We know Emerald City Classic was almost two months ago but better late than never, right?

Below are the six standout setters that made it on the 16U Open All-Star Team from the Emerald City Classic.   <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pd/uploads/2022/08/lili-etter-setting-edited-scaled.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-220656" width="252"/><figcaption>Pictured: [player_tooltip player_id='220578' first='Lilli' last='Etter'] setting, Photo: Jenn Bowers</figcaption></figure>   [player_tooltip player_id='126173' first='Hannah' last='Brown'] l Athena 16 Gold l 2024 l 5'8” l S l Sherwood High School   <a href="https://www.ncsasports.org/womens-volleyball-recruiting/oregon/sherwood/sherwood-high-school4/hannah-brown217">[ Link to recruiting profile ]</a>   Brown ran a combination of one- and two-setter systems for the Athena 16 Gold team, sharing duties with 2025 [player_tooltip player_id='161157' first='Mia' last='Hunt'].
