<h4><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="66295" first="Allison" last="Berent"], L/DS Notre Dame Prep/Legacy</strong></h4>

<p>Berent is another in a line of great defenders from the Notre Dame Prep program. She's shown the ability to play multiple positions around the court in the last year as well, which has helped her move from 18<sup>th</sup> to 13<sup>th</sup> in our latest rankings. Berent has all the passing skills you need in a defender and she has the athleticism to play in the front row as well.</p>
<h4><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="66330" first="Ella" last="Schomer"], RS Marian/Michigan Elite</strong></h4>
<p>Schomer is another player that can play multiple positions, as she has done some setting during her club play, while being a standout RS for Marian during their championship run this past season. Schomer moves from 19<sup>th</sup> to 15<sup>th</sup> in our latest rankings. She has solid explosion at the net, but also can makes smart plays defensively.</p>
<h4><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="66314" first="Kennedy" last="Louisell"], OH Forest Hills Northern/FaR Out</strong></h4>
<p>Nobody made a bigger jump in the rankings than Louisell. She went from being unranked all the way up to No. 20. The 5'11” outside has great technique and is able to instinctively make the necessary plays. She is growing in confidence, and that is a big reason for her rankings jump. Louisell has really raised her game.</p>
<h4><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="66293" first="Kennedy" last="Arp"], OH/MB South Christian/FaR Out</strong></h4>
<p>Arp really made a big jump in the rankings as well, going from 32<sup>nd</sup> to 21<sup>st</sup>. Arp really has been able to raise her game during the club season, moving up to play for FaR Out 18 Black alongside some of the top players in the state. An athletic hitter that can stand out in the middle or the outside, Arp has a very high ceiling as she becomes more comfortable at each position.</p>
<h4><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="108718" first="Erin" last="Madigan"], S Dakota/Legacy</strong></h4>
<p>Madigan moved from 35<sup>th</sup> to 30<sup>th</sup> in our rankings update. This 6-foot setter is long at the net and can make a lot of plays that others at her position can't. Madigan brings the best out of her hitters and can play aggressively at the net, herself. As she continues to develop her leadership skills and add more tools to her toolbox, Madigan is going to be a top setter in the state.</p>
<p><strong>Other climbers of note: </strong>[player_tooltip player_id="66316" first="Remi" last="Madison"], OH (12 to 10); Neele'ge' Sims, MB (14 to 12); [player_tooltip player_id="66303" first="Paige" last="Giehtbrock"] OH (16 to 14); [player_tooltip player_id="66324" first="Shelby" last="Porter"], RS (27 to 24); [player_tooltip player_id="140475" first="Taylor" last="Stephens"], OH (WL to 38); [player_tooltip player_id="140476" first="Meredith" last="Simmons"], OH (WL to 40).</p>
