Pears brings a powerful arm swing to the floor, but what makes her even more dangerous is her ability to recognize the defense and mix in well placed shots. She is one of the core offensive leaders for Palmer Ridge and has the ability to take over matches when given the ball. The Clemson University commit has been putting up big time numbers throughout her junior season and will be a key piece as Palmer Ridge looks to make a deep postseason run.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1000283"],"_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-6ab15d050346b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Harper Scott is putting in the work for Valor Christian this season and has been impressive so far. The uncommitted senior is a player we have been watching for a while, and her game continues to improve each time we see her. What stands out most about Scott is her consistency, especially in crucial moments when her team needs a play. She does not need to be flashy to make an impact; she takes care of her responsibilities, stays composed, and consistently gets the job done defensively, which is a quality that can translate well to the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1020215"],"_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-6ab15d05034bc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Piper McFadden is having a stellar senior season and looks to help lead Valor Christian on a deep postseason run. McFadden continues to be a player to watch in Colorado, bringing an elite offensive game and consistently distributing the ball efficiently to Valor's weapons. She is one of the core leaders of this group and brings a confident, composed presence to the court. Committed to Pepperdine University, McFadden looks poised and ready to make an impact at the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1020217"],"_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-6ab15d050350c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ainsley Adams has been a key piece for Chaparral's offense, bringing consistency and a high volleyball IQ to the court. Adams is a player we are keeping a close eye on this fall because of the dynamic all around game she brings as a setter. She distributes efficiently, understands how to put her hitters in good positions to score, and is an offensive threat herself, keeping opposing defenses guessing with well timed dumps. Adams continues to show why she is such an important piece of Chaparral's offense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["808878"],"_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-6ab15d05035a2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kylee Mayes is a player we have been keeping a close eye on and continues to impress this fall. Committed to the University of Wyoming, Mayes brings an elite level of defensive play to the court for Resurrection Christian and consistently puts herself in the best position to make plays. What separates Mayes from other defenders is her consistency in serve receive and her ability to cover a lot of court. Her range allows her pin hitters to focus on attacking while she takes control of the back row, making her an incredibly valuable piece for Resurrection Christian.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
