<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Liberos are sometimes the unsung heroes on a successful squad. They are fast, physical, and take care of a large portion of the court while making sure their team stays in system. It's only because of them that attackers get some of the opportunities they do. Everyone loves to celebrate the big kill but I love seeing teams celebrating the huge defensive plays that are made. I personally love seeing a libero that is reading the other side like she has a crystal ball and she makes most plays look routine. The following are some liberos that caught my eye during the Prep Dig Chi-Town Classic.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block
