[player_tooltip player_id='445128' first='Emma' last='Hart'] - 2025 | OH | 17-2 The 6'0 Hart is a key factor on the left side as she can score a lot of points over the course of a match. She has good length, jumps well, and finishes with a big arm swing. Look for this Kenston High School product to get a high volume of opportunities as an outside hitter over the weekend.   [player_tooltip player_id='492632' first='Abby' last='Kolcum'] - 2025 | S | 17-2 (*pictured) A primary setter for [program_tooltip program_id='431573' first='RockCity' last='']'s second 17U team, Kolcum runs a good offense. A signature style of offense for this club is that it is varied, balanced, and fast and Kolcum is steady in her contributions as a floor leader and develop this style of attack. She prepares herself well in facing the first-touch on balance that allows her to set will a consistently high hand position and good location, especially when on the move outside the pocket.   Jillian Smetana - 2026 | OH | 16-2 Smetana is an experienced attacker having competed two varsity seasons for Berkshire earning over 230 total kills for her high school career. At 5'10 and a primary opposite option for this team, she has good flow and momentum in her approach footwork to be able to take aggressive swings from both sides of the court and out of the back row.   Emilija Ellis - 2026 | S | 16-2 Ellis is a 5'8 setter with a good skill foundation. As she can deliver the full scope of the offense with good touch and tempo, she is good on the move against the flow. She is athletic with good quickness and one aspect that increases her contributions and impact is that she has a nice arm with good timing in her jump and swing to be able to score on the second contact when in the front row.   Emma Rickelman - 2026 | MB | 16-2 As a primary middle at just 5'8 Rickelman is effective with her offensive tools. She sees her share of opportunities to swing as she tracks the ball well to be able to give herself good space. Additionally, what she lacks in size she makes up for with good court awareness and tools that include finesse and finding open space in the opposing defense to score with off speed touch.

Emma Hart Emma Hart 6'0" | MB Kenston | 2025 State OH - 2025 | OH | 17-2
