SWMO Top Returning Setters

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='237807' first='Reece' last='Cook'] – 2025 – Ozark</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ozark will be in good hands for the next two years as Reece returns to run the offense after having an outstanding season as a sophomore. Cook finished last year with 1085 putting her sixth in the state in assists. She will have plenty of firepower around her this year, and I expect her to become more of an offensive-minded distributor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='216426' first='Jewell' last='Bray'] – 2024 – Nixa</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Eagles lost one of the best setters in program history, and Bray came in, and the team didn't miss a beat. Jacy is a fierce competitor, quick with great hands, and isn't afraid to catch the defense off guard with her fantastic deep court setter dumps. She should pass 2000 career assists this year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Ava Walters – 2024 – Springfield Catholic</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>At 5'10, Walters has the size to put up a solid block and gives her team a solid offensive threat on the second contact. She is fast, has a high IQ, and feeds her pin hitters on point—a solid setter at the next level who plays tough defense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Reagan Greenway – 2024 – Kickapoo</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Coming off a Class 5 runner-up finish Kickapoo will look to return to the title match. A big part of this will lean on Greenway and her distribution. She is a spark plug for the Chiefs, leading the team with 643 assists and giving her team the edge with her tough jump float.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='493000' first='Hannah' last='Gardner'] – 2025 – Kickapoo</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The second part of the 6-2 for Kickapoo is the 5'10” combo setter/hitter Gardner. I was impressed with her at the final four last year as she is a great setter and racks up the kills on the right pin. The lefty puts up a mean block, plays hard-nosed defense, and can slam the ball on the second contact.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
