The 6’2″ middle/setter for the Hornets was unstoppable at the final four leading her team to the Class 1 title. This year should be no different after finishing last year with 542 kills, 64 blocks, and 428 assists. An intelligent hitter that will hit over most Class 1 blocks and has the hands to be a college setter.
Eliana Bowling – 5’10” – Bell City
The 5’10 middle for the Cubs had a breakout junior season and finished with 342 kills and 101 blocks to put her team in a position to make a run in the playoffs. Eliana has power out of the middle and quick footwork to the pins. Look for Bowling to have the Cubs in a position to make a tough push come late October.
Rylee Jenkins Rylee Jenkins 5'11" | OH Rock Port | 2024 State MO – 5’11” – Rock Port
Jenkins is a bruiser out of the middle for Rock Port. She’s a quick attacker with a mighty swing and a fluid middle—one of the harder hitters returning in Class 1. At 5’11, she will be tough to stop and should surpass 1000 career kills this year.
Enzley Dinkins Enzley Dinkins 5'7" | S South Iron | 2024 State MO – 5’8″ – South Iron
A springy middle/setter for the Panthers finished third on the team in kills and second in blocks and assists. She’s returning for her final year, and Dinkins’s offensive production will increase and be the focal point of the Panther’s attack.
Karli Smith – 5’10” – Northwest
Another solid middle returning is Smith for Northwest, and she gives her team a solid attacker but provides a tough middle to hit around. Smith’s ability to hit the corners and run a nice slide will keep her opponents honest when defending Karli. She would finish last year with 241 kills and 47 blocks.
