2025: The Stock Risers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With rankings updates come a lot of shifts in where athletes were previously ranked. There were a handful of athletes that jumped up a significant number of spots in the 2025 rankings.

A recent Oregon beach volleyball commit, she is a dominant sand player. But her impressive play for Marist this past high school season proved she is just as dominant of a court player. Her transition from the middle to the pin allowed her to flex her ability to play six rotations. As bouncy and athletic as they come, she was relied on heavily during the State finals to put the ball away. With a match-high 28 kills, she was incredibly efficient with 60 swings, hitting an impressive .367. While she has committed to Oregon solely for beach, if the Ducks are looking for a versatile and athletic attacker for their court team, Elgarico could definitely fulfill that role. u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65a6ed268859e"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["161865"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"u003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003ePrevious rank: #32u003c/spanu003ernrnu003ciu003eu003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003eWhy the rise? u003c/spanu003eu003c/iu003eu003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003eKaino was hard to miss this high school season for Burns High School as their lethal outside hitter. Previously playing in the middle for the Hilanders, the move to the pin was a natural transition. Playing opposite [player_tooltip player_id='244419' first='Mackenzie' last='King'], the pair made for an unrelenting offensive duo in the 3A classification. Her play was instrumental in the Hilanders 3A State championship title. For her play, she was awarded Eastern Oregon Player of the Year and 3A Second Team All-State. She is explosive, with a high vertical jump and a quick arm. Her ability to pound the ball at a multitude of different angles is impressive to watch. Unfortunately, Kaino will not be able to play this club season due to a knee injury, but she was previously slated to play for Idaho One. Until then, we will be anxiously awaiting Kaino's return to the volleyball court!u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65a6ed26885f4"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["161886"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"u003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003ePrevious rank: #37u003c/spanu003ernrnu003ciu003eu003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003eWhy the rise? u003c/spanu003eu003c/iu003eu003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003eScholl is an athlete who, with each update, continues to rise in stock. She has made drastic improvements to her game over the past year and broke into the top 20 because of this. She has an explosive approach coupled with a thunderous arm. When in the air, she is diligent about opening her hips and shoulders up to turn into the ball. Her attacking range and ability to hit a multitude of sets has grown. She has proved she can be dominant from anywhere across the front row. This past high school season, her play in the middle was instrumental in Sisters taking home a first-place trophy in the 3A State tournament. For her play, she was awarded Mountain Valley Second Team All-Leauge. With a high recruiting ceiling, Scholl will be an athlete to watch as she competes with Webfoot 18-1 this club season.u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65a6ed2688639"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["249593"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":486552,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Previous rank: #29rnrnu003cemu003eWhy the rise? u003c/emu003eRose is another athlete who has continued to make major strides in her game each season. Her freshman season she was an under-the-radar recruit, not included in our initial 2025 rankings. But by the end of her sophomore club season, she could not be ignored. For St. Paul, she was their primary offensive weapon and led them to a second-place finish in the 1A State tournament. For her play in the finals she was given the Player of the Match by Moda Health. In that match alone, she had 39 swings and converted 18 of them into kills, hitting a .308. She is aggressive in transition and always hungry to be set, adding to any team's offense mightily. She has a quick arm and fast snap on the ball that is tough to defend. She should be a major player this club season for OJVA 17-1.rnrnu003c!u002du002d /wp:paragraph u002du002du003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65a6ed26886a6"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["257582"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"u003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003ePrevious rank: #38u003c/spanu003ernrnu003ciu003eu003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003eWhy the rise? u003c/spanu003eu003c/iu003eu003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003eA surprising fact about Sinai, she did not start playing volleyball until her freshman year. So, she did not get on our radar until her sophomore season when she swung up on Westview High School's varsity team during the State tournament. To say her improvement in a little over two years has been drastic would be an understatement. She puts her athletic 6'3” frame to good use. Her ability to pivot quickly in transition and get up with a quick right left to swing at the ball is noted. The exciting thing about Steel is that her game is still coming together. Only two years in, she has so much untouched potential and showcases an incredibly high recruiting ceiling. Sinai is an athlete to keep your eye on as she plays for OJVA 17-1 this club season. u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65a6ed26886f3"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["161930"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"u003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003ePrevious rank: #147u003c/spanu003ernrnu003ciu003eu003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003eWhy the rise? u003c/spanu003eu003c/iu003eu003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003eAinsworth was late to get on our radar. But was hard to ignore by the end of this past high school season. She ran a 5-1 for Marshfield, leading them to the 4A State finals. After watching her play more, we knew she had to move WAY up our rankings.  With a soft touch and a quick, high release, she moves the ball around the court effortlessly. She displays a natural hand strength, finding her pin hitters from great distances across the court. At 6'1”, she sets across the front row with ease, becoming incredibly offensive. With so much untapped potential, she gives glimmers of Texas setter freshman phenom Ella Swindle. I am eager to see Ainsworth compete at a very high level, playing for NPJ 17-1 National this club season. u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65a6ed2688736"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["161906"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Previous rank: #90rnrnu003cemu003eWhy the rise? u003c/emu003eWith Miller being named the Coastal Player of the Year, we knew we had to give this six-rotation setter a better look. Running a 5-1 offense magnificently, she shouldered a major load this high school season for Corbett. With active feet, she is very mobile and runs down and passes off the net with ease. She does a good job involving her middles in the offense, especially in transition. After swinging up to Athena 16-1 at the end of last club season, she officially joined the returners from that group as they aged up to become Athena 17-1. This club season should be a big one for Miller; with the opportunity to compete and play at a higher level, she should make some major strides in her game.rnrnu003c!u002du002d /wp:paragraph u002du002du003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65a6ed268878b"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["161835"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Previous rank: #42rnrnu003cemu003eWhy the rise? u003c/emu003eMoving up to the #2 right side in the state, Wagstaff is an athlete who continues to improve and impress. Standing at 6'1”, she has a tall and strong frame. With a heavy left arm, she is a natural fit on the right side. But the offensive load she shouldered for Grant High School this past season proved she could swing from any position across the net. She was given a PIL First Team All-League nod for her play for the Generals. She creates very nice attacking angles for herself to rack up kills all over the court. Her blocking is formidable, fronting the opposing hitter and pressing back into the court. Wagstaff has proved to be a threat both offensively and defensively. Skill aside, she brings tons of positive, infectious energy to the court, hyping her teammates up and having a blast competing.rnrnu003c!u002du002d /wp:paragraph u002du002du003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65a6ed26887e9"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["257589"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Previous rank: #49rnrnu003cemu003eWhy the rise? u003c/emu003eAfter watching Rapp command the backcourt for NPJ 16-1 National last club season, her need to rise in the rankings was an obvious one. This past high school season, she continued to turn heads as the starting libero for McMinnville High School. She received Pacific Second Team All-League for her play. She is disciplined and technical with her platform, delivering settable passes and digs more often than not. Her ability to convert even the toughest of swings into a settable dig is noted. Her fast reflexes and quick reaction time are on full display when on defense. She remains calm, cool, and collected on the court, not getting rattled easily. From the service line, she brings a tough jump float that garners plenty of aces and service disruptions. Returning to NPJ this club season, she should take on a similar role for the NPJ 17-1 National team.rnrnu003c!u002du002d /wp:paragraph u002du002du003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65a6ed2688845"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["394075"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"u003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003ePrevious rank: #66u003c/spanu003ernrnu003ciu003eu003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003eWhy the rise? u003c/spanu003eu003c/iu003eu003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003eButler was a fairly under-the-radar recruit coming into last club season but continued to impress us each time we watched her play for CCE 16-1. Her play in the middle was a major factor in the team's 2nd-place finish at CEVA Regionals in the 16U division. For South Salem, she was instrumental in their deep playoff run and 6th place finish at the 6A State tournament. Playing opposite [player_tooltip player_id='236033' first='Malena' last='Mathis'], the pair made for an unrelenting offensive and defensive duo. For her play, she was awarded Central Valley Second Team All-League. She is a productive blocker, moving laterally well on a swing block to shut down opposing pin hitters. On the attack, she displays an explosive approach and a quick arm swing. For club season this year, she will be sporting a G3 jersey playing for the 18-1 team. u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65a6ed268888c"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Other athletes with significant movement in the rankings:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='161920' first='Addi' last='Knight'] #144 → #55</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='161852' first='Alyssa' last='Baird'] #74 → #56</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='161861' first='Ashelyn' last='Stanley'] #105 → #57</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='248860' first='Katie' last='Brewer'] #126 → #59</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>—</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We can support these amazing athletes by sharing articles with family, friends, fans, and coaches.
