<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='261124' first='Angelina' last='Azbell'], Holly/Arsenal (2024): </strong>Azbell is long and can be a big factor at the net. When she trusts in her talents, she can have dominant stretches.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='203380' first='Kennedi' last='Friendly'], Southfield A&T/Volleyball Elite (2024): </strong>Friendly showed a lot of potential and brought some of the loudest pops at the showcase. If she can dial up her consistency, she's going to have a big 2023.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='288958' first='Madelyn' last='Krappmann'], Everest Collegiate/Unified (2025): </strong>Krappmann could have been the Most Outstanding Player of the showcase. She did it all and was as consistent as anyone on the floor.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='384508' first='Hanna' last='Pardon'], Brandon/High Performance (2025): </strong>Pardon has good intensity that she translates into a lot of power and pressure at the net. She's driven to be great.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='243338' first='Addison' last='Dunning'], Davison/Five:1 (2026): </strong>Dunning had a steady, technically solid swing that packed a punch. She held her own as a 5'7” hitter against her 6-foot peers.</p>

<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:image {"align":"right","id":437780,"width":175,"height":164,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} -->
<figure class="wp-block-image alignright size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepdig.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2023/07/743-McKenna-Boykin.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-437780" width="175" height="164" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">[player_tooltip player_id='438529' first='McKenna' last='Boykin']</figcaption></figure>
<!-- /wp:image -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='261135' first='Clare' last='Beazley'], Saline/Michigan Elite (2026): </strong>Beazley covers a lot of space at the net with her long reach and when she finds that next gear, she can be tough to compete with. She's got a high ceiling.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='438529' first='McKenna' last='Boykin'], Portland/Airstrike (2026): </strong>Boykin looked very smooth on the court and put good swings on the ball from the front row at back. A solid athlete, Boykin can be a solid college prospect as she builds on her game.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='226899' first='Cree' last='Hollier'], Mercy/Michigan Elite (2026): </strong>Hollier plays with a chip on her shoulder and at 5'8” is as imposing a middle as you saw on Saturday. Her hang time and arm speed allow her to be a big-time offensive and defensive force.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='310635' first='Taniya' last='Jai Radden'], Ottawa/MVA (2026): </strong>Radden had some swings that forced everyone to pay attention. She has the arm speed, the power and the attack angles to be an impact player.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='261180' first='Korin' last='Hutton'], Anchor Bay/Michigan Elite (2025): </strong>Hutton brought a contagious energy to the court, which complimented her setting and leadership skills. She's a talented athlete that plays with a lot of heart.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='224600' first='Cali' last='Stevons'], DeWitt/MVA (2025): </strong>Stevons was arguably the steadiest setter at the showcase, hitting her spots and doing it with a relaxed and composed look on her face. Stevons stays patient and makes the most out of each rally.</p>

<!-- /wp:image -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Ramya Johnson, L'Anse Creuse North/Crank It (2025): </strong>Johnson was a hustle player that kept a smile on her face, even when getting into some heated points. Johnson was very attentive to her coaching and consistently made good choices when taking on a big opposing swing.</p>
