Here’s how it works: I’ll pop up a random number generator that includes the 2024 rankings. I’ll generate 10 numbers and the 10 that come up will be the ranking of the player. I’ll then spotlight those players in the article to help give them some more attention.
There’s 130 players ranked in our Class of 2024. Let’s see who has the lucky numbers this month:
127. Brittney Sting Brittney Sting 5'2" | DS/L Valley Lutheran | 2024 State MI , DS/L Valley Lutheran/Michigan Elite
Sting has been looked solid for Michigan Elite this club season. She’s put up some big dig numbers and a number of her digs are directly leading to kills. She’s got accurate first contact and looks very in control when taking on the ball.
34. Karley Pretzer Karley Pretzer 5'10" | OH Dakota | 2024 State MI , OH Dakota/Michigan Elite
Pretzer has been a go-to arm for Michigan Elite 18 Mizuno this club season and she’s been coming through at a high rate. Her dynamic ability allows her to finish anywhere along the net and do so with a quick and powerful swing that generates great power.
37. Jaelyn Hall Jaelyn Hall 6'1" | RS Bedford | 2024 State MI , RS Bedford/Premier
After a solid fall with Bedford, Hall has been a steady produce for Premier volleyball in Ohio. The left-handed arm has been terminating from both pins and she shows the ability to read blockers well and adjust her shot accordingly.
111. Monique Diehl Monique Diehl 6'2" | MB Grass Lake | 2024 State MI , MH Grass Lake/Michigan Elite
A 6’2” middle, Diehl is a very imposing player on the floor. She’s able to get a lot of hands on attacks defensively, forcing hitters out of their comfort zone. On the attack, Diehl comes down over the top of the ball and creates a lot of sharp angles with her attacks.
14. Audrey Geer Audrey Geer 5'10" | OH Frankenmuth | 2024 State MI , OH Frankenmuth/Legacy
The Manhattan commit has been working hard to add small details to her game, but her intensity and competitiveness are already at a college level. Geer plays with a lot of fire and her explosiveness on her swing is as great as anyone in the class.
54. Alana Deshetsky Alana Deshetsky 5'8" | OH North Branch | 2024 State MI , OH North Branch
The heart and soul of the North Branch championship program is headed to Ferris State next fall. Deshetsky is a player that you never have to question her drive or competitiveness. She gives her all each point and can impact the game in all phases with a well-balanced skillset.
3. Isabelle Swiercz Isabelle Swiercz 6'2" | OH Hudsonville | 2024 State #110 Nation MI , OH Hudsonville/FaR Out
The Miss Volleyball finalist is going to be a Central Michigan Chippewa later in 2024. This club season Swiercz continues to display her lighting-fast swing on the outsides, while showing more consistency as a finisher from the back row. Her defensive play is catching up to her offensive ability.
12. Kate Maley Kate Maley 6'1" | RS Skyline | 2024 State #153 Nation MI , RS Skyline/Legacy
Maley (Loyola) really raised her game in the last year, as she was challenged to take on a big role increase at Skyline. That has continued into club season with Legacy, where she has shown a balanced attack from every area of the floor. Maley is technically smooth in her delivery and her court IQ is near the top.
25. Taylor Smaka Taylor Smaka 5'4" | DS/L Grand Haven | 2024 State MI , DS/L Grand Haven/MVA
Northern Michigan has a veteran defender coming into the program. Smaka has been a big part of the Grand Haven program for many years and she now has become part of the foundation of the Rise Academy portion of MVA. Her calm demeanor on the floor is backed up by high-level serve receive and passing. She’s faced all the top hitters and isn’t going to be caught off guard by anything.
61. Isabella Edwards Isabella Edwards 6'0" | MB Croswell-Lexington | 2024 State MI , MH Croswell-Lexington
Edwards had a really impressive season for Croswell-Lexington. The 6-foot middle has good elevation off the floor and puts together a tight and upright swing that leaves defenders with little time to react to the shot. Edwards is an aggressive blocker as well that provides a lot of high-energy plays to her team.
