Four 4th Region Liberos Flying Under Radar

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 14th District encompassing Warren County has dominated this region so much over the years that various players in the other three districts can be overlooked. The truth is there are hidden gems in all four districts in this south central portion of the Commonwealth.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["801424"],"_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-6957581864c0a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Collins (pictured) has good athleticism and it shows in her ability to read and track down balls. She sets up well behind her blockers and makes good adjustments on deflected balls. Collins showed she can handle well-struck crosses from solid hitters. Collins will play middle back against tough hitters, but can quickly come forward to dig up tips. Collins had 283 digs in the fall, helping the Rebels go 16-12 and make it to the 4th Region Tournament.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["774211"],"_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-6957581864c79"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hoffman is a hustler on the court and it showed during Warren East's run to the in-season Class 2A state championship game. Hoffman. Setovers do not phase her. Hoffman has an outstanding nose for balls and maintains control throughout the process of those first touches. Hoffman can use one arm to dig up balls if needed. Hoffman's experience as a setter comes in handy when Warren East is out of system. She's often able to make sure hitters can take good rips. Hoffman is also a nice server. Hoffman had 501 digs and 117 assists in the fall, helping the Raiders go 26-11, win a fourth straight 15th District crown and drive to the 4th Region semifinals.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["802432"],"_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-69575c26437fe"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The Wildcats may have struggled this season, but Redmond was a bright spot. Redmond has good hands and backs up blockers well making the simple touches. Redmond backs up quickly and makes sound overhead and bump passes. Redmond will go down on her knees of needed to keep plays alive. Redmond had 286 digs to lead Franklin-Simpson in the fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["930336"],"_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-695760682cf32"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Campbell gives the Lakers steady play in the back row. She anticipates well and puts her arms in good position to form walls around balls. Campbell can defend lines and back rows efficiently, covering both hard and softly hit balls. Campbell is not afraid to dive when necessary. Campbell had 307 digs in the fall, helping Russell County go 24-12 on the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Note from the Writer</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mike Graham has been writing for Prep Dig for one year and a half and has enjoyed getting to know the volleyball scenes in both Kentucky and Ohio.
