation.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">4. [player_tooltip player_id='835403' first='Madi' last='Crowe'], OH/RS</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["738616"],"_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-68de0a8bdb864"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Crowe has been a consistent playmaker this season, recording 104 kills and 117 digs (3.2 digs per set). Her high reach and heavy arm make her a scoring threat from both pins, while her defensive awareness allows her to read hitters and dig corner to corner with confidence. Crowe's ability to perform at a high level in the front and back row makes her one of the most dependable all-around players in the league. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">5.

With 64 kills and 104 digs (2.7 digs per set), she impacts both sides of the court. Fisher can swing from anywhere thanks to her fast and efficient last two steps on either pin. Her ability to transition seamlessly from offense to defense makes her a reliable and well-rounded contributor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Scouting Wrap-Up</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 4A [program_tooltip program_id='429678' first='Pikes' last='Peak'] league is filled with athletes who do more than fill one position- they excel in many.
