It's obvious that she learns a lot about her teammates and what they need to be successful in terms of her set speed and placement. She has great decision making skills to keep the opposing block off-balance, creating one-on-one opportunities for her hitters. She is also a very solid defender and server when in the back court.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>IG - <a href="https://www.instagram.com/carabennett_vb10/">@carabennett_vb10</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["783757"],"_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-6ace5e8103c2b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Anyone can tell that Law has a lot of fun out on the court, and loves playing with her teammates. She does a really solid and consistent job of finding ways to score with her swings and shot selection, while also being a anchor for the team in the back court with her serve receive passing, defensive digging and serving. Definitely a great leader who is looked to often by her teammates.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>IG - <a href="https://www.instagram.com/avery.lawvb/">@avery.lawvb</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">OREGON CITY HS</span></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["740401"],"_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-6ace5e8103c79"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Arguably one of the BEST setters that I have seen this year. Westermeyer, who is committed to Lipscomb University, brings so much talent, athleticism, smart decision making as well as aggressive offensively within the setter position, that you never know what she might do from pass to pass. Outstanding footwork to get to the ball, extremely effective dealing with a tight pass whether from the front or back row, and explosive off the floor to play well above the net. Amazing leader and teammate for her team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>IG - <a href="https://www.instagram.com/tabithawestermeyer.vb2028/">@tabithawestermeyer.vb2028</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["759456"],"_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-6ace5e8103cbf"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Clark is a highly talented six-rotation pin hitter. The University of Nevada-Las Vegas commit, brings a wealth of skills within her game both offensively and defensively. She is very fast off the jump, has a wicked fast arm swing and very smart in her decision making of where and how to find the open spots on the court. She does a great job in the serve receive lanes showing balance and consistency in her passing, while also able to play solid defense around the block. Even able to be a big threat on a back row attack.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>IG - <a href="https://www.instagram.com/kendall.clark_vb2028/">@kendall.clark_vb2028</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">VALLEY CATHOLIC HS</span></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["482058"],"_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-6ace5e8103d01"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Newly committed to NAIA powerhouse Eastern Oregon University, Albert will definitely bring a wealth of skill and power to that already stacked program. She is a very strong, fast and dynamic middle hitter who also could be hugely effective on either pin as well. So quick off the jump, she can bring her powerful arm swing either in front or off one foot behind the setter. Valley Catholic relies on this talents hitter a ton, which in one of the key reasons why they are so highly successful in the state.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>IG - <a href="https://www.instagram.com/maevealbert.09/">@maevealbert.09</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["482055"],"_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-6ace5e8103d42"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Although some might consider McGregor undersized at 5'6, she is an extremely efficient, high level setter who can run a very fast and effective offense for the college level. What she might lack in height, she surely makes up for in experience, having helped lead the Valiants to back-to-back OSAA 3A state titles in 2024 &amp; 2025. She combines her outstanding decision making and communication skills with excellent ball and body control. With her high volleyball IQ, setting prowess and strong work ethic, She will certainly help guide her college team, Fort Lewis University, to great places.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>IG - <a href="https://www.instagram.com/jaya.vb/">@jaya.vb</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">WEST LINN HS</span></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["769050"],"_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-6ace5e8103d84"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Silva is such a smooth and dynamic middle hitter. She gets up quick and can really bring the speed within her arm swing. She does an amazing job of transitioning on and off the net to get in on first tempo swings, both in front and behind the setter, as well as moving from pin to pin on her blocking movement. Definitely not afraid to take a big rip at the ball or use her off-speed shots around the block to find ways to score points for her team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>IG - <a href="https://www.instagram.com/sophiasilvavolleyball/">@sophiasilvavolleyball</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">WILSONVILLE HS</span></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1051358"],"_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-6ace5e8103dc6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Wow, Heu-Weller definitely has a BIG and powerful arm. She does an amazing job, getting on top of the ball for her thunderous swings. She moves really well on and off the net in transition. She can move the ball all around the court to find places to score points for her team. And she puts up a huge block to shut down opponents. She is a huge asset to her team and their success.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Check out Parts 1 and 2 of the West Linn Varsity Tourney 2026, on the <a href="https://prepdig.com/oregon/"><strong>PrepDig Oregon</strong></a> page as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
