She knows how to use her power while also mixing in finesse when it comes to attacker where as a setter she can go from pin to pin while also being able to execute on the quick tempo. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["545503"],"_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-6a0b770dc57ee"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">What a dynamic athlete.  [player_tooltip player_id='545503' first='Kaitlyn' last='Marx'] has shown she can score points on the pin while also being an option as a libero.  She brings athleticism and physicality to both positions where shes not afraid to take a big swing on the outside and as a libero she covers a huge part of the court.  She is able to handle a high volume in serve receive and anticipates well.  Her high all around IQ really sets her apart.  I could see with her skillset she would be a solid beach player as well.  </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["734122"],"_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-6a0b770dc5843"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Groce Hoverson is a small town athlete with a big game.  She preps at Evansville High School just South of Madison where she is a force to be reckoned with out of the middle.  She has plenty of length which allows her to be a big block and she knows how to find the deep corners offensively.  She will be one to watch for Madtown 161 National this summer while also being on the Badger Region High Performance U19 All Star team. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["545677"],"_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-6a0b770dc5893"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">She is a high flyer! [player_tooltip player_id='545677' first='Brianna' last='Hagglund'] has been exciting to watch over the past year where she was a key piece to the success of Kimberly last fall where they advanced to the D1 state tournament and has been a key player for [program_tooltip program_id='428591' first='FC' last='Elite'] 16 Elite.  Hagglund has an aggressive approach with a fast arm that allows her to create a lot of chaos for the other side of the net.  She has even played a little libero in her career, she will be an exciting prospect at the next level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!--
