[player_tooltip player_id='168036' first='Katherine' last='St. John'] – 2025 – 6'1” – Outside – Jackson   Big and strong, physical outside for the Indians leads the team in kills with 116 and gives them a terminator on the left pin. Posses an excellent jump float and will be a highly recruited player from Jackson.   [player_tooltip player_id='207286' first='Hannah' last='Whatley-Blaine'] – 2024 – 5'8” – Outside - Nerinx Hall   The six rotation outside for the Markers currently leads the team in kills with 107. A quick arm swing vertical makes Hannah a go-to player for Nerinx Hall.   [player_tooltip player_id='169896' first='Ellie' last='Witthaus'] – 2025 – 5'8” – Outside – Incarnate Word   Witthaus is another promising young player for the Red Knights on the outside. A six-rotation left pin gives the Red Knights a powerful outside.   Margaret Mallow – 2023 – 5'9” – Outside - Kirkwood   A great approach is a key to her success on the pin for the Pioneers. Mallow gives Kirkwood a solid outlet on the outside, leads her team with 103 kills, and is the primary passer and a top defender with 94 digs.   [player_tooltip player_id='124223' first='Laila' last='Person'] – 2024 – 5'9” – Opposite – Kirkwood   I enjoy watching this opposite play because of her ability to constantly rip the ball line until the defense adjusts and then use her soft touch to place the ball right over the blockers and in front of the defense.   [player_tooltip player_id='168920' first='Jelena' last='Gray'] – 2023 – 5'9” – Outside – Farmington   A six rotation outside for the Black Knights leads the team with 243 kills hitting .366, and 180 digs. A smart outside with a quick arm swing and a fantastic roll shot.
