Career Milestones

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Players are breaking milestones all over the state and I love to see it. I'm trying to keep up with everyone with another addition coming out over the weekend. Congratulations to the six athletes below who've accomplished tremendous milestones for their respective high schools.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='170395' first='Madison' last='Dunn'] – 2024 – Outside – Central [program_tooltip program_id='428790' first='Park' last='Hills']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Dunn is a pivotal player for the Rebels and contributes to every point in some way. An outstanding defender who could play libero for a lot of programs at the next level. 1,000^th dig last week with more to come.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='342441' first='Delaney' last='Hope'] – 2024 – Middle - Nevada</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The heart and soul of the Tigers offense and tremendous middle blocker reached her 1,000^th career kill last week. The 6'1” middle should pass 200 career blocks before the season is over.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Carlie Loughary – 2025 – Libero - Valley Caledonia</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In a 2-3 loss to Kingston last week Carlie passed the 1,000-dig milestone with another year to add to this total. Been a constant presence defensively for the Vikings from day one.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='174285' first='Avery' last='Helms'] – 2025 – Libero - Francis Howell</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the best liberos in Missouri's class of 2025 eclipsed the 1,000-dig plateau. A fantastic player who knows the libero role and does it with excellence.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":464548,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepdig.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2023/10/Avery-Helms-Francis-Howell.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-464548" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Photo: AD, School Twitter</figcaption></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='124227' first='Izzy' last='Herrbold'] – 2024 -Libero - Helias</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bring the starting libero for just the last two years Izzy has passed 1,000 digs. A hard-working libero who hogs the court on defense and gives her team a fighting chance in each match.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='220462' first='Madilynn' last='Benne'] – 2026 – Setter - Lee's Summit North</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In a little over a year and a half, Madilynn has passed the 1,000 assists milestone and has the potential to reach 2,000 before she is finished.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":464549,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepdig.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2023/10/Madi-Benne-Lees-Summit-North.jpg?w=768" alt="" class="wp-image-464549" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Photo: Amy Benne, Lee's Summit North Volleyball Twitter</figcaption></figure> <!-- /wp:image -->
