She has lead this team defensively all season, racking up 650 digs and showing now signs of slowing down going into this game. Her footwork is quick and technical, her hustle is unmatched when the ball is in play and her serve is sure to give opponents some trouble. A solid float serve has aided her in reaching 46 aces this season. Coming into this semi final game Collins will be the defender to beat for the Mansfield Tigers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["952585"],"_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-6af891d445b2f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hayley Hobbs, a 6'2 sophomore middle blocker for the Mansfield Tigers, will be the block to beat at the net going into today's match. Totaling 100 blocks so far this season, she is a machine at the net. Fundamental footwork, great read time, and the length to press against any swing, has given her the upper she clearly has taken advantage of. Hayley is a strong force for this Mansfield team and shows promise of outperforming as the battle for state continues.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["580697"],"_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-6af891d445b7e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sophomore 6 rotation outside, MC Crutcher, is not new to the volleyball radar. Leading the Mansfield Lady Tigers in several areas this season. She is the player to stop if there is any hope in defeating this varsity squad at the net. From anywhere on the court she is a threat offensively, being the go to girl for her team, ringing in 695 kills on the season, she clearly is not tired of swinging. From the back row her serve is deadly, her attack is just as strong and her defense is fearless. Do not miss her putting on a show this afternoon.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tompkins v.

Sitting at over 600 assists on the season so far, she leads her team with high energy and a quick tempo. While running the offense is a specialty, her ability to play defense solidifies her team's defensive strength. Her energy and aggressive play follows her to serving line, as she also, leads her team in aces at 80 total and showing promise of racking up a few this afternoon as Drew and her team take on Westlake High.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["784983"],"_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-6af891d445bbf"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Taylor Chorazy, a dominating 6'2 junior, middle blocker for Westlake, is coming in ready to work this afternoon. Totaling 133 blocks this season, she will be a force to reckon with at the net for Tompkins. Her footwork, her effort, her energy run the net with tenacity that is hard to get by. Protecting her defense with size and strength is her specialty and fuel the offense to get the job done. Don't count out her ability to swing for the kill in transition, Taylor has what it takes to lead from the middle and she has shown that is her intent going into this semi finals match.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
