<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='152145' first='Nevaeh' last='Malawey'] - 5'9" - Rightside – Winona</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A strong lefty hits all positions along the net but is strongest on the right pin. She provides a solid block and hits a line shot that could hurt a left-back defender. She will look to get Winona a return trip to the state playoffs.</p>

<p><strong>Bailee Luttrell - 5'9" - Middle - Winona</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Luttrell gives the Wildcats another offensive weapon out of the middle and should have another solid season. A quick first step helps Bailee close to the pins and runs a quick offense from the middle and will be a big factor in getting Winona a repeat state playoff appearance.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='168921' first='Piper' last='Fitzgerald'] - 5'7" – Outside - Lesterville</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A high volleyball IQ makes Fitzgerald a dangerous attacker from all over the court. She has a great jump float, is a primary passer, and is a tremendous defender for the Bearcats.</p>

<p><strong>Ella Morton – 5'8"- Middle - Ellington</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Morton is an undersized middle but makes up for it with a great vertical and terrific arm swing. After finishing fourth in kills on the team last year, Morton will have a much more significant role to fill offensively and the leader of a young squad. Look for Ella to double her kill total this year.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='170397' first='Grace' last='Duncan'] – 5'10" – Outside - Farmington</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Duncan is another solid attacker for the Knight's offense with a mean arm swing and a gritty player. The six rotation outside provides Farmington with another tough defender, passer, and a solid outlet on the outside.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='168914' first='Maddie' last='Ayers'] – 5'8" – Outside – South Iron</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Ayers is a primary passer and the leading attacker for the Class 1 4<sup>th</sup> place finisher. She hits everywhere on the court, has a high volleyball IQ, and is just an athlete. This year she will be instrumental in South Iron making a state title run.</p>
