Perryville Tournament – Setters to Watch

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='230387' first='Isabel' last='Brown'] – 5'7" – 2025 – Saxony Lutheran</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Part of a young but tough team for the Crusaders, Brown leads the team in the 6-2 offense with 233 assists and adds 128 digs. Big a time player in the Dig for Life Tournament championship as she would get her big middle one-on-one way too often for the opposition to stop Saxony.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='230386' first='Landre' last='Hoehne'] – 5'7" – 2024 – Saxony Lutheran</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The other part of the 6-2 offense currently has 161 assists and a match-high of 23 in a 2-3 loss to Ste. Genevieve. Landre has targets all across the net to choose from and, more times than not, gives her hitters the advantage.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='170040' first='PJ' last='Reutzel'] – 5'9” – 2025 – Fredericktown</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>You can watch some players and see they have tremendous athleticism, and PJ is one of those players. She leads her team in digs and kills and is 2nd in assists. She would be a highly sought-after setter if she weren't relied on to hit. Her hands, toughness, and volleyball IQ would make her a top-level college setter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='170032' first='Ava' last='Penuel'] – 5'7" – 2024 – Fredericktown</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The partner with PJ running a 6-2 is the team assist leader, which might be because she's setting to the team kill leader. Ava is 3^rd on the team in kills with 95 and 2^nd in digs with 97. Together these two make an excellent combo for the Black Cats.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='230385' first='Kyndall' last='Hitt'] – 5'5” – 2026 – Advance</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hitt has helped Advance in a big way this year because the setter lost to graduation was one of the best in school history. With her speed and soft touch, she currently leads the team with 191 assists and teams up with the team's kill leader to run a 6-2 for the Hornets.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
