We shared in our preview article we saw a lot of full game action this season between high school and club season. After a shortened 2020 club season, we were able to get a full year of volleyball and make some adjustments to our rankings. There are some players who basically, "showed out" this club season and earned a move up the rankings. Here are our players who made the largest rises in our updated rankings. [player_tooltip player_id="41811" first="Carly" last="Glendinning"] - OH - Timberland/Rockwood Thunder - 22 > 5 Glendinning was lights out versus open competition this spring and showed she is arguably one of the top OH hitter in this class. As a 6 rotation pin, she held her own in the passing game and defensively. She was able to fill up the stat line offensively with an array of shots. We look forward to seeing what she has in store this fall for Timberland. [player_tooltip player_id="119202" first="Caitlyn" last="Burns"] - MB/RS - Liberty North/Dynasty - 52 >33 Burns may not be the flashiest of players...meaning height and flying over the net but she is as steady a player in the state. Her consistency is what she brings to the table along with her knowledge of the game. She’s a winner. She was a key fixture in the undefeated state championship run for Liberty North. Her ability to use power and off-speed shots proved huge in their title season. [player_tooltip player_id="41817" first="Jerica" last="Jackson"] - OH - Hickman/417 Columbia - 61 > 36 The athletic pin had a strong season for the 417 program based out of Columbia. She improved greatly from when we saw her during the high school season in her court vision and shot selection. She has made strides in the passing game and will continue to grow her volleyball IQ over another fall campaign for Hickman. [player_tooltip player_id="119195" first="Rebecca" last="Wright"] - DS/L - Liberty/Club North - 70 > 41 Club North had a tremendous year which included a qualifier win. Wright was key in this team’s success with her back row play. She has tremendous instincts and a great platform. We look forward to her play taking another huge step in playing in the tough Kansas City Suburban Gold conference this fall.
