Oleksik is always moving her feet, but stops in her tracks to make crisp two to three-point passes. Oleksik aligns her body to handle well-struck crosses and other shots from both the front and back rows. OIeksik is not afraid to swing her arms out to close seams or lunge after balls under control. Oleksik uses a nice platform to make the routine first touches. Oleksik possesses a quick touch on overhead passes and does a solid job defending lines.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1021644"],"_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-6af5ca7af37b8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Fisher has turned into a nice force in the middle for the Mustangs. She does not rush her swings, thus tools blocks. Fisher has a sound vertical jump allowing her to be effective on ones and gap shots. Fisher pounds nice balls to deep corners and mixes in nice tips to donuts. Fisher gets up before double blocks form. Fisher is an aggressive blocker. Fisher works well with teammates to form sound double blocks. Fisher finished the season with 194 kills, a .198 hitting percentage, 54 aces, 67 assisted blocks, eight solo blocks and 227 digs to help Loretto go 26-19, win the Division I-A District 11 Tournament, finish Region 6 runner-up and drive to the sub-state.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1063983"],"_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-6af5cf1a43e78"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Acree uses a sound court IQ to control the middle for the Choctaws. Acree pushes gap shots toward deep corners to surprise opponents. Acree's high attack points allow her to get on top of balls to pound them to different zones. Acree tools blocks and puts nice downward trajectories on her swings. Acree pushes overpassed balls away from opponents. Acree had 331 kills, a .371 hitting percentage, 18 solo blocks and 53 assisted blocks to help Dyer County to a 33-10 season, a Division I-AA 13th District crown, a 7th Region championship and a third straight state runner-up finish.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["938826"],"_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-6af5d2de6da55"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Clevinger does a great job putting hitters in position to succeed. She does not lock arms on sets and makes quick, precise touches. She mixes up her sets trying to keep defenses on the move. Clevinger also uses a sound vertical jump to provide the Bobcats with nice blocks, often slowing balls down for back row players. Clevinger's sound all-around play shows in every statistical category. She is an aggressive server and makes sound first touches. Clevinger had 105 kills, 73 aces, 847 assists and 321 digs to help Knoxville Central go 33-6 and win the Division I-AAA District 3 crown and drive to the sub-state.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["811628"],"_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-6af5d3f59180f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Stokes is productive from both the pins and middle in a number of ways. Stokes smokes lethal four-to-four crosses. Her high attack point lets her rainbow off shots to the back row. Stokes takes sound out of system rips and attacks seams with precision. Stokes is not afraid to use her off (left) hand to tip balls to shallow zones if defensive specialists are playing guarding against her hard swings. Stokes has crisp line shots from both pins and pounds down over passed balls with authority. Stokes pounded out 439 kills and manufactured a .404 hitting percentage last season to help Lausanne Collegiate go 21-8 overall and finish second in Division II-A District 6.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Note from Writer</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mike Graham has been writing for Prep Dig for nearly three years and has enjoyed getting to know the volleyball scenes in Kentucky, Ohio and Tennessee.
