USA Club Championship Showcase Top Performers Vol 4

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prep Dig continued its partnership with USA Volleyball at the Junior National Club Championships Showcase, held at the Greater Columbus Convention Center on June 4^th.  The event brought together athletes from across the nation looking to compete in front of college coaches while being evaluated by Prep Dig scouts and court coaches. Showcases like this continue to provide a valuable platform for athletes to be seen, tested, and recognized for their individual performance and intangibles. Let's take a closer look at three players who earned Top Performer honors based on what they showed on the court.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["992218"],"_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-6a28cee4beb30"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Emerson really stood out to all of our scouts and court coaches from the positional drill portion where we saw great confidence from the beginning. Miss Braun is a class of 2029 middle blocker and outside hitter from Lindbergh High School.  She also plays club for Next Gen 15 Gold.  We liked that she showed herself as a versatile front row player on the national stage.  What also stood out is that she plays both the middle and the left pin with strong physicality.  Having someone who can easily switch to another position mid-game like she was able to during our scrimmage drills was awesome. The court coaches commented on her energy and her coachability when we asked them why she was nominated. After watching her compete, I can honestly say they got it right.  Em is someone we should all be watching very closely due to her offensive and defensive abilities.  Please help me congratulate her on earning Top Performer honors at this showcase. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["914831"],"_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-6a28cee4bebed"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='914831' first='Emme' last='Frazier'] is a class of 2029 outside hitter from Loveland High School.  She also plays club for [program_tooltip program_id='431827' first='Elevation' last=''] National 15-3.  After research, I see that she is currently listed on the official Prep Dig Watch List and we can easily see why after watching her during the showcase.  Miss Frazier is a player whose 5'11" frame at the outside hitter position creates a physical presence that is difficult to ignore.  All night long, she attacked with a power and conviction that commanded attention from the left pin. Emme also showed the ability to play the full six rotations with solid back row ball control in both serve receive and during defense.  Emme was vocal, uplifting, and fully engaged from warmup to the final whistle, bringing an energy to her team that elevated the competitive tone of every game she was in. The court coaches appreciated her attitude and the fact that she never needed to be reminded to compete because she walked in ready to go every time and volunteered to play multiple positions to give people rest.  Please help me congratulate her on earning Top Performer honors at this showcase. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["989056"],"_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-6a28cee4bec7f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Finley is a solid outside hitter from Mount St. Mary's High School in Oklahoma City.  The 2030 stud also plays club for EVA 14 Elite.  Although she is one of the youngest players in this showcase, she played with a viciousness that told us she is ready for the big time.  Even with years of physical development ahead of her, armed with supreme approach mechanics and the attacking intent she already brings to the left pin are genuinely advanced for a 2030.  She competed shoulder to shoulder with players who are significantly older and significantly more experienced and did not shrink from a single moment, swinging with confidence and staying connected to every rally on the defensive end without being asked twice.  Miss Rice is a stud 2030 prospect with a ceiling that nobody can fully measure yet and that is the most exciting thing you can say about a player at this stage. Please help me congratulate her on earning Top Performer honors at this showcase. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As always stay tuned for more articles on your favorite athletes.  If you have anyone you think we should watch out for, please shoot me an email with some info at <a href="mailto:Michael@prepdig.com">Michael@prepdig.com</a>.  You can also DM me in Instagram and X by searching @CoachMikeDZ.  Also don't forget to help these kids get more exposure by sharing our stories with your friends.  Help us help them by simply retweeting on Twitter or sharing on Facebook.  Thanks for following us, Prep Dig Family!  Don't be afraid to interact with us.  We love the likes, shares, and quotes/comments.  Keep them coming!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
