Congratulations are definitely warranted for Circle's 15 Black (5th in 15 National), Rev 15-1 Fuego (5th in 15 American), Boiler Juniors 15 Gold (5th in 15 Open) and Team Indiana 15.1 (2nd in 15 Freedom). By finishing in the top five, each team receives at least one player honored as All-Tournament by the GJNC consortium. With that being said, here are four players that earned All-Tournament honors at GJNCs in the first session.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["993933"],"_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-6a43315fa2c40"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Quickly earning many recruiting eyeballs, Gia's explosive delivery of each and every arm swing she takes just <em>sounds</em> different than other outsides in this class. Big and physical, Gia's ability to carry her squad all the way to the 15 Open quarterfinals is honorable enough, and the coaches in her division afforded her the opportunity to be celebrated as such. We'll be watching with a close eye ourselves, as Miss Stokes is slowly becoming one of the best outsides to come out of Harrison in quite some time.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["787420"],"_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-6a43315fa2cd5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I've already mentioned AC quite a few times in my articles, but even I had no idea she was capable of the level of play she raised this past week. As a primary-passing six-rotation outside, she was responsible for more than point-scoring for TI's top 15s team. In serve receive, she has active footwork and a solid platform, and her pass-to-attack is refined to the point of looking more mature than her years. Defensively she's a pin-setting blocker, making herself easy for her middles to find. As an overall player, she's got it all, and should continue to progress as a player for the next few years.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["787141"],"_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-6a43315fa2d4e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Two honors, two NewPal kids. Lightning quick and constantly moving her feet, Emersyn is one of those gritty liberi that every team needs in their defensive specialist depth chart. From miracle pancakes to solid defensive play to taking the second ball with her hands, Miss Robinson is the first-contact kid that can do a bit of everything, and uses every bit of her length to do it.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["960604"],"_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-6a43315fa2dbc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">As the daughter of a Super Bowl winner, Rhyan is fully familiar with work ethic, the inside of a weight room and an athletic relentlessness that knows no end. Miss Roby's ability to dig deep into her bottomless well of energy and stamina is her calling card, and that well served her well all week here in Indy. Hitting high and hard constantly and consistently, Rhyan is one of those undersized outsides that always find their way onto rosters and, with continued work, will find committing to a next-level program easier than most because of that relentlessness.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
