With one of the most fun events in the year going on this weekend with the Motor City Madness tournament going on in Southeast Michigan, we’ve decided to double the fun with showcase! We got some great, young talent on tap for Friday night and we’re here to preview some you need to know!
Let’s take a look at the field of middle blockers coming out to the Motor City Madness showcase!
Emma Underwood Emma Underwood 6'0" | MB Kalamazoo Christian | 2025 State MI – 6’0 MB – Kalamazoo Christian/USA Michigan
This player can get it done anywhere across the net but her bread and butter belongs in the middle. She’s a good sized blocker with a lot of range in her attacking.
Monique Diehl Monique Diehl 6'2" | MB Grass Lake | 2024 State MI – 6’0 MB – Grass Lake/Michigan Elite
Not only can this middle stand pretty tall amongst the best of blockers, but she can hold her own on the attacking front as well. Diehl has a great vision for the open court and can score at a high rate.
Maezi Snyder Maezi Snyder 6'2" | MB McCutcheon | 2026 State IN – 6’2 MB – McCutcheon/Academy
I could see this player becoming a big commodity over the next few years. Snyder may be young, but brings a lot of size to the court that takes her a long way.
Clare Beazley Clare Beazley 6'0" | MB Saline | 2026 State MI – 5’11 MB – Saline/HVVC
Another young pup in the middle that has been seeing a steady stock rise is Clare Beazley Clare Beazley 6'0" | MB Saline | 2026 State MI . A standout for Saline JV, she’s also been carrying a heavy load for her team at Huron Valley.
Kate Schneider Kate Schneider 6'1" | MB L'Anse Creuse North | 2025 State MI – 6’0 MB – L’Anse Creuse/Crank It
I am excited to see this middle live and in action. On tape, she shows a lot of promise from an attacking stand point and her size gives her a lot of upside as a blocker as well!
