<p>Part three of our 11-part series talks about two teams filled with athletes from the class of '26. Here they are, in no particular order.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[program_tooltip program_id='430155' first='Team' last='Pineapple'] 15 Black LJ, 15 Open</h2>   <p>This roster is so talented top to bottom. As the lone Hoosier Region representative in 15 Open, they've definitely earned this spot and have played a tough enough schedule to be well-prepared for Chicago. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='300206' first='Sophia' last='Gisslen'] ('26, 5-9 S, Carroll)</strong> runs this offense to perfection, and makes every pass (good and bad) better for her hitters. Making the setting position look easy as a freshman should serve her well as she matures. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='226809' first='MaryKate' last='Scheumann'] ('26, 5-10 OH, Bellmont)</strong> is a multi sport stud that excels in showing strength and stamina. In other words, she's relentless. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='300208' first='Bailey' last='Rasawehr'] ('26. 6-2 RS, Homestead)</strong> takes advantage of her size with a high-and-hard swing coupled with her blocking technique. She's hard to beat, on either offense or defense.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Circle City 15 Purple, 15 National</h2>   <p>Earning the bid to Chicago through the Hoosier Regional, this squad has a bunch of talent as well, albeit a little shorter. Just like their [program_tooltip program_id='430155' first='Team' last='Pineapple'] counterparts, Circle's 15-1 performs at a high level because of their setter, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='300078' first='Addison' last='Haberthy'] ('26, 5-10 S, Roncalli).</strong> She's silky smooth with her hands, can go over on two effectively, and gets a bunch of tightly passed balls because of her length and strength. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='221478' first='Josie' last='Imes'] ('26, 5-10 OH, Zionsville)</strong> is a primary passing, six rotation outside that has a strong and consistent swing path that looks easily repeatable. I like her footwork as well; she always seems to be positioned perfectly to play the ball. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='400748' first='Adeline' last='Moeller'] ('26, 5-6 DS/L, Brebeuf) </strong>is a defender cut from the same cloth as so many other high-level defenders from Brebeuf. Great in anticipation and light on her feet, Adeline can play any of the three back row positions.</p>
