Jimena made the longest drive in this showcase group coming up from the Rio Grande Valley and she made every mile worth it. Her attacking game was sharp and purposeful from the very first set she got her hands on, generating real power from the left pin without sacrificing consistency. Her serve receive platform was steady throughout both the skill segments and the scrimmage competition and she held her ground against quality servers without flinching. Court coaches noted how rarely she gave away a free ball, which is one of the clearest indicators of a player who has been trained to compete in all six rotations. She communicated well, brought genuine energy to her teammates, and never let a difficult moment turn into a lost point without doing something about it first. The RGV does not send many players to Houston-area showcases at this level, but when they do, they always ball out. Please help us congratulate her on earning a Top Performer award for this showcase
