Top Ohio Performers
Presley Stokes Presley Stokes 5'10" | OH Wellsville | 2025 State OH – Mintonette Sports m.51
Absolutely had to start it off with this 6-rotation outside. She came to play and make a statement. Powerful from the outside, hitting a variety of shots and putting some heat behind it. She was aggressive on the net but where she really made an impact was in the back row with some amazing run downs and 3 passes. She was a big part in getting her team a national title. Also named to the All-tournament team and named MVP, we will surely be hearing more about her in years to come.
Dylan Hunt Dylan Hunt 5'9" | OH Pickerington North | 2025 State OH – Mintonette Sports m.51
A right side hitter that can get up and over the net for a block, land and release for a quick attack. She’s a positive player on this stacked team and knows how to keep the energy on her side of the court. She has improved consistently throughout the season and we can expect big things coming from her during school season.
Ella Jackson Ella Jackson 5'7" | S Gilmour Academy | 2025 State OH – ECJ 15-1
A setter that has great placement of the ball, giving her hitters great opportunities to score. She is calm on the court and a very smart player, knowing just where to set the ball to get the best matchups. She is a big impact player for this ECJ team and will be someone to keep our eye on.
Zari Gillispie – OPVC Wagner
A middle with some speed and great footwork at the net. She has a high ceiling and is able to get up to take a big swing. She is fast to the pins and is able to get her hands on the ball to help her team win big momentum points.
Livia Mahoney Livia Mahoney 5'2" | DS/L MND | 2025 State OH – Elevation 15 Crofton
A quick and energetic libero who can get to the ball and pass dimes, keeping her team in system consistently. She is great on coverage and is not afraid to go to the floor to pass a ball. She plays with energy and is fun to watch, can’t wait to see how her high school season plays out.
Katie Gielas Katie Gielas 6'2" | OH Ursuline | 2025 State #120 Nation OH – Elevation 15 Crofton
An outside for Elevation that puts in the work. She is focused and places smart shots at crucial times during the matches. She knows when to tip and when to swing away making her a key player and a big reason this team has done so well. She does her job and is a great teammate.
