MN Showcase – Class A/AA – Extraordinary Setters

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Some of the best Minnesota teams in Class A and AA were at the Midwest Volleyball Warehouse last weekend. We were checking them out on Friday and tried to get our eyes on 32 teams in four hours was quite the task! We want to feature some of the setters that really showed up while we were at their court!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

was running a 6-2 with Ava McIntosh for the Stars.  She really caught my attention with a really tricky and deceptive setter dump.  She is a good size setter at 5'8 and more importantly has a clean and quick hands.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["108103"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"Rommes impressed me as soon as she stepped into the front row.  I've seen her as a libero and setter but with the amount of height Caledonia has on their roster I was impressed to see Rommes hold her own in the front row for them.  She is a scrappy defender, runs a solid offensive system and is very smart with her distribution of the ball.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["117649"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Kunze-Hoeg is not just a great distributor but she puts up a huge block.  This gives her the ability to be a solid 6 rotation player with a sound all around game.  She has tremendous potential to play at the next level as a setter who can also attack.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["261237"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"Goldsmith was running a 6-2 and hitting as a right side attacker in the front row.  I really like her as an attacker and she puts up a solid block against opposing pin hitters.  Goldsmith was making a number of athletic plays.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["307273"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"Enns is aggressive and confident running her offense for Legacy Christian.  She isn't afraid to call her own number and push the pace with her offense.  Enns will take risks, play gritty defense, and puts a tough serve in play.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_5_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_5_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_5_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip
