She brings versatility and efficiency to the offense and is a reliable option when her team needs a big swing in a difficult situation. Smith has an impressive range of shots, a fast arm swing, and provides solid serve receive and ball control in the back row, making her an incredibly effective six rotation outside hitter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":1022611,"_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"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a8dfd02938a5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Olivia Fulle continues to impress as one of Colorado's elite middle blockers, bringing a dominant presence to the front row. She is a go to attacker who can take over matches when consistently fed the ball, using her quickness in transition and ability to score from anywhere along the net. Fulle is equally impactful as a blocker, reading the court well and consistently getting quality touches and slowdowns that give her defense opportunities to make plays.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1009874"],"_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"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a8dfd02938f5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Riley Weatherred is a crafty setter who consistently finds a way to get her hands on nearly every ball. She handles tight passes well, distributes efficiently, brings a tough serve from the end line, and positions herself well as a blocker at the net. Weatherred is the type of player whose presence is immediately felt on the court, and she is expected to play a major role for her team this fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["791666"],"_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"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a8dfd0293941"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Anna Morella continues to impress with her relentless defensive effort and ability to consistently make high level reads. She anchors the back row in serve receive, but what separates Morella is her versatility and ability to play effectively in any position across the back row. Her consistency, court awareness, and all out effort make her a key defensive presence who is poised for a standout high school season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1009873"],"_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"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a8dfd029398a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Breck DeRuiter stands out as one of Colorado's elite pin hitters in the class of 2027 and enters her senior season poised to make a major impact for her high school team. DeRuiter brings a high contact point and powerful arm swing to the court, making her a consistent offensive threat from the pin. She is especially valuable in out of system situations, where her team can rely on her to take difficult swings and find ways to terminate.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
