The All-Deck Team: Kansas 2025 Club All-Stars

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>For me, at least the Club season has wrapped up and I am working on scheduling college camps and combines to attend for all three sports that I scout for Prep Network.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In honor of the club season, and the many athletes I watched play, I will create four All-Deck Teams from this club season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here is the first All-Star squad which features athletes from the Class of 2025. The only requirements I gave myself were that I had to have seen each athlete play at least one club match this season, I limited myself to a team of 10 athletes, and I could only choose two players from the same club team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='221517' first='Jordyn' last='Washington']</strong>, 5'10”, MH, Andover Central, (Shockwave 17-1)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Washington is a beast and can take over a match at the net. I watched the Shockwave a couple of times this club season.  The Andover Central middle hitter recorded six kills and one block in one match I scouted. Prep Dig Kansas currently has Washington ranked No. 8 in the class of 2025 rankings.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='519098' first='Kara' last='Feist']</strong>, 5'11”, MH/RS, Great Bend (Central Kansas Rampage 17-1)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I caught the Central Kansas Rampage late in the club season and one player who stood out was the lefty Feist. She is ranked No. 42 overall by Prep Dig. She had one kill, one block, and one dig in the match I scouted. Feist is currently ranked No. 42 overall in the Kanas Class of 2025.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='219726' first='Ella' last='Bolan']</strong>, 5'8”, DS/RS, Silver Lake, (Topeka Saints 17-1)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I saw the Saints play multiple times this season and she is the glue to that squad and on her high school squad in Silver Lake. She can play solid defense and hits the ball with authority. Bolan is currently ranked No. 23 among her Sunflower State peers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='493494' first='Olivia' last='Nicoli']</strong>, 5'10”, OH, Bishop Carroll, (KS Networks 17-1)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Nicoli had one of the most impressive matches that I saw this season. She racked up eight kills, 12 serve receptions, and eight digs in a weekend match I scouted. She is an athlete who competes with poise and composure. Prep Dig Kansas has the Bishop Carroll prospect ranked No. 98 in the class of 2025 rankings.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='219722' first='Kinzie' last='Perdue']</strong>, 5'11”, OH, Arkansas City, ([program_tooltip program_id='515463' first='Air' last='Capital Aces'] 17-1)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Arkansas City prospect was tied for the team lead with six kills in a match I scouted. She is a bouncy athlete who can also play some solid defense. The Aces hitter is currently ranked No. 64 in the most recent player rankings published by Prep Dig.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='275626' first='Kennedy' last='Behnke']</strong>, 5'10”, OH/MB, Ellinwood, (Central Kansas Rampage 17-1)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Behnke was the last hitter I added to his group. It was a very difficult decision and she got the edge because of her athleticism and versatility. She also plays in a part of the state that does not get as much attention as I would like it to. She is dangerous as both an attacker and a blocker. Behnke is currently ranked No. 59 overall by Prep Dig.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Delaniee Dexter</strong>, 5'7”, S, Eisenhower,  (KS Networks 17-1)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Dexter recorded an eye-popping 21 assists in one of the matches I saw her play this season. She plays on a loaded club team with lots of hitting options. The club game allows her to show off her skills against tough competition. Prep Dig currently has Dexter ranked in the No. 32 overall slot.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='219715' first='Campbell' last='Chabot']</strong>, 5'6”, S, Seaman, (Topeka Saints 17-1)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I saw Chabot play multiple times during the club season and the high school season. She has a nice touch and moves quickly. She can play solid defense and gains exposure by playing on winning high school and club teams. The Viking prospect is currently ranked No. 28 overall by Prep Dig.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='173400' first='Chloe' last='Traffas']</strong>, 5'3”, DS/L, Attica, (Shockwave 17-1)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Traffas is my favorite player from the club season and would get my vote for any all-star or MVP awards. She is a tough-nosed libero who gets to balls that many other liberos would not get a finger on. If not for club ball, I am sure I would have never seen her play. Club ball has grown by leaps and bounds since I last coached high school volleyball and being able to discover players like Traffas is why I scout club ball. Traffas is currently the top-ranked DS/L in her class and is ranked No. 13 overall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='219724' first='Lauren' last='Welch']</strong>, 5'8”, DS/L, Maize ([program_tooltip program_id='515463' first='Air' last='Capital Aces'] 17-1)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Welch makes consistent first passes and tallied nine digs and four serve receptions in a match I scouted. The Maize Eagle prospect had committed to a college program just the day before I scouted her club team, and she was playing like she had some extra energy and pride from having done so. Welch is currently ranked No. 89 overall by Prep Dig and will be attending St. Olaf to play for the Oles.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Honorable Mention: <strong>Kory Anschutz</strong>, Skyline, (Pratt Impact 17-1); <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='219727' first='Alana' last='Brewster']</strong>, Silver Lake, (Topeka Saints 17-1);<strong> [player_tooltip player_id='219951' first='Katja' last='Blanchat']</strong>, Smoky Valley, (KS Networks 18-1); <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='515587' first='Isabelle' last='Bowman']</strong>, Kinsley, (DC Extreme (17-1); <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='493491' first='Tori' last='Buss']</strong>, Wichita North, (Shockwave 17-1); <strong>Teegan Canady</strong>, Valley Center, (KS Networks 17-1); <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='521830' first='Elle' last='Davis']</strong>, Trinity Academy ([program_tooltip program_id='515463' first='Air' last='Capital Aces']);  <strong>Reese Daughtery</strong>, Bishop Carroll, (KS Networks 17-1); <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='697325' first='Ryann' last='Eastes']</strong>, Pratt, (Pratt Impact 17-1); <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='515567' first='Lauren' last='Edeal']</strong>, Shawnee Mission West, ([program_tooltip program_id='430200' first='KC' last='Power'] 17-2); <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='519096' first='Cassie' last='Ellegood']</strong>, Great Bend (Central Kansas Rampage 17-1); <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='515580' first='Marlie' last='Fanning']</strong>, Leavenworth, ([program_tooltip program_id='430200' first='KC' last='Power'] 17-2); <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='493530' first='Taylor' last='Foxworthy']</strong>, Olathe Northwest, (adidas [program_tooltip program_id='428889' first='Dynasty' last=''] 17-2); <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='173377' first='Lily' last='Gray']</strong>, Sterling ([program_tooltip program_id='515463' first='Air' last='Capital Aces'] 17-1); <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='153936' first='Jillian' last='Gregory']</strong>, Maize South, <a>(</a>Shockwave 17-1<a>)</a>;  <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='220101' first='Kaitlyn' last='Gordon']</strong>, Andover, ([program_tooltip program_id='515463' first='Air' last='Capital Aces']); <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='465558' first='Cali' last='Honeyman']</strong>, Nemaha Central, (Topeka Saints 17-1), <strong>Alex Huffmire</strong>, St. James Academy, ([program_tooltip program_id='430200' first='KC' last='Power'] 17-2); <strong>Addy Irwin</strong>, Great Bend, (Central Kansas Rampage 17-1); <strong> Amya Kador</strong>, Blue Valley Northwest, ([program_tooltip program_id='515466' first='Pohaku' last=''] 17-1); <strong>Kenzie Mcartor</strong>, Clearwater, (KS Networks 18-1<a>);</a> <strong>Brynn McGillicudy</strong>, Mill Valley, ([program_tooltip program_id='515466' first='Pohaku' last=''] 17-1); <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='493369' first='Sophia' last='Plotnikov']</strong>, Olathe Northwest, ([program_tooltip program_id='515466' first='Pohaku' last=''] 17-1); <strong>Kenzie Preisner</strong>, Spearville, (Southern Plains Thunder 17-1); <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='499217' first='Harlee' last='Randall']</strong>, Flint Hills, (Shockwave 17-1); <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='219737' first='Bella' last='Reid']</strong>, Hayden, (Topeka Saints 17-1); <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='493370' first='Prayer' last='Roebuck']</strong>, Neodesha, (Shockwave 17-1); <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='173383' first='Leah' last='Russell-Bova']</strong>, Olathe West, (adidas [program_tooltip program_id='428889' first='Dynasty' last=''] 17-2); <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='515585' first='Malasy' last='Sakounlaphoum']</strong>, Olathe East, ([program_tooltip program_id='430200' first='KC' last='Power'] 17-2);<strong> Sadie White</strong>, Cimarron, (Pratt Impact 17-1); <strong>Jessica Sayler</strong>, Lawrence, (Lawrence Landsharks 17-1); <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='338557' first='Myiah' last='Soderberg']</strong>, Washburn Rural, (Topeka Saints 17-1); <strong>Konli Sterling</strong>, Pratt, (Pratt Impact 17-1); <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='493402' first='Lily' last='Waters'], </strong>Derby, (KS Networks 18-1); <strong>Kinley Willhelm</strong>, Seaman, (Topeka Saints 17-1);<strong> [player_tooltip player_id='261104' first='Brylynn' last='Wicker']</strong>, Paola, ([program_tooltip program_id='428889' first='Dynasty' last=''] 17-2); <strong>Hannah Willeford</strong>, Blue Valley West, (adidas [program_tooltip program_id='428889' first='Dynasty' last=''] 17-2); <strong>Ava Whiteing</strong>, Olathe West, ([program_tooltip program_id='428889' first='Dynasty' last=''] 17-2);<strong> [player_tooltip player_id='493417' first='Aubrey' last='Wisker']</strong>, Salina South, (Shockwave 17-1).</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
