When the ball came her way, she was able to square up and make a lot of smooth deliveries to the setter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='919999' first='Katherine' last='Cobeen'], Lakeview/Midwest Select</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Cobeen did a good job of leaving everything she had on the floor.

Each player seemed to help take their peer's play up another level. Marshall showed good pursuit of the ball and was making sure not to stay in the same place for long. Her footwork and effort will help her keep improving as a libero.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='587006' first='Hope' last='Purwadihardja'], Plymouth/Michigan Elite</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Purwadihardja played with a lot of intensity and she was engaged with her peers and coaches throughout, taking in each lesson she could possible learn.
