[player_tooltip player_id='152062' first='Kaylie' last='McIntosh'] The 6'2 McIntosh is part of the 10' touch club and uses that athleticism well to score on the left side. She continues to prove herself as one of the top pins in this class given her size, athleticism, and improved quality of her arm and defense at the net. The Hope College commit competes for OPVC and helps to create some good balance in their attack as they are dynamic in the middle and the pins with McIntosh providing some of the best net presence on both sides of the ball.   [player_tooltip player_id='289168' first='Layne' last='Graffice'] A 5'10 left side attacker, Graffice competes for NOVA and is terminating the ball at a high rate. The Marlington product had a career best 392 total kills for a 4.5 k/s average for the Dukes that also includes a 48% kill rate and .389 efficiency. She's a prolific scorer with power and range and complements her point scoring ability with a full six-rotation skill set. Graffice, a DII 2nd team all-Ohio selection, is simple in her passing movement and uses her length to defend well out of the back row.   [player_tooltip player_id='445119' first='Viola' last='Syverson'] We have seen Syverson play more this season on the right side as opposed to the middle where she was previously evaluated. Her added length at 6'4 make her a great option at opposite. She can attack and defend high as she has some of the best length in this class. She continues to develop her footwork and arm swing but has shown great improvement overall including her movement and aggressiveness on both sides of the ball. With a 10'3 approach touch, Syverson has a high ceiling to her game. She competes for Rogue this club season.   [player_tooltip player_id='445133' first='Sophie' last='Burkey'] Burkey has big scoring prowess as the Perrysburg product led the Yellow Jackets offensively in 2023 with a 4.2 k/s average. This is career best average for a season as she also earned a .253 efficiency through high volume of work. She and her team finished 18-8 overall. She competes for the top 17U team with TVC and assumes a high workload as well during the current club season. The 6'0 Burkey has good all-around skills and can score equally as well at the net and from the back row.   [player_tooltip player_id='445123' first='Ava' last='Buddelmeyer'] Buddelmeyer was the All Northwest District Player of the Year at the conclusion of the 2023 high school season. The Findlay product competes for the top 17U team for Premier Academy as a primary left side attacker. Her 273 total kills for Findlay were a career best for a season as she has earned similar numbers all three seasons boasting a career average of 3.3 k/s. She also added a career best 9.5 d/m. She can develop good pace on the ball and is a savvy attacker as she can mix speeds to display movement and finesse off her arm.
