This class runs deep and is stacked with a lot of talent from top to bottom.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Let's take a look at 5 stock risers in the 2025 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='156340' first='Addison' last='Williams'] - South Lyon East/Legacy</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Despite a minor mid-season injury this club season, [player_tooltip player_id='156340' first='Addison' last='Williams'] has continued to bring the heat all season long. Whether she is on the right side or in the middle, she finds key ways to contribute and is very much an unsung hero for the 17-1 Adidas squad. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='472798' first='Cassidy' last='Pratley'] - Harper Creek/Midwest Select</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>From an unknown product out of Battle Creek to a Western Michigan bound, Under Armour Next Invitee; I have a feeling that we will be hearing from [player_tooltip player_id='472798' first='Cassidy' last='Pratley'] for quite sometime. A high level attacker that continues to grow, she is one of the most exciting, untapped pieces in this class due to her raw athleticism.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='261206' first='Sarah' last='Bradley'] - Everest Collegiate/Unified</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>After going on a historic run in the 2023 HS post-season with Everest Collegiate, [player_tooltip player_id='261206' first='Sarah' last='Bradley'] has been continuing to make her moves throughout the club circuit. Heading up a rather solid Unified squad, Bradley continues to shine as that gritty six rotation outside hitter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='156285' first='Tina' last='Barnekova'] - Adams/Michigan Elite</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>After moving from the middle to the outside, this player has been making huge strides. From her first contact to her third contact, [player_tooltip player_id='156285' first='Tina' last='Barnekova'] has become a staple for 17 Elite at Michigan Elite. Despite her size, at 5'9, Barnekova makes up for this with clever ball placement and heavy shots.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='261190' first='Makayla' last='Credit'] - South Lyon East/L2</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Throw this player in just about any situation and she'll shine in just about any of them. [player_tooltip player_id='261190' first='Makayla' last='Credit'] made the jump from a 3s team as a middle to the 1s team as a pin at L2, ever since this jump, she's been thriving. Her athleticism and versatility offer up so much and she's able to capitalize on any opportunity given.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
