Earning 12 digs per match in 2024 she has more than doubled that effort this season as she is earning a massive 28.7 digs per contest for an average of over seven digs per set. Her experience is noticeable given how she plays the role with good patience to watch and react, using her tools in all directions to create offensive opportunities for her team.</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":889122,"_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='802694' first='Luciana' last='Smith']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'4u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"32926","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Johnstown-Monroe","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_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-68d47379bf23d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A 5'4 senior, Smith is a four-year varsity player for JMHS. She is another prospect that has made steady gains as her career has progressed. With a career average of 12.0 digs per match, she is picking up just over 24 digs per match in her final season. Her reaction time is quick as she has good range in all directions. The Johnnies are 11-5 overall as Smith has picked up 30 digs or more in five of those matches.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["732832"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":889124,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-68d47379bf305"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Toy is most often recognized for her offense as she is putting up big numbers for South Range with her arm. However, her defense is stellar and has been for multiple seasons. She is contributing a career best 16.7 d/m following consecutive efforts in both her freshman and sophomore seasons in which she averaged 14 digs per contest. At 5'9, she is a versatile net threat offensively but is more than that with her ability to cover the court well in all directions from the middle back position in their system. One of her best efforts came recently in a tough 3-2 loss to Ursuline in which she had 23 kills and 37 digs.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["512410"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":889123,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-68d47379bf2a7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Loncar played in a reserved role in 2024 as a freshman but has seen a lot more court this season for Lake Catholic to contribute more to their passing and defense. She is averaging 21.2 digs per match or 6.5 d/s. She is a skilled passer and defender with no fear to make big plays in pursuit of the ball. At 5'5, she creates good angles and leads with her platform well to maximize her range. Earning 20 digs or more in seven matches this season, she earned 34 in their most recent 3-2 win over the Beaumont School. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["774779"],"_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-68d47379bf357"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Martin was a player that garnered attention as a rising freshman during the most recent club season. She is a steady first-touch prospect as evidenced by the 13.4 digs per match she creates to lead tradition-rich Gilmour Academy defensively. She has quickness in her reaction and first step with ability to combine her footwork well with her platform extension and angles. Her career best effort in her first varsity season was 27 digs in a 3-2 win over Kenston in late August. The Lancers are currently 7-6 overall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
