– OH | Club: NKYVC | Ranking: #3
Barrett was terrific this recent high school season and although she missed a little time early in the season she still finished as the ECC’s top offensive point scorer with 387 total kills, certain to eclipse the 400-kill mark if she was able to compete the full slate of their schedule. A 1st team all-conference and Division I all-Ohio 3rd team selection for her efforts, Barrett moves up the rankings into the top three. She is a complete prospect who can pass, score from the pins, and terminate through quicker tempos and out of the back row. She can also get it done at the service line as well as defensively at the net as she finished top five in those statistical categories in the ECC. She is very versatile, dynamic and fluid in her approach work, and elevates well to create range through a high contact point, which separates her well from other attackers in this class. She will compete for NKYVC this club season and helps elevate an already highly talented arsenal of arms for this U16 team.

– OH | Club: Tri-State | Ranking: #9
This is an attacker that will continue to garner increased attention as volleyball transitions to the club season. She made a huge impact in the highly competitive GGCL this past high school season as she terminated 320 kills, placing her fourth overall in the toughest Division I conference in the state. This translated to a 4.0 kills per set average. She has dynamic ability as an attacker as she can create pace and range with her arm in the air. Adkins also added nearly eight digs per match. She will compete with Tri-State’s top U16 team this club season to complete a corps of pin attackers that should score a ton of points.

– S | Club: NKYVC | Ranking: #15
Yoder continues to prove her value as the year of 2021 was significant for her in the ways of competitive volleyball experience and improvement in skill, floor leadership, and decision-making as a setter. Competing for one of the top-ranked U15 teams in the country on the club circuit early this year, she made big strides in her ability to run a high-level and fast-tempo offense. That translated well to the high school season at Kings as she was complemented well by ball control and arms that help put her in a good position to distribute with similar style. She noticeably is the best setter in the ECC and among the best in this class in all of Ohio. The arsenal of attackers increases for her this club season for at NKYVC giving her more options. Keep an eye on her and this group over the next several months.

One of the top setters in the state, Drapp was key to Mercy McAuley’s effort during the high school season. The Wolves got some big wins throughout their tough schedule that includes competing in the extremely competitive GGCL. Her 849 assists placed her third among setters in the conference as she averaged 10.5 assists per set. She will return to Tri-State for the club season and carries forward great touch, tempo, and location that benefits well the big hitters that will surround her in each rotation.

– DS/L | Club: Elite | Ranking: #25
Coplan continues to improve her reliability from this role. She has all the tools to be an impact athlete as a libero. She has good first-step reaction and quickness all led by good vision and awareness throughout the flow of points. She can develop good range in serve receive and defensively to create in-system opportunities for her team. More balance and patience in the read and react phase will increase her productivity and efficiency further. She averaged 7.6 digs per match for Dublin Jerome this recent high school season.
