2025 Update Rankings: The Biggest Moves

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We always like to look at which players made some of the biggest jumps in our updated rankings. With this class, their club play, high school results, and honors such as all-tournament and all-state teams are some of the contributing factors in players moving up. Here are some of our many players who saw their stock rise.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='174285' first='Avery' last='Helms'] - L/DS - Francis Howell/High Performance - 27&gt;12</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Marquette volleyball commit jumped up 15 spots after a strong club season, followed by another outstanding high school season that saw her finish with 497 digs and 140 assists. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='168044' first='Ella' last='Keeven'] - S - Marquette/Jaja Beach - 28&gt;18</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Keevan will play beach volleyball at the next level and jumped to the 18th position, up ten spots from our previous ranking. She displayed her versatility this fall setting and hitting, totaling 256 kills and close to 500 assists. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='170044' first='Raylee' last='Stenzel'] - OH - Mountain Grove/Apex - 93&gt;21</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The largest leap in the rankings is held by Stenzel. The all-state performer at Moutain Grove is electric on the court evidenced by her 597 kills this fall. Yes, you read that right...597 kills. This was at almost a 50% kill percentage. She added a casual 351 digs on the year for good measure. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='168038' first='Sophia' last='Helling'] - RS - Union - 76&gt;22</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Helling earned all-state honors in 2023 from Union High School. Her season helped her go from the mid-70s to the low 20s. The opposite who also displays her skills on the softball diamond had 448 kills in her junior season. She is one of the fiercest competitors you'll find in the state. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='170045' first='Ava' last='Robart'] - MB - Potosi - 88&gt;27</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Another all-state performer, Robert saw her stock rise in 2023 after a strong high school season. At 6'0", she can play on the pin and in the middle. She matched Stenzel with 597 kills. Yes, you read that right...597 kills. She was tough behind the service line as well, adding over 60 aces. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='221012' first='Rylee' last='Adams'] - OH - Odessa/Club North - 59&gt;28</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Adams had 597...ok not quite but 325 isn't anything to sneeze at for the Odessa High/Club North player. Since we mentioned aces earlier, this is a good spot to mention the 87 she earned in her junior season. A big area of growth we saw in her this year was her defense. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='349615' first='Kylee' last='Richey'] - MB - Versailles/Missouri Jrs. - 45&gt;29</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The final player to leapfrog their way into the top 30 is the middle blocker from Versailles. Richey jumped from 45 to 29 between the club seasons. 576 kills will help you make that type of jump. She also had over 300 digs and close to 100 assists. She is a tremendous athlete who brings many intangibles to the court. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
