<p>Here's a look at what the 2025 Watch List players are doing, with a look at the large group of Ks today.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='288955' first='Mya' last='Kattula'], RS/S Notre Dame Prep/Unified</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Kattula is the next great multi-position talent to come from the Notre Dame Prep program. Kattula is able to do it all on the court. She's quick, athletic and has a great court IQ. Kattula easily adapts to the ball and how the play is developing. She's got good instincts on when to play offspeed shots and her hitting ability allows her to be a stronger setter.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='288956' first='Sophia' last='Kellogg'], OH Plymouth Christian/Michigan Elite</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Kellogg is a well-coached player that isn't lacking in confidence or composure. She's got a lot of power at the net, but has developed a lot of different shot speeds and angles. Kellogg lets the game come to her and doesn't try to overpower every ball that comes her way.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='200397' first='Dylann' last='Kelly'], MB Jenison/FaR Out</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Kelly is a 6'1” middle that can also play on the right side. She can be very imposing at the net, but when she mixes in her ability to move around the floor, Kelly becomes a real handful for opponents. It doesn't take much wind up for Kelly to generate a lot of power on her attacks. She's also a big blocking force.</p>

<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='156310' first='Kylie' last='Kennedy'], DS/L Lakeland/L2</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Kennedy definitely plays with the attitude of a libero. She's very scrappy and willing to take whatever punishment is needed to make a play. Kennedy is quick and has all the determination to succeed at any level. Her passing has improved month after month and her serving has been consistently challenging. Kennedy's energy level and drive serves as a motivation to all her teammates.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='288957' first='Layla' last='Kouatli'], MB Greenhills/Legacy</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Kouatli stands 5'11”, but plays bigger on the court. She reads opposing blockers very well and is able to adjust her shot to change her angles quickly. Her highlight tape is full of easy put downs as she completely fools the defense. Speaking of defense, Kouatli stays very active with her blocking and is light off her feet.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='156311' first='Piper' last='Kozuch'], OH Morley Stanwood/Inside Out</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Kozuch is a mobile player that brings a strong defensive game to the outside hitter position. Kozuch covers a lot of space on the court and has quick reaction time to come through with a tough dig. Her quickness and fast feet also allow her to finish points in a variety of ways from the front or back row.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='156312' first='Keira' last='Krans'], S Heritage/Five:1</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Krans has been giving an opportunity to run a varsity offense and it's paid off in terms of comfortability on the floor. Krans reads the play very well and it leads to her finding a home for some points on her own. She's got a good feel for finding the hot hitter, and also has sparked some offensive runs for her team with her serving ability.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='288958' first='Madelyn' last='Krappmann'], OH Everest Collegiate/Unified</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Krappmann brings a lot of athleticism to Division 4 and it shows in her consistent ability to deliver a thunderous kill. Krappmann has a big jump off the floor and her arm swing is very smooth, but generates plenty of power. She also moves very smooth defensively and isn't afraid to take over a match.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='288959' first='Alyssa' last='Krol'], DS/L Cedar Springs/FaR Out</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Krol is also can set, along with being a defender. Both positions have allowed her to develop into a vocal leader on the floor. Krol is all over the floor. Just when you think a point is finished, she finds a way to come up with a dig at the last moment. She's got her positioning and instincts down.</p>
