2024 Prospects Making Waves at State

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The juniors were well represented at the WIAA State Championships in Washington, once players become upperclassmen it's imperative to lead the team. This group is not only talented but extremely important pieces in the communication and leadership roles for their squads. As we get closer to the first ratings for the class of 2024, keep an eye out for where these players land. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='221031' first='Halle' last='Reiter']| Camas | 2024 | Libero | OJVA</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Reiter proved to be one of the top liberos on both weekends of the state tournament and improved over the year before when she had an excellent run. Against Puyallup, she covered her hitters versus the big Viking block and used her speed to get to tough second balls and give the Papermakers a chance in transition. Expect her to be back with the rest of her Cams team next season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='252593' first='Jillian' last='Davis']| Mt. Spokane | 2024 | Outside | Renovators</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Davis has had tremendous growth as an attacker and overall player this school season. Mt. Spokane had to rely on her as a steady point-scoring option all year, and some of her best shotmaking came at the state tournament. The hard-line has always been her preferred shot, but she showed an accurate push to the corner, good angle work, and a soft tip straight down the outsides blocker's back. Davis's defensive energy was cranked up, she made several sprawling digs for the Wildcats, saving crucial points. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='252595' first='Lainey' last='Kimball']| Nooksack Valley | 2024 | Outside |</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The whole Nooksack Valley team is athletic and competitive, and Kimball personifies their never quit attitude. She posted big numbers, in the trophy game she went off with a double-double, 18 kills and 20 digs. It was a clutch performance in a big spot, and she used her good hops and power to slam shots off of blocks,</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='252594' first='Ali' last='Millspaugh']| Mark Morris| 2024| Middle| Aspire NW</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Millspaugh is a very smart and dynamic scoring middle. Mark Morris will bring her swooping in from the back row and set her accurately on a 3 to let her move the ball around the block. She showed a sweeping tip, a soft tip to the "4" and the hammer when she had the chance. Her accuracy was impressive, she landed several shots just inside/on the line at 10 feet, making it very tough on the defenders. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="http://www.hudl.com/v/2JqPgv">http://www.hudl.com/v/2JqPgv</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='252567' first='Ashley' last='Shumate']| Lynden| 2024| Outside| SIVA</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Biola commit was hard to handle for Lion's opponents. She has a heavy swing, and Lynden is smart in moving her around so it's not always just used at the pin. Bringing her down the middle to get a 1-1 opportunity was particularly effective. Lynden brought home the 5th place trophy, and the combination of Shumate and outstanding setter<strong> [player_tooltip player_id='251586' first='Grace' last='Rice']</strong> will be back for more next season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Rankings for Washington State will be coming this December! 2023, 2024, 2025, and yes, 2026 are set to be released this month.
