Ava Hunter Ava Hunter 5'11" | S Hamilton Southeastern | 2025 State IN , 5-10 S, Hamilton Southeastern, Munciana
As one of the two setters in HSE’s run to a state title last fall, Ava has gone from a kid “just out there having fun” to a focused athlete that can run a 5-1 on her own. Her high level of development and training is proof that Miss Hunter has grown up a ton in the last two years.
Avery Freeman Avery Freeman 5'4" | DS/L Bloomington North | 2025 State #68 Nation IN , 5-2 DS/L, Bloomington North, Circle City
Two years ago, Avery didn’t exist to me. Last year, she was a pleasant surprise as “the little engine that could”. Now, she headlines a phenomenal 16-1 squad and is relentless in doing so. She directs the floor naturally and is always in the right spot at the right time. With feet constantly going and a quiet upper body, Avery gets to a ton of balls and makes her teammates better with her presence.
Ava Kopf Ava Kopf 5'5" | DS/L Silver Creek | 2025 State IN , 5-5 DS/L, Silver Creek, Union
New to me, but not to Southern Indiana, Ava is a bigger version of Avery listed above. With her high level of training at Union and consistently winning in high school (five straight sectional titles), her rise has earned her a spot on a top team in a program known for how they train their ball control. That should be proof positive of Ava’s improvement and dedication to her craft.
Maggie Hollon Maggie Hollon 5'10" | OH Warsaw | 2025 State IN , 5-10 OH, Warsaw, Empowered
With the ability to hit high and hard from anywhere, Maggie’s rise comes with the consistent work ethic that defines athletes from Empowered. I got a chance to see her do work at Bluegrass two weekends ago, and it was hard to recognize a kid I had just seen play in the fall. She has a repeatable arm swing, a strong approach and a winning attitude.
Chloe Edwards Chloe Edwards 5'11" | OH Jasper | 2025 State IN , 5-11 OH, Jasper, Metro
Already an athletic attacker, Chloe has added the ability to play defense, a huge attribute that gained our attention this spring. She can play either pin, yet another reason to pay more attention to her improvement. With a few hundred kills already under her belt at the varsity level, I’m looking forward to her continued improvement.
