Clark makes the simple passes then quickly moves into her offensive position. Clark has nice roll shots and can produce points with aggressive serving. Clark had 192 digs, 51 kills and 64 aces for Butler County in the fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["832914"],"_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-6948b005c8c36"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Woosley provides a sound option at both the outside and middle for the Wave. Woosley smacks balls hard to the back row and off blockers for big points. Woosley adds in tips to keep defenses honest. Woosley is also a fundamentally sound blocker.
