<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='219778' first='Tara' last='Venable'] – 5'11" - Ozark</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>If you don't know Tara by now, get to know her quickly. She will be a terminating outside for Ozark again after leading the team in kills last season. Tara has the height, power, and skill set to be a big-time recruit for the Tigers. The kid can thump it and has the finesse to her game, making her play well above her age.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='236990' first='Camryn' last='Cornell'] – 5'9" – Mt. Vernon</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Cornell will be asked to do much more this year at the net, and her athleticism should help her excel. Camryn will be a six-rotation outside after finishing second in kills and a primary passer. She has good height and vertical and will be critical in the Mountaineer's push for a district title.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='236997' first='Jaeli' last='Rutledge'] – 6'1" – Webb City</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jaeli is already a big physical attacker and blocker and will continue to improve. She has a long wingspan with power and vertical that will put her as a D1 recruit. One of the top 2026 players in Missouri and has a massive upside to her game. You must watch her over the next three years as she develops her game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='237013' first='Natalie' last='Hawthorne'] 5'9" – Ozark</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Whether she cracks the lineup for Varsity is yet to be determined, but the lefty right side will be a force over the next two years. Once she can team up with classmate [player_tooltip player_id='219778' first='Tara' last='Venable'] Ozark, she will have two tremendous attackers on each pin.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='236995' first='Audrey' last='Dinwiddie'] -5'10" – Eldon</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Dinwiddie was a crucial contributor in the Mustangs making it to state last year and will be asked to do even more this year. Audrey finished last year in the top three with 235 kills and 389 digs and was a primary passer. &nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
