The 2029 prospect is a physical player and gets an aggressive approach, when she keeps the ball in front she will deliver a charge. Eide and Bellevue are off to a 5-0 start with a recent sweep over Lake Washington as their latest victory. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["890150"],"_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-68d9fc4c06b6d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Li is stepping into the setter role on a talented Lakeside squad that features a big and talented front line and a nice mix of younger players and upperclassmen. The Lions are 5-2 on the season, and Li is delivering clean sets to the pins and importantly, working her excellent middles for quality swings in transition and as well as free balls and first contact plays. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["890151"],"_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-68d9fc4c06bb6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Wellington is an aggressive attacker who has good size, long arms and a strong block on either pin. Eastside Catholic has her in the rotation as a ninth-grader, and Wellington is willing to attack the edge of the block with her swings and has the versatility to score from the outside or right side. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["890157"],"_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-68d9fc4c06bfc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Chelan was in the Gold Bracket semi-finals over the weekend at the Sheridan Welch Crossover tournament in Spokane, and Hughbanks was excellent defensively in the libero jersey. The freshman starter displayed excellent quickness and a willingness to step in and take charge of the back row defensively and in serve recieve. Hughbanks will be a major contributor as Chelan looks to continue rolling at state in November. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["890166"],"_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-68d9fc4c06c41"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kastberg has been a crucial player for a Sumner squad that is off to an official (per WIAA website) 6-0 start. The 2029 prospect has terrific size and has a beach background, two factors that have helped her hit the ground running as a six-rotation attacker at the 4A varsity level. Kastberg has already delivered two 20 kill matches and four double-double (kills &amp; digs) efforts on the young season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
