She was constantly communicating, always on the move, and fully in control of her offense. What set her apart was her ability to exploit defensive weaknesses—she consistently pushed sets to deep corners, keeping defenders off balance. It's no surprise she's headed to the next level with the Jimmies—her skill, awareness, and leadership make her a game-changer.<strong>~Theresa @prepdigdakotas</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["745852"],"_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-67b0ed3af1915"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">She's on our watch list for a reason. For her age, Syela is far ahead of the game in the setter role. She hustled non-stop, taking command of the court and running the offense like a seasoned veteran. Her ability to execute routes with precision puts her right up there with the best. I can't wait to see more from Syela—she's one to watch!~Theresa @prepdigdakotas</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Remy Catojot","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'4u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"32561","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Manitoba","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"Shock","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67b0ed3af198e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I have to give Remy a well-deserved shoutout! Hailing from Manitoba, she is an absolute game-changer. At 6'4”, she's a rare and dominant presence at the setter position, using her height, athleticism, and high volleyball IQ to dictate the pace of play.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">What sets Remy apart? Her ability to see the court, make quick decisions, and deliver precise sets under pressure. She runs a smooth offense, keeping blockers guessing and setting her hitters up for success.

She brings an unstoppable presence, leaving her mark on every play. There wasn't a single area of the court she didn't dominate.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Her attacks were explosive, consistently powering through tough blocks with ease.
