<p class="text-gray-700">Sheanshang (pictured) provided valuable defense for the Mustangs this past fall. Sheanshang can handle hard shots with her quick reflexes. She shuffles her feet quick to get in position to make the simple passes. Sheanshang displayed great potential offensively with her ability to hit through and off blockers. Sheanshang takes good out of system swings. Her control and communication needs some work, but she has a bright future. Sheanshang had 143 digs and 75 kills to help Bishop Brossart go 24-11 last season.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">McDowell's vertical lets her send balls to different zones on the court from the pins. McDowell pounds balls to the back row on one play then lets up and hits soft ones to the middle. McDowell is especially tough on four balls on go routes. McDowell runs effective tandems in the middle.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Reynolds gave the Panthers a bright spot in a tough season this past fall. Reynolds has great placement away from opponents on overpassed balls. Reynolds is a sound solo blocker and takes quality swings in the front row. Reynolds mixes up her serving spots nicely. Reynolds had 177 kills, 168 blocks and 53 aces for Frankfort this past season.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Roy earned the CAL Offensive Player of the Year for big reasons. Roy uses her athleticism well to hit balls over and around blocks to open areas of the court. Roy rips seams well and makes quick in-air adjustments. Roy communicates well with teammates and makes sound first touches. Roy had 320 kills, 134 digs and 72 aces to lift CAL to a 28th District crown and a spot in the 7th Region semifinals with a 30-7 record.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Sullivan improvises in so many different ways on the court. Sullivan takes hard swings from the middle and the pins. Sullivan does not hesitate to hit roll shots down the line if she sees openings there. Sullivan also made a difference at the net combining for sound double blocks with teammates.</p>

Evaluations are normally subscriber-only but when an athlete subscribes, theirs becomes free for all readers.
Subscribing doesn't change who the Scout covers, it changes who gets to see it.
