Liberty High School is a program to keep tabs on, they will have <strong>Rylee Fay</strong> who is a commit to Missouri State.  North Cedar will be led by one of the top liberos in the Class of 2021 in <strong>Sydney Dennis</strong> who is committed to Iowa. </span></p> <p><strong>Out of State Teams</strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">With teams from out of state there is always the unknown which makes it exciting for all involved.  Here are the teams coming from outside state lines - Albert Lea (MN), Bishop Miege (KS), Fremont (NE), Martin County West (MN), and Platte Co (MO). </span></p>
