Here’s a look at the top 10 middles in the Class of 2024.
1. Mallory Bohl Mallory Bohl 6'3" | MB Saline | 2024 State #102 Nation MI , Saline/Legacy: Bohl is a 6’3” middle that is already finishing at a high rate and a standout blocker. The sky is the limit for Bohl as she develops more confidence and command on the floor.
2. Kendall Hopewell Kendall Hopewell 6'1" | MB Forest Hills Northern | 2024 State #193 Nation MI , Forest Hills Eastern/FaR Out: Hopewell has been able to turn a lot of heads with her explosiveness at the net in both hitting and blocking. She’s had a knack for being in the right place at the right time, but that’s due to her instincts and quickness.
3. Ellie Fles Ellie Fles 6'0" | MB South Christian | 2024 State MI , South Christian/FaR Out: Fles has been able to play on the outside or middle due to her footwork and ability to adapt on the court. She’s got good size at 6’0” and likes to play a physical style.
4. Mila Kavara Mila Kavara 6'2" | MB Forest Hills Central | 2024 State MI , Forest Hills Central/FaR Out: Kavara has a lot to offer as a 6’2” middle with high termination rates. She’s also listed as a RS for the Rangers, allowing her to move around the net and add more tools to her game.
5. Alison Parachek Alison Parachek 6'0" | MB Dexter | 2024 State MI , Dexter/L2: Parachek has good length at the net and plays very active on the floor. Her effort allows her to be in a lot of plays and get a lot of touches on opposing attacks.
6. Johanna Tillman Johanna Tillman 6'2" | MB Dakota | 2024 State MI , Dakota/Legacy: Tillman has a real desire to be great and it’s likely to take her far in the years to come. She does a good job of reading defenses and hit at different speeds. Tillman can really help a solid Dakota squad this season.
7. Allison Pilat Allison Pilat 6'2" | OH Plymouth Christian | 2024 State MI , Plymouth Christian/Michigan Elite: Pilat is a real game-changing player at the Division 4 level. She’s got the size (6’1”) and athleticism to cause a lot of problems for opposing hitters. She’s also continually improving on her footwork to be more explosive offensively.
8. Carissa Musta Carissa Musta 6'3" | MB Cadillac | 2024 State MI , Cadillac/FaR Out: Musta is off to a great start this varsity season, racking up 23 kills over 11 sets while hitting .339 for Cadillac. She’s also been a big force with her blocking, averaging one per set.
9. Piper Risdon Piper Risdon 5'11" | MB Lowell | 2024 State MI , Lowell/FaR Out: Risdon has a high ceiling, as she moves really well offensively. She has shown the ability to finish points anywhere along the front row. This year should see her take her game up another level.
10. Brooke Foucher Brooke Foucher 5'11" | MB Northville | 2024 MI , St. Clair/Legacy: Foucher plays with a lot of intensity on the floor and is a vocal leader for her teams. That intensity leads to a lot of pop on her attacks and a lot of touches on blocks. With her determined play, Foucher is likely to go far.
