BHJ 18 Black opened the weekend with a perfect 3–0 start, controlling every match with pace, discipline, and confidence. They handled P3 VC Denver 17 Gold (25–15, 25–14), dominated CSA 18 Silver (25–7, 25–9), and closed the day with another commanding win over FAV 18 Maverick (25–13, 25–20). From first serve to final point, this group showed why they belong on one of the biggest recruiting stages in the country.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>What stood out wasn't just the wins—it was how they won. Serve pressure set the tone. First contact stayed clean. The offense ran in rhythm. Every rotation looked intentional. This is a team playing connected volleyball!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["748060"],"_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-697441663d21e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='748060' first='Addison' last='Benson'] plays like someone who understands how to own space. At the net, she doesn't react—she arrives first. Her timing in the block consistently seals seams, and her ability to transition from block to attack gives her team immediate pressure on broken plays. Offensively, she scores in rhythm and with purpose, especially when the match speeds up. What makes Addison different is how she changes the geometry of the court—hitters adjust because she's there. She doesn't blend into the front row. She defines it. <strong>~Theresa @prepdigdakotas</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["843758"],"_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-697441663d2ca"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='843758' first='May' last='Callaghan'] is wired to score. Every approach is intentional, every swing carries conviction. She doesn't wait for perfect conditions—she creates her own. What separates May is how early she commits to the play; her footwork is decisive, her timing sharp, and her mindset aggressive. She stretches defenses by staying available in transition and punishing hesitation. When momentum is needed, she's already in the air. That instinct is what makes her dangerous. <strong>~Theresa @prepdigdakotas</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["748041"],"_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-697441663d369"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">My Glines runs an offense like a conductor—calm, precise, and in complete control of tempo. Her hands are clean, her release consistent, and her decisions intentional. She recognizes matchups, adjusts rhythm, and keeps hitters engaged even when the system breaks down. What stands out is her ability to make the game feel organized for everyone around her. The floor follows her lead. She doesn't just distribute—she dictates how the match unfolds. <strong>~Theresa @prepdigdakotas</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["747880"],"_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-697441663d3f4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='747880' first='Aurora' last='Prudich'] brings edge to every rally. She plays fast, attacks early, and never hesitates to take responsibility. From either antenna, she stays aggressive, re-presenting in transition and forcing defenses to stay honest. Her arm speed creates separation, but it's her mindset that defines her—she wants the ball when it matters. Aurora doesn't wait for opportunity. She hunts it. <strong>~Theresa @prepdigdakotas</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["837768"],"_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-697441663d47d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='837768' first='Samantha' last='Warnke'] wins points with intention.
