Fresh Faces in Colorado High School Ball

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The freshmen are here, and they are already starting to make their mark.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Making the jump into high school volleyball can take some adjusting. The game moves faster, the players are more experienced, and every match brings something new. However, this group is already finding ways to contribute early in the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Let's take a look!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1002041"],"_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-6a9076d755bbf"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Helle is starting her freshman season strong with 13 kills. She already has a nice feel for the game and is beginning to figure out where she fits into the high school game. Additionally, she is learning how to adjust to a faster and more experienced level of competition. That process is just getting started, and there is plenty of room for her to continue growing throughout the season. With an early impact already on the stat sheet, Helle is a freshman to keep an eye on as the year moves forward.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":1023351,"_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-6a9076d755bfe"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Coil put together a pretty impressive stat line with four kills, seven digs, and 29 assists. For a freshman, stepping in and running an offense is no small job. However, she is already finding ways to impact several parts of the game while taking on the responsibility of setting. As she gets more comfortable with the pace and builds connections with her hitters, Coil has plenty of opportunity to keep growing. Furthermore, her ability to contribute in multiple areas gives her a strong foundation heading into the rest of the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1021457"],"_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-6a9076d755c24"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Roberts has the kind of fiery energy that is going to help her make waves. She brings a big windup and a quick approach, allowing her to get on top of the ball and swing through. Meanwhile, she is still adjusting to the high school game, but that adjustment should come quickly. Once everything starts clicking, her offensive game has plenty of room to take off. As a result, Roberts is another young player to watch as she settles into her freshman season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":1023356,"_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-6a9076d755c46"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ambrose brings a quick, snappy swing that will be fun to watch against more experienced competition this season. She already knows how to use the court and shows a smart feel for shot selection. Additionally, she has held her own at the club level, and now comes a new challenge. Playing against high school veterans will give her even more opportunities to expand her game and continue building her shot range. As the season moves forward, that experience should continue helping her add even more tools to her offensive game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Just the Beginning</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Helle, Coil, Roberts, and Ambrose are all just getting started! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There will be plenty of learning along the way.
