I’ve written about Crystal before; if she was at a large school, she would have the same effect that she does for her class 1 school. She would put down over 500 kills last season, plays excellent defense, and is the primary passer. Crystal is a high flyer and gets well above the net.
Raylee Stenzel Raylee Stenzel 5'11" | OH Mountain Grove | 2025 State MO – 5’10” – Mountain Grove
Raylee can play volleyball flat-out and does with authority. The go-to hitter for the Panthers has a fantastic arm swing and hits with power. Quick to the pins and rips from the back row with the same aggressiveness as when swinging from the front row. She’s a wow player when you watch her hammer. She already has 800 career kills, which will almost double this season.
Skylar Hilton Skylar Hilton 6'2" | MB Ozark | 2025 State MO – 6’2” – Ozark
Hilton is part of the kiddie corps for the Tigers, and the future looks bright. Hilton is a tall, longwing span athletic middle for Ozark that runs a nice slide with great success. She is a high-level player who will keep getting better under Coach Brewer and finished last season third in kills with 255 and first in blocks with 70.
Bella Breuer Bella Breuer 6'2" | MB Camdenton | 2025 MO – 6’2” – Camdenton
The Lakers have produced some tough middles over the years, and Bella might develop into one of the best ones. She has a great vertical, quick transition and hits a heavy ball. Bella led the Lakers in kills and finished one block away from finishing first in blocks.
Addi Gilmore – 5’10” – Clever
Addi had a great year for Clever, leading the team in kills and blocks. She moves quickly to the pins, has a nice vertical, and penetrates the net to be a shutdown blocker. Expect a more significant season from the middle hitter as she becomes the leader.
