New Additions to the 2023 Rankings

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The rankings update for 2023 includes an incredible amount of new faces. It's fun to see who has emerged since rankings for this class were last posted over 2 years ago. Small schools provided great and unexpected platers, and some of the traditional powers had underclassmen who were just waiting their turn to shine. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The top ten of each position group will be broken down in the next few days, followed by rankings and breakdowns for the next three classes in the state. Here are some players just outside of the top ten that played their way onto this final ranking for the class of 2023.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["97299"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Dowell has been a super steady performer for Mt.

Kinloch will be taking big swings for Northwest Nazarene in the GNAC, while Webb stays closer to home at Central. Having played some middle in prior years, Kinloch's passing and defense have now secured her a spot as an outside. She still brings that hard-working middle mentality to the pin position.rnrnu003ca href=u0022https://youtu.be/XCCCqfA9WnEu0022u003ehttps://youtu.be/XCCCqfA9WnEu003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["253200"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Moeva is a strong blocking middle who has just kept improving at Auburn Riverside.

A lefty setter and opposite, she should always be allowed to attack from the right side or in a 5-1. Her arm is whippy and she puts down kills at a high rate when she is going well. There is too much firepower there to just work as a back-row setter.
