She made good contributions overall as CVA battled throughout the weekend. At 6'0, she worked her way into some good situations with her transition work. Her awareness to develop good space and timing resulted in some fluid contact to drive the ball through space she found. Look for her with Bishop Fenwick as they have a good core group of younger athletes returning in 2026.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1001154"],"_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-6a41ab7d907ab"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kingery wears the libero jersey well as she is an impact contributor in different ways. With good passing mechanics, she watches the game well on the defensive side while getting stopped and balanced to make a play as the opponent is contacting the ball. Where she can light up her team's effort is in her anticipation of the ball and her pursuit. She is quick and has good emergency tools to play well outside of her midline and create more offensive chances or her team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1001160"],"_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-6a41ab7d907d1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A primary setter for her GCVC team, Hamer helped guide her team in the 16 Premier division. Her distribution skills include good pursuit of the ball with simple footwork as she gets her hands up high and early. At the point of contact, when balanced and in system, she creates opportunities for herself to set to both pins with a good tempo, while also involving the middle zone through quick or combination routes.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1001162"],"_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-6a41ab7d907f2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Dempsey may be 5'6, but she is aggressive and fearless as a hitter as she saw ample opportunities to take swings for her GCVC team while at AAU nationals. With good athleticism, her footwork in transition is quick as she turns to run off the net, which allows her time to get to the ball and swing to challenge the defense in front of her. The high elbow swing she uses allows her to maximize where she can contact the ball and put good force behind it upon contact.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1001165"],"_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-6a41ab7d90813"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Salem is a 5'8 middle that can play bigger than that at the net with her quickness and good jumping ability. The effort she puts into attacking routes is assertive and consistent in how she moves and commands the ball from her setter. She can attack from different zones around her setter, which includes good control of her contact in the air. As a blocker, her physical tools help her put pressure on opposing hitters.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
