Josie Hubbard - 2023 | Perrysburg Perrysburg ended Highland's impressive postseason run with a 3-0 sweep. Hubbard was dominant as she terminated 58% of her attempts to earn a team high 14 kills on a .458 efficiency. The senior left side hitter plays with a lot of energy and brings a very aggressive style to her approach work. She had some big moments in their victory that helped to ignite her team and their fans as she found ways to score with her range and power as well as in pulling the strings to drop some off speed placement to the floor that found Highland's defense on their heels. She also added nine digs.   [player_tooltip player_id='114595' first='Julia' last='Sprecher'] - 2024 | Magnificat Sprecher was a big factor in Magnificat's 3-1 win over a very good Jackson team. With 16 total kills, she was above her season average of 3.6 k/s while hitting at a solid efficiency of .464. She has great explosiveness and elevation off the floor on the let pin and showcased a range of point scoring with her arm over Jackson. She terminated with touch and finesse, out of system, through quicker tempos to the pin, and out of the back row. Sprecher can bring the range and heat and when in system and with some space, she is very dangerous.   [player_tooltip player_id='169507' first='Abbey' last='Queen'] - 2023 | Oletangy Liberty The Patriots' season came to an end in a 3-1 loss to Bishop Watterson. Queen gave a valiant effort on the defensive side as the senior libero picked up a career high 38 digs to close out her high school career. At 5'2, she has good balance and preparation and utilizes her quickness well to pursue the ball. Another milestone in her final match is that she also closed out her career surpassing the 1,000 digs mark and a career average of 5.4 digs per set.   [player_tooltip player_id='141694' first='Lauren' last='Yacobucci'] - 2023 | Magnificat At 10 assists per set, Yacobucci dished out 40 assists to lead Magnificat's offense, which included a .343 team efficiency.

The four-year varsity athlete has over 2,600 career assists and a 9.3 assists per set average, which includes a career high output for a season in 2022.
