These jumps were based on their play during the spring/summer club season. One thing in common with most of these players: their team found success at nationals. Let’s take a look and see who’s played catapulted them up the rankings.
11. Reagan Baade Reagan Baade 5'8" | OH Ozark | 2024 State MO – OH – Ozark/417 Juniors
Baade is a player we loved watching this spring for 417. She is a true six rotation pin who excels in the passing game. She may be considered a little undersized on the pin but her grit and competitiveness allow her to score at a consistent rate.
18. Hannah Vogt Hannah Vogt 5'7" | S Jefferson City | 2024 State MO – S – Jefferson City/Missouri Juniors
Vogt had a really good spring building on a solid fall where she tallied over 500 assists. She is poised from the setter position and has ideal decision making which allows her hitters to be successful. She is also a quality defender and when necessary can swing from the pin.
20. Bailey Braun Bailey Braun 5'10" | OH Blair Oaks | 2024 State MO – OH – Blair Oaks/Missouri Juniors
We paid more attention to Braun after last year’s magical run for Blair Oaks. She didn’t disappoint this spring for Missouri Juniors filling up the stat sheet with sets from the above-mentioned Vogt. Look for her to take even greater strides this fall.
25. Abygail Widhalm Abygail Widhalm 5'10" | OH Pleasant Hill | 2024 State MO – OH – Pleasant Hill/Invasion
Widhalm jumped on our radar this spring after watching Invasion in some qualifier tournaments. Her play continued to blossom as she made the all-tournament team in the Liberty Division at Junior Nationals. She is another player we will take more interest in entering the high school season.
30. Miliana Sylvester Miliana Sylvester 6'2" | MB Central | 2024 State MO – MB – Central/417 Juniors
The agile middle was very impressive this summer helping her 417 team accomplish big things at nationals. We love her confidence on the court and she will continue to improve in a couple of areas. She can make an even bigger jump with a solid fall.
34. Collette Buschhorn Collette Buschhorn 5'8" | S Central | 2024 State MO – S – Central/417 Juniors
Buschhorn was an important feature in the 417 offense and a joy to watch this spring. She was cool and collect at Girls Juniors with her consistent sets. We look forward to watching the connection this fall with Sylvester for a rising Central team.
