This group competed with a <em>we over me</em> mentality, embracing every role and every teammate regardless of jersey or position. The effort was constant, the communication was genuine, and the energy never faded.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These athletes didn't just lead with production — they led with presence. Whether it was sprinting to cover a tip, celebrating a teammate's point, or staying locked in from first whistle to last, they showed what it means to elevate a team. This is the kind of mindset that translates, because culture travels with the player.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["627904"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":920201,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-69418c13e9e6f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Larking Rupert brought physicality and competitive edge that was evident from the first rotation. Her arm swing is fast and aggressive, and she consistently attacked seams in the block rather than forcing low-percentage swings. She showed an advanced feel for timing her approach off different set heights, a skill that separated her in fast-paced sequences.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Defensively, Rupert was relentless. She pursued balls outside her zone, stayed low through contact, and transitioned immediately into attack. Her energy lifted her group, and she embraced the grind of extended rallies — the type of athlete who never takes a play off and raises the floor of the entire lineup. <strong>~Theresa @prepdigdakotas</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["754571"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":920202,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-69418c13e9f55"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='807601' first='Ellie' last='Telander'] impressed with her volleyball IQ and poise under pressure. She read the court exceptionally well, adjusting her shot selection based on block positioning and defensive shifts. Her ability to see the game a step ahead allowed her to stay efficient even when plays broke down.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>What stood out most was Telander's off-ball movement. She was constantly repositioning to be available, covering hitters, and supporting teammates. Her calm presence and steady communication reflected leadership rooted in trust and awareness — the kind of pin who makes everyone around her better.<strong>~Theresa @prepdigdakotas</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["773809"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":920208,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-69418c13ea01b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='773809' first='Aria' last='Ryg'] stood out for her consistency and attention to detail in every phase of play. From the pin, her approach was compact and repeatable, allowing her to stay balanced and on time even as tempos changed. She did an excellent job using her core to generate power, which showed up in her ability to control high hands and score deep corner shots.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">What elevated Ryg's evaluation was her work rate between plays. She transitioned quickly, covered tips with urgency, and stayed engaged regardless of whether she was getting set. Her communication and hustle reflected a player who understands team rhythm and plays with purpose — a direct extension of strong program culture. <strong>~Theresa @prepdigdakotas</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["630723"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":920211,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-69418c13ea0e4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='630723' first='Caitlin' last='Champeau'] separated herself with her explosiveness and motor. Her approach speed and jump mechanics gave her an advantage at contact, and she used her vertical to hit over or around the block with confidence. She showed strong wrist control, scoring with both power and finesse.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Beyond the attack, Champeau's defensive intensity stood out. She read hitters well, closed space quickly, and stayed aggressive late into long rallies. Her effort never dipped, and her visible energy reinforced the <strong>we-first</strong> mindset that defines high-level competitors. <strong>~Theresa @prepdigdakotas</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["850557"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":920212,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-69418c13ea18b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='850557' first='Celia' last='Rinio'] showcased a polished all-around game built on discipline and awareness.

She communicated early, supported teammates vocally, and stayed locked in from start to finish. Her ability to blend technical execution with emotional steadiness made her one of the most reliable pins on the floor and a clear product of strong team culture. <strong>~Theresa @prepdigdakotas</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong><em>Thank you to all my readers for making this journey possible.
