<p>1. <strong>Fair Grove Eagles 17-0-1</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Eagles move up to first in Class 2 after starting the year undefeated. Big wins over Republic, Mt. Vernon, Kirkwood, Marshfield, and Mtn. View Liberty. [player_tooltip player_id='493046' first='Shea' last='Skouby'] is leading the attack from the middle while [player_tooltip player_id='495351' first='Faith' last='Klindworth'] keeps the balls from hitting the floor.</p>

<p>2. <strong>Hermann Bearcats 6-6</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Do not let the record fool you. The Bearcats have lost to good programs and took Blair Oaks 4 before losing. 3 of the 4 losses have been to teams from Illinois, Indiana, and Kentucky. [player_tooltip player_id='490635' first='Sydney' last='Schulte'] is the kill leader and [player_tooltip player_id='493022' first='Kennedie' last='Witthaus'] does the dirty work for digs.</p>

<p>3. <strong>Adrian Blackhawks 8-0</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A win over El Dorado Springs 3-2 has put Adrian on the map. The Blackhawks are being led by 2026 [player_tooltip player_id='490128' first='Lizzie' last='Clifton'].</p>

<p>4. <strong>Bishop LeBlond Golden Eagles 10-0</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Only having lost a set so far and that was to Falls City Sacred Heart, NE. 2026 [player_tooltip player_id='232218' first='Rilyn' last='Conard'] is off to another quick start as she is leading the team in kills with 95. Thursday a showdown with St. Pius X will give us a better indication of how good this team is.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>5. <strong>El Dorado Springs Bulldogs 11-2-1</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A 2-3 loss to Adrian and then a 0-3 loss to Webb City are not bad losses. Eldo is a program that's always producing great teams. [player_tooltip player_id='195382' first='Neely' last='Schaaf'] is carrying the team in the kills department.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>6. <strong>Stover Bulldogs 13-0</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The Bulldogs have won their first 12 and could win their next 10 before they face tougher opponents. [player_tooltip player_id='342444' first='Hannah' last='Bauer'] keeps the show running in the 5-1 offense.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>7. <strong>Licking Wildcats 12-4-1</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Two of the losses have come to a tough Mountain Grove team but the team hasn't faced that hard of a schedule. We will see how good Licking is when they travel to Strafford next week. [player_tooltip player_id='195373' first='Hannah' last='Medlock'] and Allie Hock are the main offensive threats.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>8. <strong>East Buchanan Bulldogs 17-0</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>With big wins over Lathrop, Lawson, and Maryville the Bulldogs cement their position in the rankings. [player_tooltip player_id='493057' first='Rilyn' last='Sherwood'] is having a fantastic start to the season leading the team with 131 kills, over halfway to her kill total from last year.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>9. <strong>Lone Jack Mules 7-1</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Pleasant Hill is the only team to knock off the Mules and that was the first game of the season. Since the loss they have run off 7 wins and only lost one set. Middle [player_tooltip player_id='495365' first='Kaylee' last='Kindall'] has the team lead in kills with 74.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>10. <strong>Mtn. View Liberty 4-6</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The record isn't nice but the teams that beat the Eagles are a combined 54-12 and a huge win over Mountain Grove. [player_tooltip player_id='168904' first='Bre' last='Daniels'] and Korie Lind are the main two offensive threats.</p>
