I am not going to lie; when I popped onto MaxPreps to peek at the stats, I was not expecting a freshman to top the leaderboard for assists in Division 1. Though I have not had the opportunity to see her play in person, I hope to Chippewa Falls at the state tournament later this season. Barrett currently has 655 assists. This is an incredible number for a freshman setter in a high-level program. I cannot wait to see her continue to impress throughout her high school career.

Lilly is one of the best setters this state has seen. She has over 3,000 career assists. She has reached 1,000 assists in a season two separate times, her sophomore and junior years, and is well on her way to doing it again this season. Lilly plays at an incredibly high level and is an energizer and positive leader in every single play.
Sylvia has taken her game to the next level in the past year. She has great footwork and a quick touch on the ball. Her placement is precise, and she keeps all of her hitters involved. She played up an age level for club, which helped her increase the speed of her offense. Sylvia already has over 600 assists this season alone and is developing into a great leader in this KM program.

Madi is one of the cleanest setters in the game. She has nearly 500 assists this season and only 9 ball-handling errors. She also has 40 aces and is currently serving at 96.6%.

Her court awareness is solid and she is an impact player and has been a consistent force for Fond du Lac since her freshman year. She is coming up on 2,000 career assists which is simply amazing.
