STL Hitters of the Week

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='222578' first='Georgia' last='Hite'] – 5'11” – 2026 - Outside - Burroughs</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hite started the season with a bang helping her Bombers to a 5-1-2 start. Already at a third of the kill total from last year with 51.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='207285' first='Addison' last='Czuppon'] – 5'7” – 2024 -Outside - Oakville</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A little undersized for a Class 5 outside but more than makes up for it with her power and vertical. Addie is a smart player that can hit from anywhere on the court. She's had a quick start to the season with 39 kills and 36 digs in helping her Tigers to a 3-2-1 record.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='168037' first='Hannah' last='Leftridge'] – 5'10” – 2025 – Outside - St. Pius X</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A second-place finish and all-tournament pick in the Brace for Impact Tournament is a fantastic way to start a season. Hannah keeps the pipeline for tough outsides at Pius going as her elevation and power allow her to pick the defenses apart.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='221230' first='Bennett' last='Raterman'] – 6'4” – 2026 - St. Pius X</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Lancers have a stacked team this year and Raterman will develop into a nasty middle over the next three years. Helped Pius finish second on the first weekend of the season and slammed 31 kills and 9 blocks. Her height and athleticism affect her opponents more than what shows up in the stats.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='223931' first='Ashley' last='Theiss'] – 5'11” – 2026 – Outside - DeSoto</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Theiss is a beast on the left pin for the Dragons and the sky is the limit. She is a do-it-all six rotation outside that can hit anywhere on the court and passes and plays solid defense. Leads the team with 38 kills and 21 digs.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
