Avery had the tall task of digging up the bombs the Lancers were hitting at her, and she was magnificent during the championship match. In the loss, she would finish with 18 digs and 2 assists.
Megan Skaggs Megan Skaggs 5'5" | DS/L Lafayette | 2024 State MO – 2025 – DS – Lafayette
If Skaggs gets the libero jersey next year, then the Lancers will be in good shape defensively and in the passing game. The defensive specialist came in and finished with a team-high 17 digs and made a couple of incredible diving saves.
Anne Makowski Anne Makowski 6'0" | OH St. Pius X (Festus) | 2025 State MO – 2025 – Outside – St. Pius X
This kid doesn’t get the press or as much recognition as others on her team, but she came to play today. The 6’0” outside hitter was the most efficient hitter in all Classes and games during the state tournament hitting .636 in the loss to Incarnate Word. She hammered 15 kills on 22 attempts and had 2 digs and 1 block.
Tara Greenberry Tara Greenberry 6'3" | MB Incarnate Word | 2025 State #117 Nation MO – 2025 – Middle – Incarnate Word
When in doubt send the ball high and let Tara go get it. She is a beast in the middle and makes it look easy. She can slam it over, around, or through the block. She would score again and again getting pushed to the outside and hitting the line. In the title match, she carried the team with 17 kills on .382 hitting and added five blocks and two aces.
Elizabeth Koenig Elizabeth Koenig 5'7" | S Ursuline | 2026 State MO – 2026 – Setter/Opposite – Ursuline Academy
The Bears are ridiculously loaded with 2026 talent and Koenig is one of them. She hits on the right pin and also helps run the offense and is tough as nails on the court. In the 5-set loss to Blair Oaks, she was a stat stuffer finishing with 16 kills, 28 assists, seven digs, and two blocks.
Gabby Horn Gabby Horn 5'10" | OH Blair Oaks | 2025 State MO – 2025 – Outside – Blair Oaks
Being the newbie on the team on the outside wasn’t overwhelming for Horn. In the title match, she came up with key kills during long rallies time and again. During the match, she would hit .294 put down 21 kills, and get 9 digs.
