The competition at the JV Sizzle was HOT yesterday. 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.
Lizzy Kwiatkowski Lizzy Kwiatkowski 5'11" | S Oconomowoc | 2026 State WI – Setter – 2026 – Oconomowoc
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.
Mary Stisser – Outside Hitter – 2026 – Ottowa
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.
Pria Tolat Pria Tolat MB Pewaukee | 2027 WI – Middle Hitter – 2027 – Pewaukee
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.
Chloe Savage – Outside Hitter – 2026 – Green Bay Preble
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.
Grace Burton Grace Burton 6'1" | RS Hartford | 2026 State WI – Right Side – 2026 – Hartford
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.
Maddie Howley – Middle Hitter – 2026 – Sun Prairie East
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.
Ariel Xiong Ariel Xiong DS/L Appleton North | 2026 WI – Libero – 2026 – Appleton North
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.
Julieyne Martin – Middle Hitter – 2026 – Hortonville
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.
Chayse Penzenstadler Chayse Penzenstadler 5'10" | OH Notre Dame Academy | 2026 State WI – Outside Hitter – 2026 – Notre Dame Academy
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.
Lilliani Big Eagle Lilliani Big Eagle 5'7" | S Freedom | 2027 WI – Setter – 2027 – Freedom
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.
Estella Pleuss Estella Pleuss 5'9" | OH Saint Mary's Springs | 2026 WI – Outside Hitter – 2026 – Saint Mary’s Springs Academy
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.
