She lead Oak Hills with 4.3 k/s on a total of 372 kills, earning her second consecutive 1st team all-league nod. At 6'0, she has good length and range as a pin hitter as she can impact the game from both sides of the court, especially when on tempo through a quicker pin option as she can create good arm speed and pace. She makes the move to [program_tooltip program_id='431827' first='Elevation' last='']'s top 17U team, adding fire power to strengthen this roster.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["592223"],"_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-6955dee80a036"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Luginbuhl (*pictured) filled a supporting role offensively for Tippecanoe as they earned a 29-0 unbeaten record on their way to a state title. The 6'1 middle earned just over 100 total kills for a 1.7 k/s average. On the defensive side, she was the team leader at the net with a 2.0 b/m effort. She has a good offensive and physical foundation in her block-to-transition action. Look for her to get more opportunities with her [program_tooltip program_id='431827' first='Elevation' last=''] team given her activity between the pins to be an option.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["509074"],"_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-6955dee80a080"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Baker is coming off her best varsity season for Edon as she created a lot of production with her arm. She was second offensively at 2.4 k/s while leading the Bombers with 86 service aces. After three varsity seasons she has totals of 381 kills, 628 digs, and 142 aces. The 5'8 pin jumps well at the end of her approach pattern and can move the ball around upon contact. Get a look at her with Team Pineapple 17 Black.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["508697"],"_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-6955dee80a0c6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Making the move to Lakeview High School, Gillespie found good success for JFK as their primary libero as she departs holding numerous digging records. Playing for CVC 17 Black this club season, she can make a big impact if she can carry that high school success to a squad that has good depth at the DS/L position. She is an active defender with good point engagement as she gets stopped and balanced well to create good angles and absorb attacking pace.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["910479"],"_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-6955dee80a10a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Miami East finished 24-3 overall and unbeaten in conference play as Yeaple contributed 1.5 k/s on 114 total kills. She undoubtedly will carry more of the offensive load next fall given the graduation of a few key arms for the Vikings. Yeaple is capable of scoring at both pins as, at 5'11, she shows good movement and uses a high elbow swing to get on top of the ball well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
