Who Would Be On My 4A Iowa All Star Roster?

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The State Tournament was definitely one to remember. It was so much fun watching the wide variety of players with various skillsets throughout the week. I wanted to make a post highlighting some of my favorite players throughout the week and similar to how the tournament has all-tournament teams, I wanted to make an All-Star Roster for each class. Next up we will be doing the 4A class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>To keep up with state tournament coverage make sure to follow me on Instagram @Prepdigmarissa</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["493974"],"_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-6aefd56d0685b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='493974' first='Hadley' last='Michael'] was a standout setter with her clean hands, beautiful ball placement, and her ability to run her offense, even in the toughest situations. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Tournament Stats</em></strong>/ <strong><em>Season Stats</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Assists:141/ Assists: 1050</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kills:7/ Kills: 67</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Digs: 14/ Digs: 206</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Aces:5/ Aces: 39</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Season Blocks: 68</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1062220"],"_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-6aefeb8ca857b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Payton Curtin is a dynamic setter who knows how to move the ball around well. She uses her high IQ to gauge her hitter's matchups and knows how to make the best decisions. Not only does she run her offense well, but she also does a fantastic job reassuring and fueling her teammates with energy.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Tournament Stats/ Season Stats</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Assists: 85/ 1047</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Digs: 39/ 218</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Aces: 3/ 25</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["742600"],"_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-6aefd56d068c2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Piper Hodge is a major problem for a lot of offenses with her quick reactions and ability to cover a lot of ground both on serve receive as well as defense. She not only is a fantastic libero, but she's an amazing teammate as well. She's a great leader and did a good job of guiding the younger Assumption group this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Tournament Stats/ Season Stats</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Digs: 36/ 461</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Assists: 7/ 93</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Aces: 2/ 36</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["877524"],"_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-6aefd56d06911"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This young freshman has done a great job of proving herself all season long and the state tournament was no different. Needham fulfilled her role well and was a key piece to Assumption's fantastic defense. This underclassmen has an incredibly high ceiling and I'm excited to see how she performs next season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Tournament Stats/ Season Stats</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Digs: 14/ 194</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Assists: 5/ 12</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Aces: 2/ 40</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["493984"],"_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-6aefd56d0695a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ramler is an absolute powerhouse and is definitely a tough one to defend. The future Redbird has a powerful swing paired with amazing court awareness which is exactly why the senior was a top scorer throughout the tournament as well as the entire season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Tournament Stats/ Season Stats</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kills: 32/ 417</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Blocks: 4/ 43</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Digs: 12/ 242</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Aces: 6/ 51</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["516002"],"_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-6aefd56d0699f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Julia Schlarbaum is an all around fantastic player who goes balls to the wall every time she steps on the court. She's an amazing athlete who can be used from any part of the court. She swing is strong, her block is solid, her top spin serve is nasty, and her defense is steady. She is already one of the better hitters in her class, and she still has a very high upside.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Tournament Stats/ Season Stats</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kills: 57/ 420</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Blocks: 4/ 32</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Digs: 24/ 215</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Aces: 14/ 61</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["560368"],"_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-6aefd56d069e6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">There is a reason why Hatlevig is ranked #1 and every single one of her stats can back up where she's ranked. She is a fantastic all around player who moves well on defense and somehow always manages to find the floor with her swing. I truly haven't seen many teams (if any at all) who's defense has been able to stop her. This is another junior who is going to make some big impacts not only at the high school level, but at the collegiate level as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Tournament Stats/ Season Stats</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kills: 86/ 604</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Blocks: 6/ 27</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Digs: 43/ 249</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Aces: 5/ 47</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["730403"],"_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-6aefd56d06a29"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Delaynee Steele pairs nicely with Hatlevig and was another one of Norwalk's promising offensive options. Although she didn't get nearly as many attempts as Hatlevig, she was able to take charge every time she was given the ball. She plays her role well and knows how to power through most blocks. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Tournament Stats/ Season Stats</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kills: 41/ 282</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Blocks: 7/ 54</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Digs: 9/ 69</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Aces: 7/ 26</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["893927"],"_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-6aefd56d06a6e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Amalia Djoumessi is a fast moving scrappy middle who knows how to quickly adjust to her sets, and moves the ball around well. She is aggressive when it comes to her swings, but she knows how to utilize her shots as well. You don't see many middles leading their team's offense, but Djoumessi is that assertive with her offense that she is the Go-Hawks go-to.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Tournament Stats/ Season Stats</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kills: 22/ 343</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Blocks: 6/ 98</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["493660"],"_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-6aefd56d06ab4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Similar to Steele, Bailey Simpson does a fantastic job working alongside Schlarbaum to be a promising option for CCA's offense and knows how to capitalize on every ball she gets. The senior is also incredibly versatile and knows how to fill in wherever she's needed. We've seen her make major impacts while swinging from all across the net and gets her fair share of big back row plays throughout the season as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Tournament Stats/ Season Stats</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kills: 32/ 373</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Blocks: 5/ 40</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Digs: 17/ 231</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Aces: 4/ 68</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>HONORABLE MENTION</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["946957"],"_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-6aefd56d06af8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Although North Polk didn't make it very far in the tournament, that didn't stop Rasmussen from trying to make the most of her time on the big stage. North Polk had a tough first round match against Western Dubuque, but the junior gave it her absolute all and did a good job of getting the Bobcats out of system as much as she could and truly left it all on the court.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Tournament Stats/ Season Stats</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kills: 5/ 310</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Blocks: 3/ 54</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Digs: 16/ 301</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Aces: 4/ 29</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
