2025 Rankings: Top Five Movement

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Although some of these names are the same, there was some movement and a new addition to the top five prospects in this Ohio 2025 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#1 [player_tooltip player_id='152043' first='Belle' last='Groomes'] - S/RS<br>Groomes led her AVC 17 Red team through a highly competitive club season including a USAV GJNC 17 National silver medal. She is one of the most complete athletes in Ohio with versatility, physicality, and athleticism. The San Diego commit can contribute in a lot of ways and look for her to continue adding to her numbers as a setter and attacker for SJA in her upcoming final high school season for SJA as they should be a favorite to make a deep postseason run.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#2 [player_tooltip player_id='289183' first='Christian' last='Thompson'] - OH<br>Thompson is one of the physical attackers on the left side. At 6'0, the Ohio commit can elevate and bring big heat. Her scoring ability involves relentless pressure off her arm with range, power, and at times point scoring dominance. She has some of the biggest elevation at a 10'4 jump touch and will be on display once again for Fairfield Union where she averaged 6.6 kills per set in 2023.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#3 [player_tooltip player_id='289170' first='Spencer' last='Etzler'] - DS/L/OH (*pictured)<br>A recent Stanford commit, Etzler has been a primary factor for her Coldwater team since she entered the program as a freshman. She has great tools to contribute in so many ways with ball control, defense, and as an offensive option. After watching her this club season competing with Munciana's top 18U team she has established herself as one of the best DS/L prospects. Her size at 5'8 allows her to create great range in pursuit of the ball and her movement and quickness were a big factor in helping her team's high powered offense do its thing over the past several months.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#4 [player_tooltip player_id='176099' first='Abbey' last='Emch'] - MB<br>Emch helped lead her Infinity team through a successful club campaign as they earned a 5th place finish at the USAV GJNC in the 17 USA division. The Pitt commit can play well above the net and continues to increase her impact on both sides of the ball. Defensively she fills up a lot of space above the net and on the offensive side she is proving her point score through more range across the net and through more options offensively. Will nearly 1,100 career kills for Crestview, she returns for her senior season with a career efficiency of .426.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#5 [player_tooltip player_id='152037' first='Hailey' last='Campagna'] - OH<br>With one of the most active arms in this class, Campagna can score. Returning for her senior season following a career best 7.4 k/s in 2023, the Mississippi State commit is a very difficult match up for most teams. Terminating at a .418 efficiency in 2023, she also added nearly 20 digs per match for one of the most significant stat lines. She also has over 240 aces as her arm can also score in other phases of the game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
