Angel has been a mainstay in the Clarkton lineup from day 1. Angel is another high-flying six-rotation middle who finished with 375 kills this season and 921 career kills. She could be a solid six-rotation outside because she can pass and play defense being one of the tops in both categories for the Reindeer.
Crystal Smith Crystal Smith 5'10" | MB Jasper | 2025 State MO – 5’10” – Jasper
Crystal led the entire state in kills with 654 regardless of class. Smith is a tremendous talent who can fly with an enormous vertical. She also has so much power and bounces a ton of balls. An incredibly gifted athlete who can play in college and has one more year to add to her career kill total of 1,424. With another season to go her becoming the MSHSAA career kill holder is very possible.
Reagan Howe Reagan Howe 5'11" | MB Oak Ridge | 2025 State MO – 5’10” – Oak Ridge
A friend pointed out that Reagan is one of the best under-the-radar players in SEMO and he was right. Reagan is the first player in Oak Ridge history to make all-state. She had some massive performances with 21 kills in a win over Crystal City. The 365 kills were double her kill output from last year and added 59 blocks.
Jaelynn Presley – 5’10” – Risco
Risco has a really good player in Jaelynn. She’s quick and puts up a big block. Very active middle who finished with 295 kills and 217 digs and was one of the team’s best passers.
Brennah Filtingberger – 5’11” – Miami
With almost triple the kills as the next player on her team, Brennah finished with 285 kills and 118 digs as a six-rotation middle. She would also add 43 blocks but her presence at the net altered more attacks from her opponents. Would make a nice opposite at the next level with her height and ability to set.
