<p>April is here! The final month of qualifiers is upon us and teams are working hard to either earn a bid or upgrade from one previously won. The Show Me Qualifier hits Kansas City this weekend and I have five players from the Show Me State to keep an eye on.</p>

<p><strong>Anna Hogan - Setter - 2027 - Pohaku 15-1/Blue Springs South</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Hogan is a freshman setter who was able to contribute a little in her first season of high school ball. She tallied over 100 assists in less than 30 sets on the season. Hogan is one of the setters on the Pohaku 15-1 team and a player who has many positive attributes.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='487567' first='Khloe' last='Heberle'] - Libero/DS - 2027 - [program_tooltip program_id='428799' first='Rockwood' last='Thunder'] 15 Elite/St. Dominic</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>If you want to see some tremendous defensive play, find the court [program_tooltip program_id='428799' first='Rockwood' last='Thunder'] 15 Elite is playing on and look for number 4. She is already in my opinion one of the top 2027 defenders in the state with her ability to read defenses and make plays on some explosive balls.</p>

<p><strong>Kamyrn Hinnenkamp - Setter - 2026 - Invasion 16-1/Liberty North</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The reason we want you to keep an eye on Hinnenkamp is she's one of the more intelligent setters I've seen this year. She will feed the hot hand and not get fancy by going away from what's working. She also is sneaky on the second ball over and will quickly drop one over her head to the open spot on the floor. </p>

<p><strong>Isabella Sohl - Setter - 2026 - HPSTL 16 Royal/Rock Bridge</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>It looks like the setters are getting the love today and they are worthy. Sohl, out of Rock Bridge is another dynamic setter. Her confidence is evident on the court with some of her sets to the pins and she does it effortlessly. She is very athletic and a difference maker on the court. </p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='261299' first='Grace' last='Blacklock'] - MB - 2025 - Club North 17 Karen/Northland Christian</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Blacklock is a player who continues to improve each time out. She has good court vision when she's in the air and knows where to find the open space on the court. She gets off the floor fast and makes it tough for the defense to get a touch on her swings. </p>
