Boiler Juniors 171E Gold, 17 Open
The embarrassment of riches is real on this roster. We start with Allie Shondell Allie Shondell 5'9" | S McCutcheon | 2024 State #78 Nation IN (’24, 5-10 S, Purdue commit) and Sienna Foster Sienna Foster 5'9" | OH Benton Central | 2024 State IN (’24, 5-10 OH, Purdue commit), who anchor this squad and will make the Boilermakers that much better in the fall of ’24. Emma Segal Emma Segal 5'6" | DS/L Frontier | 2024 State IN (’24, 5-6 DS/L, Indiana commit) has her sights set on the Big Ten as well, and has Big Ten all-conference potential. Aesha Vogt Aesha Vogt 5'8" | OH Faith Christian | 2024 State IN (’24, 5-8 OH, Butler commit) and Riley Whitlock Riley Whitlock 6'0" | OH Lafayette Harrison | 2024 State IN (’24, 6-0 OH/RS, Ball State) will keep their D1 talents in-state for the Bulldogs and Cardinals, respectively. For a couple of big hammers, why not mention Taylor Lewis Taylor Lewis 6'1" | OH Cathedral | 2024 State #179 Nation IN (’24, 6-1 OH, Villanova commit), Alayna Christner Alayna Christner 6'2" | RS Western Boone | 2024 State IN (’24, 6-2 OH, Southeastern Missouri commit) or Riley Resmer Riley Resmer 6'1" | MB Noblesville | 2024 State IN (’24, 6-1 MB, Harvard commit)? Each attack high and hard and bring their fair share of volleyball acuity to the floor. We can’t talk about this squad, however, without mentioning SEC-bound Isabella Humphrey Isabella Humphrey 5'9" | OH McCutcheon | 2024 State IN (’24, 5-0 DS/L, Auburn), a brilliant passer who has, on more than one occasion, bailed out her fellow passers with her amazing abilities. That leaves Aedyhn Demko (’24, 5-11 MB/RS, McCutcheon), a hybrid of an attacker who has been receiving high-level training for years, but is looking for the perfect fit for her abilities.
Union 17-1 UA, 17 National
Earning their bid at the Pioneer Regional, this Indiana-based club team has plenty to go around as well. My personal favorite on this particular roster is Makenzie Wagner Makenzie Wagner 5'10" | RS Providence | 2024 State IN (’24, 5-10 RS, Providence). She’s already a state champ, has a hammer for a left shoulder, and can play all positions defensively with her high level volleyball IQ. I’m also high on Lilly Tappel Lilly Tappel 5'10" | OH Providence | 2024 State IN (’24, 5-10 OH, Providence), a terror from the other pin that can be a primary passing outside for any school that needs one. Ellie Priddy Ellie Priddy 5'10" | MB Silver Creek | 2024 State IN (’24, 5-11 OH, Silver Creek) is also an option for both pins, and should be a tough out for opposing teams in Chicago in a couple of weeks.
