Her effort in KC helped contribute to the depth of point scoring they can create through a 6-2 option to their system. At 5'10, she is relentless in her ability to take heavy swings and force blockers to have to play bigger as she can use hands well while also generating good pace.. The high contact she can create is complemented well by her footwork and drive off the court, followed by great arm control without compromising much of her power.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["845667"],"_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-6998ad0827da1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Clark (*pictured) is a fun player to watch. After seeing her approach and score a lot as a a middle during the high school season, she is getting time at the right side of which she was productive for [program_tooltip program_id='431555' first='Mintonette' last=''] m.62 in KC. In addition to being left-handed, she moves well in her footwork, a benefit from her versatility and developed tools to score off one or two feet. Her contributions on both sides of the ball are key for her team as she defends well at the right pin.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["510903"],"_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-6998ad0827e21"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">As part of a team that has a solid corps of capable point scorers, Long may bring the biggest heat among them. A primary pin, she definitely saw a lot of opportunities to swing from the left side of the court. Through the precision they can create with their fast tempo, Long and others often see space in front of them. She is really good at exploiting that space and will make teams pay for it as her effort proved throughout the weekend. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["582228"],"_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-6998ad0827e96"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">We saw glimpses of Williams' gains in her game as an attacker and defender in KC. TSE does a good job of getting middles involved and Williams does good work to get herself available and up quickly to be able to use her long reach and high contact point. She scored on and away from her setter with good control and movement. Defensively, watch out. She had some help at the pins but even more impressive was that she had times that took care of business alone to get up and over to send the ball back at the hitter with authority.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["763919"],"_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-6998ad0827f11"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The uncommitted Martin had good moments when opportunities presented themselves for AVC's middle offense to be a factor. Her contributions balance top arms on this team that are among the best in the Ohio 2027 class. Where her impact was most noticeable at times was in her defense at the net. She tracks the ball well help set and deliver a good block that at times included three sets of hands across the net with Martin leading that charge.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
