<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>When all is said and done, this class may be able to go down as one of the greatest the state has seen.</p>

<p>Here's a look at what the 2025 Watch List players are doing, moving on to D-G.</p>

<h2><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='222957' first='Breanna' last='David'], OH/RS/S Bay City Western/Five:1</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>David has been an impactful player in nearly every aspect of the game. She has been an effective and efficient hitter on the outside or right side. David has a quick wind up and generates a lot of power on her attacks. She's also a slick defender that reacts quickly in the back row. David also has the ability to play setter and run a very smooth and up tempo offense.</p>

<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='288949' first='Isabelle' last='Earley'], MB Novi/Legacy</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Earley is a 6'1” middle that has a lot of power off the floor. She is an intimidating presence in the middle of the floor because she is active and can play above the net offensively and defensively. Earley has been consistent with her swing and production and is working on dialing up her arm speed and intensity.</p>

<h2><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='156294' first='Emily' last='Edwards'], OH Rochester Adams/Legacy</strong></h2>

<p>Edwards is another player that can help out anywhere on the floor. She's got a great defensive base and has been very consistent with her attacks. Edwards covers a lot of space very quickly, so she's able to generate a lot of forward momentum at the net. Edwards can power through a block, but also recognizes when to go with an offspeed attack.</p>

<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='156296' first='Elliana' last='Foley'], S Coldwater</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Foley is a multi-sport athlete which means she has good footwork on the volleyball court. She saw some time with the Coldwater varsity this fall and used her quickness and ability to shift on a dime to get good positioning for her sets. Foley also has the ability to take the game into her own hands as well and finish at a high rate.</p>

<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='156297' first='Ava' last='Freeman'], OH Mt. Morris/Michigan Elite</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Freeman was a picture of consistency for Mt. Morris while helping lead it to a D2 quarterfinal. Freeman reads opposing blockers pretty well and is able to find the openings at the net. She attacks a variety of angles and produces good out-of-system attacks.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='261215' first='Zoe' last='Goodwin'], DS/L Dakota/Michigan Elite</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Goodwin shows good composure in the back row. Attacks and serves that come her way, she always looks to be in control and uses whatever arm angle she needs to get the ball to her setter. Goodwin handles a lot of ground in the back row and stays ahead of the play to be in good placement to make a dig.</p>

<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='172195' first='Kacee' last='Gray'], OH Cass City/Fusion</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Gray was a big part of the Cass City offense this past fall, helping it get to the Division 3 semifinals. She was a powerful finisher during the prep season and is now building on that during the club season. Gray is able to make the most out of each ball that comes her way. She handles out-of-system balls very well and has a great mixture of swings and shot locations.</p>
