<p>The last three parts of this seven part series will touch on the 15 Open division, which looks to be the most wide-open of all of the divisions next weekend. Here are two teams with five players that will make an impact for their squads moving forward.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[program_tooltip program_id='430155' first='Team' last='Pineapple'] 15 Black LJ</h2>   <p>Of all of the teams in this tournament, none will be bigger or have more skill at every position than the ladies on TP's 15-1s. We start with <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='300208' first='Bailey' last='Rasawehr'] ('26, 6-2 RS, Homestead),</strong> who is one of <em>many</em> over-six-footers from Homestead that excel at volleyball. She's tough to beat on the block and makes some blocks irrelevant when she attacks. <strong>MaryKate Schumann ('26, 5-9 OH, Bellmont)</strong> is already a part of a high-level high school program, and is the primary passing outside most schools will be looking for in the fall of '26. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='300206' first='Sophia' last='Gisslen'] ('26, 5-9 S, Carroll)</strong> is the glue that keeps this roster together, and is already running a fast and efficient offense at this age.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Grand Park 151E Fang</h2>   <p>Although smaller in stature than the [program_tooltip program_id='430155' first='Team' last='Pineapple'] roster listed above, this squad has talent to burn. A pair of Millers from Noblesville might have the most impact on offense. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='385194' first='Ella' last='Coppock'] ('26, 5-10 MB/OH, Noblesville)</strong> has the size to compete with the bigger teams, while using her speed and athleticism to beat the rest. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='385195' first='Lydia' last='Sulfridge'] ('26, 5-7 OH, Noblesville)</strong> might be a bit undersized for future primary passing duties, she's an excellent option to do just that and never come out of the game. Projections have her being a DS at the next level, but she's got some attacking talent that might work for smaller schools in the fall of '26.</p>
