<p>Part six of our eleven part series moves on to the non-Open teams from Indiana. There is still a ton of young talent at all three graduating classes that have earned attention this past club season. Here are the two teams, with three players each that should be turning heads in Chicago.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Circle City 17 Black: 17 Freedom</h2>   <p>With the 17 Purple squad going to Florida, this particular roster is the oldest 17s team going from Circle. Offensively, they have a bunch of options. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='155214' first='Reanna' last='Lee'] ('25, 5-11 MB)</strong> has a state title to her name from '21, and knows nothing except winning. Her strength is defense, where she takes up space and read-blocks with some of the best. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='260999' first='Ellyzabeth' last='Ware'] ('25, 5-11 MB)</strong> is another Lafayette-area kid that is sure to make waves in the Windy City. She's big and strong, and has surprisingly fast feet for someone her size. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='171378' first='Raegan' last='Stader'] ('24, 5-9 OH)</strong> is an explosive six-rotation outside that can hit in-system attacks just as effectively as out-of-system.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Rev 16-2 Swarm: 16 Freedom</h2>   <p>A few lefties dot this roster, starting with <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='365573' first='Elle' last='Odom'] ('25, 5-10 RS).</strong> Elle is a big and strong right side that anticipates well on the block and hits high and hard on offense. <strong>Amiyah Newborn ('25, 5-8 RS)</strong> is a more explosive version of Miss Odom, and makes up for her lack of size with great jumping ability. <strong>Grace Higgins ('25, 5-7 DS/L)</strong> is a left-back libero from high school power Cathedral that is always active and makes multiple plays per match that are well outside of her immediate area. </p>
