The 5'10 pin has increased her averaged to 3.0 k/s, good for second on the team, as the Blue Streaks are 19-3 overall. Currently second in the Northwest Ohio standings, Harris is one of three Archbold arms that are top 10 in the league, combining to form some of the top offense collectively. Harris has good tools on the left side, including the ability to swing in system and broken situations for good impact. Additionally, the second consecutive season, Harris also contributes 11 digs per match.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1053130"],"_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-6ad51bb0b69ae"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Walters has been executing her role as the primary setter for Oak Hills with confidence and quality contact throughout this fall season. She has dished 670 assists for an 8.1 a/s average as the Highlanders remain in the upper half of the Greater Miami Conference. As her numbers lead all setters in the GMC, she also helps guide the top arm in the conference as well. Walters pursues the second touch well to get on balance with her hands high followed by the right adjustments to her force of extension to locate the ball with good accuracy when on the move.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["779026"],"_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-6ad51bb0b69fb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Pierce is a two-way contributor for Notre Dame Academy as she helps the Eagles' offense with her arm and through her distribution as a setter. She is second on the team offensively at 2.2 k/s through an increased role this season that sees her get ample opportunities to swing on the right side of the court, which helps to balance their collective offensive effort. As a setter, she has increased her varsity total to 621 assists through 2026, while increasing her defense this season to 4.6 d/m. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1053132"],"_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-6ad51bb0b6a49"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ross is making a big statement in her second varsity season with Highland as she leads their offense. Providing a career best 3.4 k/s, she has killed the ball 231 times so far on an efficiency of .252, also better numbers than last season. At 5'7, Ross has a big arm. Her athleticism includes efficient movement to approach the ball where she can lift and bring an aggressive rotation and contact to put big force on the ball. She balances this big offense with 10.9 d/m for a complete effort for the Hornets who are 15-6 overall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1053131"],"_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-6ad51bb0b6a9c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Childress has put down 217 total kills to lead Washington's offense. This has led to a 3.3 k/s average in 2026 on a career high .242 efficiency, which is balanced by the 8.0 d/m she also contributes. The 5'10 multi-sport threat has good attacking mechanics as she develops momentum and timing on the left side pin as their top option. She contacts high and uses her length to get on top of the ball with some natural pace and good control to move it around. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
