Samantha Adams Samantha Adams 6'1" | MB Carmel | 2026 State IN , 6-1 MB, Carmel, Academy
Size? Check. Athleticism? Check. Length? Check and check. Miss Adams has all of the tools to be an M2 at the next level. She excels off of two feet, makes attacking against her difficult and can defend from pin to pin.
Ava Mcnair Ava Mcnair 5'11" | OH Evansville Harrison | 2026 State IN , 5-10 MB, Evansville Harrison, Metro
Quick and springy, Ava will most likely move to a pin for her collegiate career. For now, however, no other kid on Metro’s top 15s team can move with athletic purpose and skill like Miss McNair. She uses every last inch of her legs to transition from both pin to pin on defense and away from the net on offense. She beats a lot of blocks with her speed—something that will come handy as she gets older.
Bailey Rasawehr Bailey Rasawehr 6'2" | RS Homestead | 2026 State IN , 6-2 RS, Homestead, Team Pineapple
There seem to be a ton of big, strong and athletic kids in Homestead’s program. Bailey adds to that already daunting list that will give other 4A schools fits in a year or two. Big isn’t the right word, though—she’s broad-shouldered, which makes her tough to beat on the block and is smart and strong enough to beat blocks (or go over them) on offense.
Ellie Scharlow Ellie Scharlow 5'11" | OH New Albany | 2026 State IN , 5-11 OH, New Albany, Union
From a high school program not normally known for their volleyball, Ellie is a pleasant surprise as a primary-passing outside who can put balls away from either pin. Her freshman campaign had her starting on varsity, averaging three kills per set while hitting over .200. Not bad for a rookie.
Audrey Bassett Audrey Bassett 5'10" | OH Westfield | 2026 State IN , 5-9 OH, Westfield, Team Indiana
A spitfire of an outside, Audrey hammers high and hard ALL. THE. TIME. I love the energy and athleticism that this kid brings, as she gets everything out of her 5-9 frame. Front row or back row, this is a kid that can do anything as a left side, and should never come out of the game for any reason.
