Without them, none of the previous twenty people mentioned this week have a chance at being successful. Here are five of them, from around the state, that are well worth the price of admission to watch this fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["529086"],"_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-6a8b292eb5f40"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Easily my top player in the class of ‘29, Evelyn has already seen major playing and training time with NTDP. I listed her as a right side as well, simply because I've seen her do it. That being said, her future is in setting, and the athleticism she brings to the position is second to none in ANY class here in Indiana. As a do-everything athlete for LaPorte, Miss Shirk should earn a ton of recruiting attention in the coming calendar year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["850509"],"_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-6a8b292eb5fb8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I've been high on Honor's skill set for quite some time now, and that was proven given the sheer number of invite-only college camps she attended this past summer. The who's who of Division 1 institutions around the country got a chance to see what we already know here in Indiana; athleticism, a high volleyball IQ and an innate ability to do the right set in the right situation at all times makes Miss Durham one of the best setters to come out of Noblesville ever.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["847862"],"_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-6a8b292eb6010"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Already on some preseason All-American watch lists, Rylie is a quick, athletic and defensive-minded setter that keeps Providence on the map with her all-around high-end abilities. Her ball control, whether it's with her hands or her platform, is among the tops in the Midwest, and her volleyball acuity—-understanding how the game can come to her and slow down—-is evident the instant you watch her. Rylie is a fun player to watch from southern Indiana, and is steadily bringing Providence back to the top ten ranks quickly this fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["847607"],"_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-6a8b292eb6063"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Not quite the biggest setter on this list, Miss Hughes has the tools and the talent to run a 5-1 offense at any collegiate level. Training with one of the best high school programs in the state, Lillian is more than capable of taking any pass at any time and setting a very scorable ball for her hitters. With tempo, placement and distribution about as consistent as anyone, this young lady has a permanent placement for me in the top twenty in this class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["769915"],"_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-6a8b292eb60b5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Size, length and volleyball brains set Alaina apart from a lot of setters in this or any class. She plays bigger than her 5'10” shows, and can show evidence by her blocking and high hands in getting to an overpassed ball. Once she gets her hands on it, the ball goes exactly where it needs to go, no questions asked. Her leadership is also on display when playing—-a nice trait for a coach to have and not worry about when the going gets tough.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
