2A Hitters at State to Watch

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>State is here, and there are plenty of hitters ready to make some noise! These are just a few names to keep an eye on today and throughout the weekend. From smart middles to high-volume pins, this group brings plenty of offensive firepower to the court.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='819818' first='Tenleigh' last='Lorenzini'] | MH</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["819818"],"_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-6af61dfe66aed"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='819818' first='Tenleigh' last='Lorenzini'] has been a steady presence in the middle for her team this season. She has put down 258 kills at 3.3 per set while hitting .230, and she has added 66 total blocks with 29 solo stuffs. Lorenzini stays active in transition and does a great job recognizing what is available on the other side. Once she finds an opening, she is more than willing to go back to it until the defense takes it away.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='1052394' first='Raia' last='Sprague'] | MH</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1052394"],"_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-6af61dfe66b37"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1052394' first='Raia' last='Sprague'] brings plenty of confidence to the middle and has been one of her team's biggest offensive weapons. She has racked up 413 kills at 4.3 per set while hitting .250, and she contributes in the back row with 304 digs. Her swing has some serious power behind it, but there is also consistency to her attack that makes her tough to slow down. She is a middle who can keep the pressure on from start to finish.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='725396' first='Aubree' last='Wyatt'] | OH</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["725396"],"_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-6af61dfe66b6b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='725396' first='Aubree' last='Wyatt'] brings a heavy arm and plenty of volleyball IQ to the pin. She has 341 kills at 4.3 per set with a .254 hitting percentage, while also adding 228 digs on the season. Wyatt knows how to move the ball instead of simply swinging away, and that ability can make life difficult for a defense. She stays involved in both rows and has a knack for finding the shot that takes defenders out of the play.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='834049' first='Kendall' last='Chavez'] | OH</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["834049"],"_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-6af61dfe66b9a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='834049' first='Kendall' last='Chavez'] brings a different kind of speed to the attack. She has 340 kills at 3.9 per set, along with 299 digs, giving her a strong all-around presence for her team. Chavez works nicely alongside Wyatt's heavy arm, bringing a quicker swing and plenty of pace of her own. She loves to bounce the ball when she gets the chance, especially when she is running a two-ball out of the middle, and her speed combined with a high contact point can be tough to defend.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='1064162' first='Delaney' last='Piel'] | OH</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1064162"],"_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-6af61dfe66bc8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1064162' first='Delaney' last='Piel'] has been putting together a huge sophomore season, and State gives her another chance to show it off.

Piel brings plenty of activity to the court and has the offensive volume to keep defenses working all match long.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Good Luck at State!</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>YAY!
