They are the ones who catch your attention, make you want to watch them again, and have you checking back throughout the season to see how their skills are developing. Some of these athletes have made tremendous strides this fall, showing growth in their versatility and overall game. As the high school season comes to a close and club volleyball gets underway, these are a few players we are especially excited to keep an eye on. We can't wait to see how they continue to grow and what they bring to the court next season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Remember to follow me on Instagram @Prepdigamy and Facebook @PrepDig Amy for live event coverage, behind the scenes stories, player highlights, and the latest updates.

She was a major contributor on both sides of the ball, racking up an impressive 216 kills (2.3 per set), 69 blocks, and 56 digs. Brever has great height, moves well along the net, and does an solid job reading opposing setters to put herself in position to get a solid block up. She is also a reliable offensive option who can make an impact when her team needs a big swing. With another high school season still ahead of her, there is plenty to be excited about and we can't wait to follow her development with [program_tooltip program_id='429186' first='Kandi' last='Elite'] this winter on the club circuit.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["737274"],"_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-6af73cbc0b01c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lisowski is a young setter who made some impressive strides this season while running the offense for CFC. She does a nice job distributing the ball and getting her hitters involved, but she also isn't afraid to get a little sneaky with her offense. She loves to take the ball over on two, catching opposing defenses off guard and picking up points for her team. With Lisowski running the show, CFC finished with a solid 20-11 overall record. As she continues to develop her skills and gain experience, she will be a fun one to follow during the club season and next high school season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1064431"],"_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-6af73e0c9b7a2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Post is a young middle who jumped onto my radar this season with Stewartville. As a starter for the Tigers, she gained valuable experience on both sides of the ball, developing her attacking and blocking skills while playing a key role in the team's run at a state title. She moves well at the net, is smart with her shot selection, and continues to show the potential to become a major offensive and defensive threat. Playing against some of the best competition in the state will only help her development, and I expect her to be a big force for the Tigers in the coming years. She is definitely one I'll be keeping an eye on during the club season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1064432"],"_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-6af73e0c9b7d8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Radatz is a true utility player who showed just how versatile she can be this season for the Ramblers. After spending much of the club season as a defensive specialist, she found herself attacking from the right pin during the high school season. She took on the new role in stride and quickly proved she could contribute offensively, finishing with 123 kills while averaging 1.4 kills per set. Her willingness to adapt and take on a different role says a lot about her as a player. With her defensive background and growing offensive skills, Radatz is becoming a well rounded athlete who will be fun to watch as she continues to develop over the club season with Tenacity.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["522689"],"_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-6af9cc7325b5b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Rye is a young pin hitter with plenty of hops, a fast arm swing, and no fear when it comes to taking a big swing. She has the ability to put some serious power behind the ball and isn't afraid to challenge opposing blockers, using their hands to her advantage. There is a lot of potential in her game, and she will have a great opportunity to continue developing her skills as she heads to V-Hawks for the upcoming club season. With another season of experience under her belt, we anticipate Rye will become a major scoring threat for the Trojans next fall and carry a significant share of their offensive load.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
