She's coachable and uses it to her advantage on the court. Her poise is also remarkable on the court. Codey does not get rattled by mistakes. She bounces right back and betters balls on the next play. Described as hard working, determined, kind and competitive by teammates and close ones, Codey takes hard swings and continues to find different ways to put balls down.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["845986"],"_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-699903df1e486"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kinney (pictured) just plays defensive specialist/libero at K2 where she'll play at Vanderbilt, but is also a six-rotation outside hitter for Knoxville Catholic. Knoxville Catholic head coach Brent Carter said what makes the athletically gifted Kinney special is her ability to learn on the fly and use that as an advantage against opponents. She swings from all six spots on the court. Carter said any ball hit near her on defense or serve receive turns into a two to three-point passe on a three-point scale setting up the offense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["757907"],"_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-69990707799a9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jett plays with tremendous effort every time she steps out on the court and it shows with great hustle play after hustle play. Jett has great range and uses it to run forward and up softly hit balls. Jett has great instincts quickly popping out an arm on balls smacked her way. Jett is reliable on the simple first touches. Jett had 231 digs for Bourbon County in the fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["938822"],"_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-699908166ad23"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Reed has a lot of tricks up her sleeve at the net. She sends balls over on second touches whether they are setter dumps or setovers. If she sees a hole on the other side, she does not hesitate to take advantage of them. Reed uses a good platform o first touches and puts balls on target to her hitters. Reed is playing one grade for 17 Elite this spring and it will only help her grow her game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Note from the Writer</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mike Graham has been writing for Prep Dig for two years and has enjoyed getting to know the volleyball scenes in both Kentucky and Ohio.
