<p>Incredible net play was on display at the 3A and 4A State Tournament last weekend. The most powerful hitters against disciplined blockers put on a show that kept fans engaged in every match. Strong and smart hitters make volleyball fun to watch, while a well-timed block kill can change the entire momentum of the match. These players were powerful and smart at the net all season, but especially last weekend.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='849942' first='Abby' last='Etuge'] has a textbook block. She closes to her pin and presses her hands over the tape, earning block kills and positive deflections for her defense. On offense, she approaches with speed and power on every play, making it difficult for defenders to read what is coming. In the state finals, she earned back-to-back kills with light tips directly over the blockers. Her aggressive approach and powerful swing get defenders digging their heels in, making her tips even more effective.</p>
