She has a lot of power in her offense, making a strong approach, taking off nicely and showing impressive arm speed when making contact with the ball. Hogg is very confident at the net and will never hesitate when set, even in key moments of the match. She also has solid technical tools and ball control and offers solid contributions in serve-receive and when playing defense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://www.instagram.com/p/DY-HzS1opSg/","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"instagram","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://www.instagram.com/p/DY-HzS1opSg/ </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["876189"],"_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-6a5786fc13fd1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Williams will be part of the Duncanville High School team and most recently represented [program_tooltip program_id='786764' first='360' last='Volleyball Club'] at the club level. She was one of the standouts in our Next Up Showcase last year and continues to evolve in the libero position. Williams is very confident in serve-receive, taking a large portion of the court and using her excellent mobility and ball control to deliver accurate passes to her setter. She also makes an impact when playing defense at the left back position with her solid positioning and seems to always be in the right places to dig the ball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src=u0022https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/25084637/6a524013cf2d69e08869e2f1u0022 width=u0022640u0022 height=u0022360u0022 frameborder=u00220u0022 allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a5786fc1404e"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["998973"],"_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-6a5786fc140bc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Friar will be with Melissa when high school ball starts and sets for [program_tooltip program_id='431200' first='Madfrog' last=''] at the club level. She's a confident and well-rounded playmaker who stands out for her decision-making and her ability to keep her team's offense flowing in any conditions. Friar does a good job of adjusting to different passes and her ability to quickly get to the ball keeps all setting options available for her even in out-of-system plays. She is also aggressive with setter dumps, serves very well and is always alert when playing defense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src=u0022https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/25436245/6a566068695c8ab7b4fa3d4bu0022 width=u0022640u0022 height=u0022360u0022 frameborder=u00220u0022 allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a5786fc140ed"} /-->
