She has fundamental skills and soft hands. Her feet are quick and has good footwork which is her strong point.\u00a0 And she can get up. Excellent server (#1 in ACES in CIF SS Div 3AA), jumping serve skills as well as zone serving. Good aggressiveness on the court. She understands her responsibility as the Setter is that she is the &#8220;quarterback\u201d of the Team. Her coach says she is one to watch and can&#8217;t count the number of games she has single handedly won in the crunch. She plays well on the outside both left and right.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; NSR volleyball prospect, Lexi Dempsey, who has committed to play volleyball for the University of Portland, and has been selected as our featured Female Athlete.\u00a0 The 5&#8217;10&#8221; setter from Palm Springs High School in Palm Springs, California, carries a 4.3 GPA and is ranked 27th in her class of 610 seniors.\u00a0 She plans to &#8230; <a class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nsr-inc.com\/scouting-news\/6047\/\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":29,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nsr-inc.com\/scouting-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6047"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nsr-inc.com\/scouting-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nsr-inc.com\/scouting-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nsr-inc.com\/scouting-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/29"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nsr-inc.com\/scouting-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6047"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.nsr-inc.com\/scouting-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6047\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6053,"href":"https:\/\/www.nsr-inc.com\/scouting-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6047\/revisions\/6053"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nsr-inc.com\/scouting-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6047"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nsr-inc.com\/scouting-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6047"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nsr-inc.com\/scouting-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6047"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
