From effective attackers who can take over a match to crafty setters who keep offenses running smoothly, the talent in this class is both skilled and competitive. Here are some of the 5A players to watch this fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Remember to follow me on Instagram @Prepdigamy and Facebook @PrepDig Amy for up to date event coverage, stories, and more. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["877088"],"_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-6a30c65401762"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bertha-Hewitt finished just shy of the .500 mark last season with a 13-15 record and will be looking to take another step forward this fall. A big part of that will be all-conference attacker Kendal Beyatt. Beyatt will be looked to on to lead the offense and provide a steady presence on the court as the Bears chase a winning season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["933667"],"_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-6a30c89b5f171"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sebeka is going to lean on its junior outside hitter Jansson in a big way this season. Its easy to see why she is looked to in big moments. She filled up the stat sheet last year with 238 kills, 20 blocks, and 340 digs. She's always involved in the play and isn't limited to one spot on the court. She can attack effectively from both pins and even out of the middle when needed. Her versatility and willingness to do whatever the team needs makes her a big part of Sebeka's success.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["996692"],"_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-6a30c89b5f1ff"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Nevis captured the Section 5A title and make a trek to the state tournament before falling to eventual champion Russell-Tyler-Ruthton and a tough Fillmore Central team. After graduating five seniors, they'll lean heavily on their senior setter Bolster to lead the way. Her experience as the floor general and her leadership will be key for a successful season and if Nevis hopes to make another trip to state this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
