Class 3 POY Watch List

Since the state went to 5 classes no other class has more change in the final four bound teams than Class 3. Yes, Blair Oaks has back-to-back titles but the amount of teams making their first trips to a final four has happened more than Class 3. The field of players listed are some of the top players in Class 3.   [player_tooltip player_id='234314' first='Libby' last='Juergensmeyer'] – 2024 – Setter - Blair Oaks   Libby had huge shoes to fill in her first season running the 5-1 and did it so well she helped her team repeat as Class 3 champions. Her distribution to all the hitters is impressive as she has 2,108 career assists.   [player_tooltip player_id='737573' first='Lanyn' last='Sisk'] – 2025 – Setter - Odessa   A school record-breaking machine is a great way to describe Lanyn. She will leave the school as the all-time best setter and has 1,622 career assists with a full year left to play.   [player_tooltip player_id='170045' first='Ava' last='Robart'] – 2025 – Outside - Potosi   Ava will leave Potosi as the best volleyball player in school history. She has been a dominant outside hitter since her first season. She is a 6'0”  six-rotation outside who can attack from any position, plays great defense, and is a main passer. Her career numbers are 1,194 kills, 527 digs, and 81 blocks.   [player_tooltip player_id='451406' first='Blair' last='Sitton'] – 2025 – Middle - Central [program_tooltip program_id='428790' first='Park' last='Hills']   A transfer this year to Central Blair has led the team since her arrival. A big force in the middle at 6'4” Blair has 155 career blocks and 576 kills. She alters the game in so many ways and just her presence in the middle changes the opponent's attack.   [player_tooltip player_id='124226' first='Autumn' last='Bax'] – 2024 – Opposite - Blair Oaks   The 6'1” opposite of the Falcons has been on a tear since walking onto the court at Blair Oaks. The monster lefty can hammer the ball, block, and play defense making her a fantastic six-rotation opposite. Autumn has 1,411 career kills, 265 blocks, 657 digs, and two state titles.   [player_tooltip player_id='168899' first='Abygail' last='Widhalm'] – 2024 – Outside - Pleasant Hill     A return trip to the final four will rely on the shoulders of Widhalm. The six rotation outside has several school records and sits at 1,179 kills, 138 blocks, and 660 digs, and is a big part of the passing game for the Chicks.   [player_tooltip player_id='170044' first='Raylee' last='Stenzel'] – 2025 – Middle - Mountain Grove   A 5'10” jump jack with a tremendous amount of power and a high volleyball IQ leads her team in her play. Still, one year to go Raylee has a chance at 2,000 career kills. She currently has 1,301 kills, and 852 digs and is her team's primary passer. A tremendous talent.   [player_tooltip player_id='170395' first='Madison' last='Dunn'] -2024 – Outside – Central [program_tooltip program_id='428790' first='Park' last='Hills']   If Madison was the libero for any team her dig numbers would be outrageous. She is a textbook libero but hits on the outside for the Rebels. Since her transfer from Bismarck Madison has elevated the Rebels team. Madison will leave Central with over 1,000 kills and 1,000 digs for her career. Next level libero.   [player_tooltip player_id='222579' first='Lilly' last='Bott'] – 2026 – Libero – St. Charles   In just her two seasons as the Pirate's libero, she passed 1,000 career digs. Arguably one of the best true libero's in Class 3. She knows her role and does it extremely well for being a 2026 graduate.   [player_tooltip player_id='493013' first='Taylor' last='Germann'] – 2025 – Middle – Southern Boone   The 5'10” keeps getting better with each year. The standout middle hits with power plays defense and passes like a libero. Taylor's career numbers are 548 kills, 142 blocks, 111 aces, and 512 digs, and is the primary passer. The six-rotation middle gets it done on both sides of the ball.
