Gregory, a 2022 1st team all league honoree and 3rd team all-Ohio selection for DIV, averaged 2.2 k/s and 8.5 a/s for the Knights as they advanced deep into the postseason for a state semifinal appearance. She is the best two-way prospect in the league as she can score points off her arm when swinging at the pins or through her savvy court awareness and athleticism to score the ball on the second touch when setting. With 431 total kills for her career, she also has over 600 total digs to go along with 2,078 assists.

– Allen East
The 1st team all-league selection last fall entered the 2023 season with 766 total kills for her career. She has also earned 221 total blocks. At 6’0, the senior middle has good athleticism to complement her court sense and awareness on the offensive side to change her attack points so she can score with power or by exploiting open space in the opposing defense. She has career averages of 3.4 k/s and 3.3 b/m.

The junior outside hitter is quickly approaching the 500 kills mark for her career as Bluffton is off to a 3-2 start for 2023. She is leading the Pirates offensively this season at 2.4 kills per set primarily from the left pin. The 6’2 multi-sport athlete was a 2nd team all-league selection last season after she averaged a career best 3.5 k/s.

Etzler was a 2nd team all-league selection in 2022 as the middle shared the team lead offensively at 3.1 k/s, helping the Knights to a 20-8 overall record and a league crown. The Ashland commit has some of the best length in the league at 6’2, which helps her overpower defenses with her arm as her athleticism and physicality in the air. She can swing and score through quick tempos around the setter and also get up and over the block at the right pin. She has earned over 800 kills for her career to go along with 149 total blocks.

The junior is the third part of Crestview’s returning core offense from their DIV state semifinal run in 2022. She closed out the season well last fall finishing with a team high 17 kills in their loss to the eventual state champions. The honorable mention all-league selection last season terminated 300 kills for an average of 3.1 k/s to share the team lead. The 5’10 pin uses multiple attack points to swing and has good arm work to make plays with power or placement that can apply a lot of pressure upon the defense and keep them off balance.
