Continue ReadingEvery year there are some setters who fly under the radar. It’s easy to name some of the top setters returning but we wanted to see which players are on the brink of becoming that next name you need to know. Today we look at some of the setters who had good numbers but numbers we expect to see stronger in 2023. Some of these players are in 6-2 systems and either taking over the show or returning in that role. In this list, you will also see players who just didn’t play a lot but will have a bigger role.
Alayna Vaeth Alayna Vaeth 5'9" | S St. Thomas Aquinas | 2026 State KS – 2026 – St. Thomas Aquinas
I mean, what more can we expect from a player who contributed to a state title in 2022? More solid play! In her first season, she contributed to a high-power offense with 334 assists.
Allyson Orth Allyson Orth 5'9" | S Bishop Carroll | 2026 State KS – 2026 – Bishop Carroll
The Bishop Carroll sophomore was good in her first season. In limited action as a setter, she had 140 assists. After the graduation of two seniors, look for a bigger role for Orth in 2023.
Campbell Chabot Campbell Chabot 5'6" | S Topeka Seaman | 2025 State KS – 2025 – Topeka Seaman
We’ve discussed Chabot here and there over the last year as we know she is a high-level setter. She had a strong club season and we expect that to carry over this fall. She dished 527 assists a year ago.
Keneth Rodriguez – 2025 – Sumner Academy
Kansas City, Kansas gets some love with the rising junior Rodriguez earning some ink after a season with 488 assists.
Delainee Dexter Delainee Dexter 5'9" | S Eisenhower | 2025 State KS – 2025 – Eisenhower
Dexter plays a couple of roles for Eisenhower as an attacker and a setter. Both numbers will jump in 2023. With being needed more offensively, her assists took a little dip from year one to year two but she has over 1000 in her career.
Lauren Heinz Lauren Heinz 5'7" | S Andover | 2025 State KS and Kaitlyn Gordon Kaitlyn Gordon 5'8" | DS/L Andover | 2025 State KS – 2025 – Andover
Andover ran a 6-2 last year and both of those players are back in 2023. We don’t know if they will run the same system but both players had near identical numbers in the assist category. Heinz delivered 344, while Gordon was just behind with 340.
