With the Top 250 Expo in Indiana this weekend, it was plenty of talent all under the same roof.  I watched every court and picked some of my favorite 2025 middles to discuss below. Let's get started!

Chappell is a middle hitter from Zionsville High School who at 6' has a great reach, great slide, and a huge vertical. She was so powerful and very impressive at the Expo.

Dunkle attends Center Grove and is a middle blocker. She is 6'3" and an exceptional athlete. She has a very long reach, hands everywhere, a nightmare to hit against, and hard to defend against.

McCollum attends Avon High School. She caught my attention with an overpass kill, and a weird save, and then just looked great while hitting and blocking. A true joy to behold!

Claire Sabo Claire Sabo 5'11" | MB Brebeuf Jesuit Preparatory | 2025 State IN (2025, MH)

Sabo is from Brebeuf Jesuit High School. She plays a strong middle with a beautiful swing and block. She is very opportunistic when looking to take her opponents down. She is a very efficient and effective athlete.

Terpening is from Westfield High School. She loves an overpass and I did not see her miss one at the Expo. She also digs with the best of them and can easily hit through a solid block from the opposing team. She also has a fondness for no-mans-land dinks to the center of the court.

Zapp attends Center Grove High School. She is a 6' middle blocker and a very solid athlete. I noticed her for her game-changing blocking and consistent play at the net all day long.

Zarse is from Tri-County High School and is a great student as well as an athlete. She has great hops, is a great hitter, has long arms, and a great reach. Her reach makes her opponents go out of bounds trying to avoid her block. Very impressive!
