Thirty-two teams competed across two waves, and every team showed huge talent and potential. I loved the huge energy in the gym from 9 AM to 9 PM. Athletes were quite literally improving with every game they played. Here are GameChangers from the JV Sizzle. </p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='284069' first='Lizzy' last='Kwiatkowski'] - Setter - 2026 - Oconomowoc</h2>   <p>Lizzy is a setter on the rise in this class. She has great form and can play on the right side as well. She has a clean touch on the ball and great court vision. Lizzy impressed in all six rotations at the JV Sizzle and was a leader on the court. She ran the offense well and spread her offense. </p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Mary Stisser - Outside Hitter - 2026 - Ottowa</h2>   <p>Mary was all-around impressive. Her talent is so balanced, and she can be utilized in the front and back row. Her serve receive was clean and simple. On offense, she was aggressive but did not make a lot of errors. She was a consistent force in everything she did and was a go-to athlete on this team. Mary along with middle hitter Isabella Markey (2026), were huge factors for the Ottowa offense. </p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='510440' first='Pria' last='Tolat'] - Middle Hitter - 2027 - Pewaukee</h2>   <p>Pria is an athlete to watch. She is incredibly smart with her swings and disciplined in her movement. What sets her apart is her ability to pass as well. She is engaged on defense and is a competitive server as well. She went on several big runs for Pewaukee throughout the day. </p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='453616' first='Chloe' last='Savage'] - Outside Hitter - 2026 - Green Bay Preble</h2>   <p>Chloe was explosive throughout the Sizzle. She takes a big approach, has a high vertical, and a powerhouse swing. She can rip balls line, cross court, and anywhere in between. She typically played all six rotations and was an impact player in every single one. Chloe's defense and serve receive were also impressive.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='452262' first='Grace' last='Burton'] - Right Side - 2026 - Hartford</h2>   <p>Grace is a powerhouse pin hitter. She puts up a massive block and makes momentum-changing swings. Grace gives 100% in every moment of every game. She is always working in transition and is a key player for Hartford. When she connects on a set, you can hear the thump of her kill hitting the ground on the other side of the net. Grace is an energizer on the court, always amping up her teammates. </p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Maddie Howley - Middle Hitter - 2026 - Sun Prairie East</h2>   <p>Maddie is an athletic and aggressive middle, two characteristics every coach wants out of their middle hitters. Her movement is explosive yet disciplined, and she makes great choices with her swings. She caught the eye of numerous scouts at the Sizzle and is an athlete to watch. </p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='453640' first='Ariel' last='Xiong'] - Libero - 2026 - Appleton North</h2>   <p>Ariel had some of the best passing fundamentals of any athlete there. She was disciplined and read opposing hitters very well. She was confident and consistent in serve receive and got a touch on nearly every ball that came over the net. Ariel has huge potential and is a very talented athlete that is already impressive. </p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Julieyne Martin - Middle Hitter - 2026 - Hortonville</h2>   <p>Julieyne first caught my eye from about two courts away. She went up and connected perfectly with her setter and pounded a ball. The opposing defense didn't even have a moment to react. She continued earning points and making an impact every time I saw her play. She is a talented middle who is very strong offensively and has a lot of potential. </p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='388553' first='Chayse' last='Penzenstadler'] - Outside Hitter - 2026 - Notre Dame Academy </h2>   <p>Chayse was absolutely on fire at the Sizzle. She could not be stopped. She is an athlete who came onto my radar at the Prep Dig Battle at the Bay and has not slowed down. She seems to level up her game every time she steps on the court. Chayse made it hard to take her off the court - her defense, serve receive, and serving were all very high level. </p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='485131' first='Lilliani' last='Big Eagle'] - Setter - 2027 - Freedom </h2>   <p>Lilliani is an incredibly talented setter. She has clean hands and a quick release on the ball. She isn't afraid to set against the grain or make aggressive choices. She will do everything she can to give her hitters a great ball. Lilliani is a strong athlete with near-infinite potential. She can also swing on the right side and manufacture points with her serve. She is a player to watch in the class of 2027. </p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='453650' first='Estella' last='Pleuss'] - Outside Hitter - 2026 - Saint Mary's Springs Academy</h2>   <p>Estella is a talented 6-rotation athlete who was a leader for Saint Mary's Springs in the JV Sizzle. She had a great first contact on serve receive and was a consistent force on offense and defense as well. Estella got a lot of touches on the ball, and she used every contact to work toward earning points for her team. </p>
