Six Washington Middles On The Move

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With the club calendar headed into March, we spotlight six middles from three separate classes and six different clubs. This group is working hard ( MB requirement- right?) and delivering results for their squads. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["573331"],"_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-699fdc087cdd2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Meshalkin does a wonderful job tracking the pass from her defense to her setter and executing a quality swing for a kill. The Athena Volleyball class of 2027 prospect understands angles and can turn the ball hard angle or rip a rocket swing to the deep corner. Meshalkin's eye work and patience are on display as a blocker; she understands when to get off the floor early or when to wait and press late on an out-of-system attack.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/21589746/6994efafd968476cce04a8d0' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-699fdc087d07c"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["499587"],"_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-699fdc087d0d6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Koenig is playing outstanding volleyball for SVA 17 Joe. The Shorecrest standout is effective running in the seam for SVA, and her setters are confident letting her run a slower-paced middle attack off the net that she can power around the block. Koenig has a good vertical and a fast arm; she generates pace on her swings and can find the court for kills. She has excellent press and can make late adjustments to attackers' swing paths as a blocker. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["949963"],"_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-699fdc087d11f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Barkstrom is a recent addition to the 2028 Watch List. The Lewis and Clark Tiger prospect has terrific length and an offensive game that is developing nicely. Barkstrom will press hard over as a blocker and is smart with overpasses and jousts, playing the ball strongly with two hands for kills. Look for the sophomore to keep perfecting her routes as an attacker; her Mode setters are finding her on the slide as the season has progressed. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["733159"],"_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-699fdc087d163"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jensen is now pushing 6 feet, and the 2028 prospect is developing into an impact player for NCWVBC 18 Gold. She was a factor on the right side for Wenatchee during the school season, and her versatility, length, and scoring touch helped her team win matches. Jensen and her team will play in the USA Division at PNQ coming up in Spokane. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["949966"],"_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-699fdc087d1a5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The multi-sport athlete from Bellevue Christian is playing on the outside for Podio, and her movement, size, and athletic ability project as a pin. She is quick off her feet and has natural power on her swing. It's easy to see the talent when her Podio setters find her with a quick tempo set, and Hoffman terminates before the block can close. She is a developing passer; we expect her to continue to work and grow in that phase of the game as she gains experience. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["949964"],"_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-699fdc087d1e4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Damman works hard to get off the net in transition, and she makes urgent, big moves as a blocker when she recognizes the point of attack. She can adjust to a challenging set to give her team a chance to score, and Damman has a live arm when everything is lined up and on time. The Lincoln freshman is focused and active on the court; she is consistently up and available to her setters. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
