<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The high school season is in full swing, and several Colorado athletes have already shown tremendous growth from previous seasons. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These players have stepped into bigger roles, elevated different areas of their game, and are making a noticeable impact for their teams. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here are some of the players who have taken their game to another level this fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1007939"],"_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-6a9f0acc89874"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Brier Jensen has been phenomenal through the opening weeks of the high school season, leading Thompson Valley in nearly every statistical category. What separates Jensen is her complete all around game - she is a go to attacking option, helps run the offense as a setter, and puts up big time numbers defensively in the back row. Her versatility allows Thompson Valley to use her in a variety of ways and makes her a difficult player for opposing teams to slow down. Thompson Valley will continue to rely heavily on Jensen's consistency and efficiency as the season progresses.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1038282"],"_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-6a9f0acc8990d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kaydence Lucero has been highly efficient this fall, helping lead a Thompson Valley team loaded with talent. Lucero brings a strong all around game from the middle, emerging as one of the team's go to attacking options in transition while also providing a major blocking presence at the net. Her ability to impact the game on both sides of the ball adds another weapon to an already deep Thompson Valley lineup. Lucero looks poised and ready to help lead this team on a long postseason run.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1015222"],"_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-6a9f0acc89972"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ella Wilson has improved tremendously over the last few seasons and has become a major piece for Fossil Ridge this fall. Wilson currently leads the team in service aces and blocks while also serving as one of their most efficient attacking options. Fossil Ridge has plenty of offensive weapons, but Wilson's presence at the net is difficult to overlook. She is quick getting out to the pins and in transition, allowing her to find open space offensively while also closing blocks efficiently on the defensive side.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":1039558,"_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-6a9f0acc899bf"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Maci Rosenbrock has emerged as one of Horizon's offensive leaders through the opening weeks of the season. She has been highly efficient on the pin while also contributing as a setter when needed, showcasing her versatility and strong ball control. What stands out most about Rosenbrock is her complete all around game, as she finds ways to contribute in nearly every area of the court. She also leads Horizon in service aces, adding another weapon to an already well rounded skill set.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":1039559,"_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-6a9f0acc89a0a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sadie Rodriguez has been a big time asset in the back row for Dakota Ridge this fall. Rodriguez leads the team in digs, moving efficiently and covering a ton of court defensively. She has established herself as an anchor in serve receive, consistently putting her team in a good position to run its offense. Rodriguez reads opposing attackers well and does a great job positioning herself early, allowing her to keep rallies alive and make difficult defensive plays look routine.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
