You Pick The Date: Top Matches To Watch This Week

We're into the last week of the regular season here in Indiana. The sectional draw was revealed last night, senior nights are everywhere, and programs are gearing up for a long postseason run. Here are five days worth of opportunities to watch exceptional high school volleyball throughout the state.   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Monday: 4A #9 Zionsville (24-4) @ 4A #17 North Central (26-5)</h2>   This is gonna be fun. There's so much volleyball talent on both of these rosters that the trip up to Nora on the north side of Indy will be well worth the trouble of dealing with traffic and construction. The Eagles have had one of their better seasons in recent memory, and are led by a springy and athletic [player_tooltip player_id='221478' first='Josie' last='Imes'] ('26, 5-10 OH). Her ability to terminate from anywhere and receive serve consistently will be the key to Zionsville's success. Her opposite, [player_tooltip player_id='171390' first='Sophia' last='Poehlein'] ('24, 6-1 OH, Bentley commit) is a long and lean outside that makes some blocks irrelevant. Don't count out the Panthers though, as they are having an epic season as well. [player_tooltip player_id='110512' first='Alaleh' last='Tolliver'] ('24, 5-11 OH, Butler commit) is a primary-passing attacker from the left who can show off her own level of athleticism. Couple her with middle [player_tooltip player_id='171374' first='Daya' last='Vestal'] ('24, 6-1 MB), and you have a heck of a one-two punch on offense.   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tuesday: 4A #20 Harrison (20-5) @ 3A #22 West Lafayette (17-6)</h2>   Practically neighbors, this matchup of rivals should make WL's gym LOUD tomorrow night. [player_tooltip player_id='110515' first='Riley' last='Whitlock'] ('24, 6-0 Pin, Ball State commit) will be the primary attacker for the Raiders, and will probably be asked to do just a little more than usual in this rivalry. [player_tooltip player_id='290583' first='Della' last='Bossung'] ('26, 5-10 OH) is a nice complement to Riley when she's in the back row, and will be needed in order to pull off a win on Tuesday. Don't overlook those Red Devils, however. (#RDP) They've got plenty of firepower of their own, and a ton of youth to go with it. [player_tooltip player_id='387449' first='Audrey' last='Alexander'] ('26, 5-11 OH) and [player_tooltip player_id='173241' first='Taylor' last='Woods'] ('25, 5-11 OH) are an amazing pair of attackers to have in the outside hitting position, and will shoulder the bulk of the Red Devil offense.   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Wednesday: 3A #23 New Prairie (19-8) @ 2A #3 South Central (27-0)</h2>   Speaking of youth versus experience, this matchup provides us with more great examples of both. The three headed offensive monster the Cougars bring are called [player_tooltip player_id='403709' first='Jenna' last='Kelly'] ('26, 5-11 Pin), Cameron Smith ('25, 5-11 OH) and Sofia Jankowski ('26, 5-7 OH). All three pin attackers average north of two kills per set, making defending this pack of Cougars that much harder to predict. The Satellites have senior leadership on their side, and back-to-back conference MVP Tatum Wade ('24, 5-10 OH) is the obvious physical leader. With over six kills per set, she's accomplished more in her time at SC than any other wearing that uniform. Setter Hope Welsh ('24, 5-6 S) just passed the 3000 career assist mark for the program, and looks to add even more to that total with a deep run in October.   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Thursday: 3A #4 Benton Central (26-1) @ 1A #8 Faith Christian (25-2)</h2>   You think these teams know each other? Most of both rosters play club ball, specifically at Boiler Juniors, so yeah, they're familiar. The Bison will roll out the Foster sisters to lead the way. [player_tooltip player_id='260994' first='Calista' last='Foster'] ('26, 5-10 OH) leads the way in the attack department, while amazing passer and defender [player_tooltip player_id='110506' first='Sienna' last='Foster'] ('24, 5-10 OH, Purdue commit) should not be served to under any circumstances. The Eagles have a ton of talent on their side of the net as well. [player_tooltip player_id='171344' first='Aesha' last='Vogt'] ('24, 5-8 OH, Butler commit) is not only the leading attacker but prides herself on her defense and serve receive talents. Maya Layton ('26, 5-8 OH) might be undersized, but she puts the ball away just like the bigger kids do. This should be a fun end-of-season match to catch in Lafayette.   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Saturday: Bloomington North (18-7) vs. Avon (16-8) @ Columbus East</h2>   Yes, even the Saturday before everyone's sectional starts, there's still time for one more play date. This battle, like the Thursday match listed above, has kids that are more than familiar with each other, but this time from Circle City. [player_tooltip player_id='173239' first='Avery' last='Freeman'] ('25, 5-4 DS/L, Indiana commit) has been one of my favorite defenders in this class for some time now, and just recently committed to the Hoosiers. Mia Robbennolt ('24, 6-0 MB) is going to have to defend well from pin to pin if the Cougars wish to come out of this match with a win. The Orioles have had their (unfair) share of injury issues, and are a young squad learning their identity just in time for the sectional. [player_tooltip player_id='173245' first='Isabelle' last='Brown'] ('25, 5-9 S) can run a 5-1 at the collegiate level right now, while primary attacker [player_tooltip player_id='221476' first='Ania' last='Kilburn'] ('26, 5-11 OH) has a whip of an arm that can put balls away from anywhere.
