The Dub-Dub Returns

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>If you're returning...we're back! If you're new, welcome to the Dub-Dub!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Each week, I scour the box scores looking for athletes who posted a double-double in a match. Then, I try to find some film to see exactly how they went about getting there.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There's one caveat: I start with players who recorded their double-double in three sets, then move to four. Why? Simple. A double-double is impressive regardless, but getting it done in fewer sets really stands out to me.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>So, here is my first batch from the first full week of action. Let's get into the Dub-Dubs!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["912719"],"_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-6aa31726e99fa"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Wolff was putting in work for Fort Zumwalt West last week, posting an impressive stat line of 29 assists and 10 digs. She did a good job of spreading the ball around, showing good precision and pace in her sets while keeping the offense balanced. Wolff also showed the ability to make quality decisions in system, giving her hitters opportunities to attack in rhythm and keeping the offense moving throughout the match. If she can continue to build on that consistency, she should be a key piece of Fort Zumwalt West's offensive success.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["732914"],"_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-6aa31726e9a93"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The Branson setter also tallied 29 assists and added 11 digs to record a double-double. She did a good job of mixing up her sets and distributing the ball to her attackers, keeping the defense from getting comfortable. She also showed some toughness in right back, making plays along the back row and getting to balls while extending and sprawling across the floor. Her ability to contribute defensively while running the offense gives her another dimension.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["732904"],"_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-6aa31726e9b01"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">In a top-five showdown between teams in my KC Metro [program_tooltip program_id='428794' first='Power' last=''] 8, [player_tooltip player_id='732904' first='Jordan' last='Redd'] did everything she could to help pull off the upset, but her team ultimately fell short against the No. 1 team. In the four-set contest, Redd finished with 15 kills and 17 digs, continuing to show her growth as a six-rotation player. Her ability to stay involved on both sides of the ball is becoming a bigger part of her value, and she continues to show she can impact the game beyond just her work at the net.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["840556"],"_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-6aa31726e9b6a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Blair Oaks continues to produce quality players, and Toebben showed up big in this battle. She dished out 20 assists while adding 13 digs, putting her versatility on full display. Toebben was active defensively in the back row while also helping keep the Blair Oaks offense moving. That ability to contribute in multiple areas is the type of versatility that should catch the attention of college coaches.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["629208"],"_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-6aa31726e9bd1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Republic got a big all-around performance from Finley in a victory, and we're skipping past the dub-dub and going straight to the trip-dub. The senior finished with 11 kills, 13 digs, and 10 assists to record the triple-double. She found ways to contribute in every phase of the game, making an impact offensively while also handling her responsibilities in the back row. That's the type of stat line that shows just how much she brings to the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["729470"],"_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-6aa31726e9c91"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The lengthy junior middle did her thing, finishing with 12 kills and 10 digs while showing she can hold her own in the back row. Her offensive production is expected from a player with her size and presence at the net, but the ability to contribute defensively adds another layer to her game. She continues to show the potential to be a right-side option who can stay on the court in the back row and provide value in all six rotations.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["729549"],"_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-6aa31726e9cf8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jordan is leading the offense for my top-ranked KC Metro team, and she's been a fixture in the lineup since her first year. She continues to put up big numbers while taking on a major role in running the offense. How about 26 assists and 14 digs? That's another double-double that shows her ability to control the offense while also making an impact defensively. Her experience and consistency have made her a key piece of one of the top teams in the KC area.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
