Her versatility shines through, whether she's passing pinpoint passes in serve receive or delivering a powerful swing from either pin. She's a true weapon from the back row, always finding a way to score. With her leadership qualities, she's bound to go far, and I'm excited to see how the rest of Carr's season unfolds!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["389639"],"_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"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-679ff4d6527a8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='389639' first='Jada' last='Johnson'] is an absolute head-turner. Her quick transitions on and off the net keep her available for sets at all times. What sets her apart is her ability to deliver a lethal line shot from either pin. With a powerful arm, she confidently powers through blocks without hesitation. Overall, I'm extremely impressed with Johnson—she's definitely a player to keep on your radar.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["200387"],"_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"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-679ff4d652820"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Elle is a well-rounded volleyball player with a quick approach and an aggressive arm swing. She plays fearlessly at the net, no matter the block in front of her. Her high vertical helps her excel above big blocks and find ways to get around them to score. What truly sets her apart, though, is her court vision—she's constantly able to find the open court and make the right play. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["447290"],"_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"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-679ff4d6528a3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sarahya is a player you can count on to end a long rally with authority. Every move she makes is filled with intention, and it shows in her play. She sets up a powerful block and has an incredibly quick approach. Her versatility on the court keeps her one step ahead of others. Remember her name—this certainly won't be the last time you hear of her.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["564276"],"_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"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-679ff4d652917"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Watching Lauren this weekend was truly impressive—her explosiveness at the net was unmatched. There were multiple times when I was left in awe by the rockets she was hitting. She brings fiery energy to the court and is undoubtedly a leader for her team. With the skills she's showcasing, I have no doubt Lauren has what it takes to take her game to the next level. I'm excited to see where her future takes her!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
