Sophia is all over the floor and is a special player. She plays the game at every tempo, she gets off the net, and regardless of 31, C, and Slide. She is a hybrid in her own right, mobile and versatile, which can always keep defenses on their toes. She will utilize this same versatility in line stuff attacks at the net, solo blocking, or team blocking. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Harper Payne","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2028","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'0u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"32564","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"New Trier","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"[program_tooltip program_id='431567' first='Adversity' last=''] ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-697650394b4a5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This may be one of the most intriguing prospects of the club season. Haper teaming with some talented players on the Adversity 16 Adidas team surely belongs. She is every bit of power, force, intensity, and competitiveness. She doesn't just attack with power; she has a touch, which she uses to score at a high rate. Harper brings energy to every part of her game. Her coverage on defense; she isn't a liability and makes sure of that. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["546209"],"_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-697650394b557"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Everyone wants the tall, long middle that can move. You hope that they can contribute in any fashion; they will be placed just for the look. Kara does not fit that. Kara is a gamer, she is talented, and hasn't even reached her peak yet. That's not the scary part; it's how good she is right now. Lateral footwork, athleticism, long reach, and court awareness. Her attacks make it hard not to play through her. She adjusts very well on set, plays at various tempos. As she continues to grow (scary) her status will too!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["749507"],"_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-697650394b5fc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[program_tooltip program_id='432158' first='Attack' last='VBC'] 16's frontline is full of potential, and the player setting the table for them all is Miss Josephenine. The director, the floor leader, and the coach on the floor are doing it with precision and fun. Textbook hands, quick, steady, and clean.

Sommer playing with 1st Alliance 16 Gold, she will have all the opportunity to affect the game and be as impactful as she wants and needs to be. Sommer's ability to read the setter and/or follow her assignment at any tempo, and to react at a high rate, is impressive. Her blocking is a skill she will teach one day, but for now, she will play. She looks forward to the college she wants to attend. Her combination of athleticism and long reach gives her explosiveness an extra boost.

Her intensity seemingly grows every play. Using every inch of her length to get on top of the ball to punch it through the unexpected defender's hands. Quick feet let her consistently attack at will. Kaiya has been working and has demonstrated that in her running Slide, it is clean, quick, and she is forcefully on the attack.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2028 • 2029 • 2030</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As the season progresses, I'll be popping up at more gyms and, of course, Prep Dig events.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In the meantime, feel free to share&nbsp;<strong>game film, highlights, and schedules</strong>.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Eyes on the next wave. 👀</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>📍 Illinois &amp; beyond</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Follow on socials:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>IG – @PrepDigTobias</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>TikTok – @tobiaswalkeac</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>X – @PrepDigTobias and @TobiasWalk</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>If you're looking for assistance, want to connect, or want more content, PrepDig.com is the best place to find him.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
