Fox has led all of Class 5 2026s in digs this season with 575. Plays great defense and passes on point. Has a beautiful platform and holds her ground on defense. She reads the hitters extremely well and has a fast first step. Will be dynamite for PHS over the next two years.
Ella Anderson Ella Anderson 5'1" | DS/L Liberty | 2026 State MO – 5’1” – Liberty
What a passer! I’ve followed Liberty volleyball for years and Ella will leave as one of the best. She’s tiny and mighty and is super quick. Not afraid to make the attacker’s hits look like cake. Loved watching her highlights because she doesn’t let anything hit the floor and has a pretty nifty serve. Finished with 470 digs in her first year as the starting varsity libero.
Sophie Steinbrueck Sophie Steinbrueck 5'4" | DS/L Seckman | 2026 State MO – 5’4” – Seckman
Sophie was a fun libero to watch. A very active defender who is all over the court getting any ball she can. Passing extremely well and is a natural defender with a nice flat float serve. Sophie finished the season with 437 digs. Can’t wait to see how much better she gets during club ball.
Jenna Cochran Jenna Cochran 5'2" | DS/L Pattonville | 2026 State MO – 5’6” – Pattonville
When I watched Pattonville last year Jenna did a great job playing libero. This year was no different. Jenna finished with 399 digs and plays with the program’s two best six-rotation hitters in program history. She is quick and smart defensively, but her passing is what stands out the most for her. Jenna will have to play a much bigger role defensively next season. I’m sure she’s up for the challenge.
Alle Case Alle Case 5'5" | OH Smith-Cotton | 2026 State MO – 5’5” – Smith-Cotton
Alle is one heck of a hitter and can do several skills that make her a huge asset to her team. She is a fantastic leaper with a great swing on either pin. Alle excels as a defender and has the potential to be a great defender at the next level. Very quick with a high volleyball IQ. Knows where to be and has the speed to chase down any ball. Finished the season with 428 digs and 176 kills.
