2025 Rankings Update: Setters

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The setters from the class of 2025 get a closer look, focusing on those included in the last Rankings Update. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='253254' first='Annika' last='Wright']</strong> and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='249381' first='Peyton' last='Ensign']</strong> sit in the top two setter spots in the rankings; both have been excellent during the club season. The group of setters is strong overall in the rankings, with 7 in the top 30 and excellent athletes up and down the 37 setters ranked overall. Most importantly, this group sets a hittable ball- and that's the number one task for all setters when you get down to it. After that, height, athleticism, defense, serving, attacking, leadership, etc., begin to separate players in the rankings. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/position-ranking-table {"name":"acf/position-ranking-table","data":{"class":"2025","_class":"field_65cfb7374abb9","position":"32561","_position":"field_65cfbfcb19ad6","national_rankings":"0","_national_rankings":"field_660c1d73c0e49","state":"29309","_state":"field_65cfb88a603fe"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65f8ef35c444b"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["249189"],"_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":"Berry is leading the charge for her Central Region United 17 Max team.
