Dover | 2026
State
OH
The 6’1 outside hitter averaged nearly three kills per set for Dover this past fall as she performed at a higher level all around offensively compared to her freshman season in 2022. Hanner is one of the more productive and aggressive pins added in this rankings cycle as she uses her length well to hit over the block or challenge hands. She can create good range of movement that complements her power upon contact. She was a Division II all-Ohio honorable mention selection.

Pickerington North | 2026
State

Caceras is one we will keep an eye on closely as she emerged recently on our radar. The Elite VBTC prospect is athletic and can bring power off of her arm. At 5’11, she elevates well to create a high contact point that can be tough to defend when she is in rhythm. Over the 2023 high school season she averaged two kills per set for Pickerington North. Her skill set will be fun to watch among a good club squad that will compete through a challenging schedule.

River View | 2026

Balo earned several accolades coming off the high school season including District 5 Player of the Year and all-Ohio 3rd team honors in Division II. She has good length on the pin at 6’1 combined with a fundamentally sound arm that creates torque to produce good range and power. She led River View at 5.2 kills per set through a .294 efficiency, impressive given the volume of work she saw at over 1,000 attempts. You can see her competing with Mintonette m.62 this club season.

Austintown-Fitch | 2026
State
OH
The multi-sport athlete was a key contributor for Austintown-Fitch as she averaged 2.8 k/s and 10 d/m. Folkwein is an athletic 5’8 outside hitter with quickness and elevation that helps her compete well at the net on both sides of the ball. She is aggressive with her arm in the air with the ability to score from either side of the court and can defend well as she can get up with her elbows at the tape to put good pressure on opposing attackers.

Archbishop Hoban | 2026
State
OH
At 6’1, the Archbishop Hoban prospect saw her 2023 high school effort increase significantly from her freshman season. Jones elevated her offensive production with an average of 2.5 k/s, good for second on the team overall. She maintained good presence at 1.6 blocks per match with contributions on the right side that helped their defensive effort. Jones helped guide her team to an impressive 24-1 overall record as this a squad that will have several key elements back in 2024.
