[player_tooltip player_id='173620' first='Cece' last='Jilek'], OH Portage Central/FaR Out</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jilek made a big jump into our top 50 in her debut. Jilek is a very solid finisher that can play all over the court. She's establishing herself as a go-to player early in the 2022 prep season after really improving her all-around skills this past club season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>56. [player_tooltip player_id='152529' first='Payton' last='Rice'], OH Harper Creek</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Rice has been too productive to be ignored. An All-State player in 2021, Rice is ready to make Harper Creek a contender in Division 1 for the 2022 season. She's an explosive player that finds openings across the net. Rice plays with a lot of determination and competitiveness. She's not going to let anyone keep her down.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>61. [player_tooltip player_id='173622' first='Alli' last='Pickard'], L/DS Lakewood</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Part of an already impressive backcourt, Pickard is a standout defender for the Vikings that also brings one of the best serves in Division 2 to the floor. Pickard is a great passer and very quick on her feet. Her serve comes with a lot of velocity while providing a challenging trajectory for his opponents.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>79. [player_tooltip player_id='173619' first='Maddie' last='Fortune'], L/DS Caledonia/FaR Out</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Fortune is another steady defender in the class that plays with a lot of poise in the back row. Caledonia has been able to rely on Fortune as the rock in the back row. She's got the skills to play other positions, but is an agile and quick-reaction player that excels defensively.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Other New Additions: </strong>84.
