Harzbecker runs one of the fastest offenses in her class and was a key piece in her team's successful club season, with her leadership, effort, and athleticism consistently standing out. She gets her hands on nearly every ball, whether in system or out of system, and finds ways to keep the offense running efficiently. Harzbecker consistently puts her hitters in strong positions to score and pairs her distribution with deceptive decision making that keeps opposing defenses guessing.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1018168"],"_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-6a84afbf0603e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Avery Williams is an exciting athlete to watch who has continued to make significant strides over the last few seasons. Williams was incredibly efficient in the front row throughout club season, putting up big time numbers in the middle while showcasing her high contact point and ability to attack in any direction. What separates Williams is her ability to adjust quickly in different situations, finding ways to stay effective even when the play does not go as planned. Her combination of offensive production, adaptability, and high volleyball IQ gives her the tools to make an impact at the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1008722"],"_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-6a84afbf060a1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Brooklyn Gilbert is a standout middle blocker in the class of 2028 who brings an impressive combination of size and athleticism to the court. Gilbert attacks from a high contact point and uses her vertical and explosiveness to hit around blocks and consistently find ways to score. She has the ability to take over a match on both sides of the ball, providing a major presence offensively and defensively. Gilbert reads the court well and positions herself effectively against opposing hitters, consistently creating slowdowns and giving her defense opportunities to make plays.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["776333"],"_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-6a84afbf060fd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Camble Booth is an excellent pin hitter who competes in one of the fastest paced offenses in Colorado's 2028 class. She is quick in transition and brings a powerful arm swing that allows her to consistently put pressure on opposing defenses. Booth stands out to college coaches because of her versatility, showing the ability to contribute from multiple positions across the court.

Ramsey is a player college coaches should have their eyes on, as she brings high level defensive effort and an impressive ability to read the court. What sets her apart is her relentless work ethic and consistency, allowing her to make an impact even when the ball is not coming directly her way. Ramsey pairs solid ball control with scrappy defensive effort, consistently extending rallies and creating additional opportunities for her team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
