<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Championship Sunday in Louisville brought out the stars at every level. You may recognize some of these names because they keep showing up with big talent, honed skills and the desire to get better to get to the next level. We think these athletes have just that!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["742495"],"_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-6a1cb311df322"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lily keeps rising to the occasion, she is solid and then some. With her cool demeanor on the court and her plentiful skillset her impressive play grabs attention. She is composed for her age, playing with maturity and confidence even when her team is up against it. There is no loss of confidence, no desperate plays, just consistent good play and forethought running the court. Lily can produce consistent excellent sets, with a smooth clean accurate jump set, or a beautiful backset, she repetitively knocks them out with excellent technique. She can vary the temp to slow down the game, or set a quick ball to engage her team more when needed, all with controlled deliverance. She has great court IQ to persist in what she knows works, but can change it up to put in a sneaky play with a smooth setter dump or a fast tempo set to the OH. She can get up for the block, will tip down the line and can change it up as needed. She engages all her front line showing a good rapport not only with the pins but shows her tenacity to call an audible with out of system plays with thought to make it work. Lily is already doing great things on the court, she is a pillar to any team and we predict big things for her future.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["933252"],"_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-6a1cb311df36e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Haddie is even more impressive since we last laid eyes on her. She has continued to get stronger in her play with consistency honing her talent which is plentiful. She is a strong from either pin and has the tenacity to keep on. She can pull off repetitive nice swings with a good approach and attack to make a good connection with the ball and result in nice kills with good downward trajectory down the line or cross court. She puts herself in the right position to be ready for an attack or to cover her teammates. She can dig up balls and pass up accurately, gets up to block and can slow down the ball for the back line with numerous touches. She shows good court IQ and enthusiasm and looks to be moving up the ladder fast. Good things happening!</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":"Kensley Cormney","_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":"5'5u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"32926","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"DuPont Manual","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"KIVA ","_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-6a1cb311df3d3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kensley is an enthusiastic, energetic player that has talent to match her play. She shows tenacity on the court with fast quick thinking playing digging and getting balls into play. She has a great platform with readiness and lightness to move any direction with eyes up on the ball and passes up with accuracy stemming from a great platform and use of shoulder angles with a good stance. She can soften up a hard ball with first contact and turn it into a great up for the setter. Kensley shows excellent court IQ moving with the play, covering well and communicates well on the court with her teammates. She is fire on the court and is all in, Love her play!</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":"Ella Marchal","_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":"5'7u0022","_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":"Franklin HS","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"Alliance VB","_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-6a1cb311df41b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ella is a pillar on her team. With a big lofty swing she makes a big impact on the court. All full rotation player Ella brings a lot to the table. She has a lethal cross court kill that backs up the opposition. She possesses great ball control with perfect contact to find the seams or drop a kill on top of the opposition's feet. She can switch it up with a good fake to get a stealthy well placed tip down the line or in unmanned territory. She can get up for the block with good timing and reach and gets touches to slow the play down helping out the back row. She can dig up off the net, passes up accurately with a nice solid platform and is fast to move with the play. She can serve up aces effortlessly to find the seams repetitively. Ella is an enthusiastic player that makes a difference. Love to have her on your team, not play against her!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["851868"],"_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-6a1cb311df445"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sloane has developed into a player that you can build a team around. She is a full rotation player with an excellent skill set that is getting more refined every tournament. She has solid consistent play from any position and is a foundation player to her team proving her worth. She can dig up hard shots accurately from the back row with a great readiness stance and is quick to move into position to pass up accurately. Sloane can swing from the pin or the back row, down the line or through the block with a good attack making kills. She can get up for the block closing it ff on the front line with good timing making the opposition work around her. She has a mean serve that will drop on the oppositions feet to produce aces to top off her toolbox. She is an enthusiastic player that can rally the team and show leadership on the court. A consummate player that is a gamechanger on the court!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
