Sadie Poeck Sadie Poeck 6'0" | OH Zionsville | 2025 State IN , 6-0 OH, Zionsville, Circle City 16 Black, 16 USA
One of a pair of high-flyers on Circle’s 16-2 roster, Sadie is a long and lean outside that can hit every angle and attacks at a higher-than-average attack point. Her ability to terminate regularly makes defending her difficult, and she’s slowly learning all parts of her game to make her more marketable.
Elena Chappell Elena Chappell 6'0" | MB Zionsville | 2025 State IN , 6-0 MB, Zionsville, Circle City 16 Black, 16 USA
Slowly inching her way to that ten foot attack touch mark, Elena is a bonafide M2 that has the potential to be the top middle at Zionsville in this, or any, class. I like her ability to defend from pin to pin, and she wastes no steps in either her net defense or her transition.
Anne Marie Wadle Anne Marie Wadle 6'0" | MB Marquette Catholic | 2025 State IN , 6-1 MB, Marquette Catholic, Dunes 16 Black, 16 USA
Playing taller than her 6-1 frame would suggest, Miss Wadle is a defensive M2 that uses her length to her advantage. She’s gaining upper-body strength with each passing tournament, and her size alone should turn heads in Chicago this weekend.
Haley Sollenberger Haley Sollenberger 6'1" | MB Brownsburg | 2025 State IN , 6-1 MB, Brownsburg, Circle City 16 White, 16 American
The second of two Sollenbergers at Circle, Haley is cut from the same cloth as her older sister, Abby (she plays for 18 Black). Big, strong and with a high volleyball IQ, Haley has the potential to take over a match on those skills alone. Her attack touch is also closing in on ten feet.
Elle Odom Elle Odom 5'11" | RS Hamilton Southeastern | 2025 State IN , 5-11 RS, Hamilton Southeastern, Rev 16-2 Swarm, 16 American
Elle fits the mold of what Royals look like at HSE. She’s a left-handed big that takes up more space on the block than your average 5-11 right side should, and terminates both out-of-system and in-system balls at a similar rate. I’d like to see a faster arm swing, but for now, she uses her shoulder strength to her advantage.
