Class of 2022: The Fall’s Standout Setters

<p>Setters are an important part of any good volleyball team.</p> <p>They run the offense and raise the game of their teammates.</p> <p>In the Class of 2022, a number of the top setters show they can do a lot more than just set.</p> <p>Here’s a look at some of the 2022 setters that really shined during the fall season.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="24844" first="Alyssa" last="Borellis"], Notre Dame Prep: </strong>It’s almost unfair to call Borellis (Ole Miss) a setter, as she really does a little bit of everything for the Irish, a D2 quarterfinalist. While Borellis had 472 assists for ND Prep, she led the team in kills with 434 while hitting an eye-popping .419. She also had 51 blocks, 42 aces and 228 digs. Borellis is a force everywhere on the floor and the definition of a complete player.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="24845" first="Renee" last="Brines"], Cadillac: </strong>The Vikings are a D2 quarterfinalist this year as well and Brines has been a big reason why. She flawlessly runs the offense and racked up 1,164 assists during the season. That was just one aspect of her game though, as she also had 252 kills, 525 digs and 102 aces. The Vikings count on Brines for a lot, but she comes through each time.</p> <p><strong>Alyssa DeVries, Grand Rapids Christian: </strong>DeVries had some big shoes to fill in this year for Christian, but she kept the powerful Eagles offense rolling along. DeVries had 1,040 assists over 94 sets while also putting up 210 digs, 40 kills and 37 aces. She grew in comfort and confidence throughout the season and may find a way to lead the Eagles to another state title to finish out the season.</p> <p><strong>Mackenzie Delacher, Rockford: </strong>Delacher racked up a lot of assists this fall for the Rams. She put up 1,029 assists over 119 sets, while also adding 337 digs, 94 kills and 40 aces. Delacher is a well-coached setter and it shows in her decision making and leadership skills. She will have Rockford rolling around as another strong D1 program in 2021.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="60856" first="Lauren" last="Lee"], Skyline: </strong>After missing most of the 2019 season due to injury, Lee has bounced back very nicely in 2020. She ran a powerful Skyline offense and helped the Eagles reach the D1 quarterfinals. This fall, Lee had 867 assists, 177 digs, 53 kills and 40 aces. Lee has some great hitters to work with, but her play also elevates their game.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="24875" first="Karlee" last="Stoll"], Anchor Bay: </strong>Stoll was a great leader on the floor for the Tars this year. Her control of the offense had Anchor Bay competing for a district championship this year. Stoll has established herself as one of the best in the class through her club play as well. The next year is a chance for her to really create some space as the top primary setter in this class.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="24835" first="Kendyl" last="Andrews"], Flushing: </strong>Another steady player at the setter position is Andrews. She guided Flushing to a Division 1 district championship and was an All-Region and All-Flint Metro Stripes player. Andrews has a lot of athleticism and uses it well at the position. She plays with a lot of confidence on the floor.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="24865" first="Julia" last="Mills"], Airport: </strong>Mills is another do-everything type player that was the lead setter for Airport, but could also finish at the net and had a great passing game in the back row. Her diverse skills make her a very valuable asset for the Jets and will have her as a very impactful player in the 2021 season.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="60845" first="Kylie" last="Bohn"], Unionville-Sebewaing: </strong>The Patriots are always a tough team in Division 3 and that was the case again in 2020. Bohm ran a steady offense for USA, racking up 875 assists over 82 sets. She also had 103 digs and 32 aces. With limited time on the court, Bohn was able to the make the most of each playing opportunity.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="24864" first="Alia" last="Mastromatteo"], Portage Northern: </strong>Mastromatteo played feverishly around the court this fall for Northern. She put up 781 assists, 94 kills and 29 aces, but also had 295 digs. Her effort was very visible, which contributed to her leadership skills as well.</p> <p><strong>Others to note: </strong>[player_tooltip player_id="24850" first="Kate" last="Collingsworth"], SMCC; Hallie Creighton, Plymouth Christian; [player_tooltip player_id="24855" first="Jacoby" last="Flynn"], Rochester Adams; [player_tooltip player_id="60850" first="Sophia" last="Hagerty"], Traverse City Central; Mehl Hansen, Portage Central; Cierra Laska, Byron Center; [player_tooltip player_id="24863" first="Jaina" last="Macaulay"], Lake Orion; Mia Riley, Fowler; Grace Steenwyk, Zeeland East; [player_tooltip player_id="92066" first="Reagan" last="Stempin"], Regina; [player_tooltip player_id="92236" first="Josie" last="Teslaa"], Unity Christian.</p>
