Hummel has steadily improved over the last couple of seasons and is now taking her game to another level. She brings a powerful arm swing and a wide range of shots, allowing her to find different ways to score against opposing defenses. Hummel is also a steady presence in serve receive and reads the court well defensively, making her a reliable all around option for Douglas County.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["734449"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ab32147a163b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Landry Roberts is coming in hot this fall, leading Cheyenne Mountain in nearly every statistical category. What really elevates Roberts' game is her consistency in the back row. As a pin hitter, she becomes a target for opposing teams in serve receive as they look for ways to slow her down, but Roberts continues to remain steady and reliable defensively. That consistency fuels her confidence as an attacker, and she has become a go to option out of system when Cheyenne Mountain needs someone to step up and terminate.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["734490"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ab32147a16c7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kendall Anderson has looked phenomenal this high school season for Colorado Academy, leading the team in both kills and aces. She is a big blocking presence at the net, and when you combine her size with her athleticism and ability to get out to the pins quickly, she becomes a difficult matchup for opposing teams. Anderson has the ability to take over matches when her team can consistently feed her the ball and has shown she can terminate in a variety of situations. She looks poised for the next level, playing with confidence and emerging as a key leader for Colorado Academy this fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Maddie Unks","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'6u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"32926","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Lewis-Palmer","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ab32147a1795"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Maddie Unks might be an under the radar recruit, but she is putting together a strong senior season this fall. Unks anchors the back row for Lewis-Palmer, putting up solid numbers defensively and in serve receive. What separates Unks is her steady presence on the floor, as her hitters trust her to take a lot of court and consistently keep the offense in system. As the season progresses, Lewis-Palmer will continue to rely on her senior leadership, confidence, and consistency in the back court.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["734451"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ab32147a1807"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jersey McCollum is a player we have been keeping a close eye on over the last couple of years, and she is putting together a stellar senior season. If she continues to lead in these statistical categories, McCollum could put herself in the conversation for Player of the Year. She brings true leadership and an elite understanding of the game, helping run one of the fastest offenses in Colorado right now. McCollum continues to put up big time numbers on both sides of the ball and has established herself as a key piece of her team's success this fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
