Michigan Top 250 Expo: 2026 Attendees

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As the 2022 prep season has finished up, now is a big opportunity for the Class of 2026 to start making a name for itself.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The freshmen class in Michigan has a lot of promise and many of the promising talents will be on display during the Michigan Top 250 Expo this Saturday in Pontiac.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here's some of the notable players that will be taking part.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='226878' first='Paige' last='Bierlein'], OH/MH Brighton/L2</strong>: Bierlein saw some action for the Bulldogs varsity squad during the regular season and got some very helpful experience against tough opponents. She did a nice job of finishing her opportunities and has a high ceiling in the years to come.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='226885' first='Allie' last='Davison'], S/RS Marian/Michigan Elite</strong>: Davison got some selected play for the Division 1 state champs this fall as a setter in training. She recorded 81 assists over 26 sets of action and also provided 24 digs. Davison got a lot of teachable moments during the fall season. It will be interesting to see how she applies it this winter and spring.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='226888' first='Aubree' last='Deshetsky'], OH/S North Branch/Legacy: </strong>You'd be hard pressed to find a freshman that made more noise during the 2022 prep season than Deshetsky. She fit right in nicely with the North Branch offense and helped the Broncos win the D2 state title. In her first year, she put up 281 kills, 352 digs, 69 aces and 52 blocks.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='226904' first='Emma' last='Keeping'], S/RS Imlay City/Michigan Elite</strong>: Keeping is a smooth setter that also has a lot of skills when she gets the opportunity to swing at the net. She's part of a young core at Imlay City that should have a lot of confidence coming into this expo.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='226909' first='Kayla' last='Nwabueze'], MH/DS Bloomfield Hills/Legacy</strong>: Nwabueze didn't back down from taking on a major role with Bloomfield Hills this season. She was the team's all-around leader with 412 kills, 155 blocks, 234 digs and 45 aces. Going up against a talent-heavy schedule of opponents, Nwabueze is already a battle-tested hitter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='226935' first='Lucy' last='Stoll'], S/DS South Lyon/Michigan Elite</strong>: Stoll saw action for South Lyon's varsity squad this season and held her own against some imposing defensive talent. Stoll gets herself into good position and reads the court very well for a freshman.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2><strong>Other 2026 attendees</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='261140' first='Ella' last='Azbell'], OH/RS Holly/High Performance</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='226877' first='Olivia' last='Beaudrie'], DS/L/OH SMCC/Michigan Elite</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='261135' first='Clare' last='Beazley'], MH/OH Saline/HVVC</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='240701' first='Giselle' last='Burlingame'], DS/L Northville/L2</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='261181' first='Laurin' last='Edwards'], MH Cass Tech/Michigan Elite</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='226895' first='Jillian' last='Ferrill'], OH/S Lake Fenton/High Performance</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='261147' first='Emma' last='Flick'], DS/L TC West/NorthShore</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='226897' first='Charlotte' last='Gramzow'], DS/OH Lutheran High/Michigan Elite</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='261153' first='Grace' last='Hannosh'], DS/L Marian/Michigan Elite</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='261194' first='Marleigh' last='Hemstreet'], S/DS Linden/High Performance</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='226906' first='Reagan' last='Lesley'], MH/OH Chippewa Valley/Michigan Elite</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='261202' first='Peyton' last='Lowes'], S/RS Northville/Legacy</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='261208' first='Skylar' last='Marteen'], OH/RS Northville/L2</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='261186' first='Maddie' last='Mccarroll'], OH/DS Brighton/L2</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='261175' first='Kendal' last='Quain'], S/RS Marysville/Team 27</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='261172' first='Kailyn' last='Schlepp'], DS/L/MH Spring Lake/Inside Out</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='261214' first='Trinity' last='Thweni'], DS/L Marian/Michigan Elite</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='261179' first='Kiley' last='Urbanski'], OH/RS, SMCC/Michigan Elite</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='261189' first='Madolyne' last='Winowski'], S/RS Oxford/Michigan Elite</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='261165' first='Jolie' last='Yaldoo'], DS/L/MH Marian/Michigan Elite</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='261191' first='Makayla' last='Yaldo'], OH/DS St. Catherine/Michigan Elite [player_tooltip player_id='226945' first='Jayla' last='Zayti'], MB/OH Marian/Michigan Elite</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
