Kayla Landerud Kayla Landerud 6'1" | MB McFarland | 2026 State WI

Landerud showed off a lot of athleticism throughout the tournament while playing with a lot of maturity. She remains very even keeled and focused while remaining aggressive at the net. She is a very solid piece for McFarland to build the future aroumd.
Sheplee puts up a big block and has a ridiculously high contact point. She is a spitfire that keeps her teams energy high and always focused on the next point. Sheplee’s athleticism gives her the ability to hit from anywhere on the court and terminate.
Addison Schmidt Addison Schmidt 6'2" | MB Rice Lake | 2027 WI

Schmidt was pure power at the net and she was sure to raise some eyebrows. She has a lethal swing and yet so much room to grow. Schmidt could already make the defense pay but watch for her stock to rise because she has a really high ceiling.
Hudson was clutch in some really intense moments. She has a live arm and is a player that will step into an even bigger role next year. Hudson was an impact player but a little more covert this season. Next year eyes will be on her.
Highlights
Tisdale keeps getting better every time I see her play. She was making aggressive plays at the net while also hitting .304 in the Pirates semifinal match. Tisdale has figured out how to leave her fingerprint on every match.
