Tournament Preview: MO/KAN Jamboree At Washburn

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Fans of volleyball looking to see some high-level talent this weekend need to head to Washburn's Lee Arena.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>On June 12, sixteen teams from the Midwest will compete in the MO/KAN Jamboree a one day-tournament that begins with Pool Play matches beginning at 8:50 a.m.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here is a preview of some of the loaded field which consists of state powers Seaman, Spring Hill, Circle, Beloit, and a total of 10 teams from Kansas.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Stay tuned to Prep Dig for coverage of this event as well as the two-day tournament at Washburn that begins on Saturday.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='349383' first='Maggie' last='Moulden']</strong>, 5'11”, MB, Seaman, ‘25</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Moulden is an athlete I am quite familiar with, but I still don't think I have seen her best game. Seaman lost one of their top hitters from a year ago, so I want to see if Moulden steps up and becomes more involved in the offense. She is currently ranked No. 113 overall. Seaman opens Pool A play against Nixa, MO, at 8:50 on Court 1.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='563027' first='Molly' last='Martin']</strong>, 5'7”, OH, Hays, ‘25</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Martin is an outside hitter from Hays I hope to catch tomorrow. She is coming off back-to-back seasons with 200-plus kills. The Indians begin Pool A action with an 8:50 match on Court 2 against McPherson.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='489345' first='Brooke' last='Doile']</strong>, 5'9”, MB, McPherson, ‘26</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>McPherson's squad was decimated by missing pieces when I ran across it last at Butler, so I am looking forward to hopefully seeing Doile and her Bullpups teammates Friday. Doile is ranked No. 47 overall in the class of 2026 and is coming off a sophomore season with 230 kills.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='733198' first='Taylor' last='Bolling']</strong>, 5'8”, OH, Wellsville, ‘27</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Wellsville is a team that I have not seen play in person. They are a very young team coming off a losing season, so they are the wild card in this event. Bolling finished second on the team in kills as a freshman with 122. Wellsville starts its tournament with a Pool A match against Johnson County Central on Court 4 at 8:50.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='219714' first='Ayla' last='Klingenberg']</strong>, 6'0”, OH, Rock Creek, ‘25</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Rock Creek's Klingenberg is currently ranked No. 26. I have yet to see the Six-Footer play in person, so she is high on my list of athletes to scout. She is coming off back-to-back seasons with 300-plus kills. Rock Creek opens Pool B play against Circle at 9:30 am on Court 2.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='493434' first='Katelyn' last='Paul']</strong>, 5'9”, OH, &nbsp;Circle, ‘25</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Paul is currently ranked No. 147 overall by Prep Dig. I saw some of Circle's younger players compete at a tournament at Butler Community College. I hope to see the Thunderbirds varsity lineup in Topeka.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='493461' first='Sydney' last='Buscher']</strong>, 5'10”, S, Spring Hill, ‘25</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Buscher will get the chance to play in front of potential fans of her future college team. The Spring Hill setter is verbally committed to Washburn. Spring Hill opens Pool B play at 9:30 on Court 1 versus Beloit.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='493498' first='Jaidyn' last='Follis']</strong>, 5'5”, S, Beloit, ‘25</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Picking just one Beloit Trojan to feature is a difficult task. Follis is ranked No. 53 overall by Prep Dig. I want to see how her skills compare to the other elite setters who will be at the event.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='489761' first='Dylan' last='Nichols']</strong>, 6'1”, MB, Ottawa, ‘26</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It's been a hot minute since I have seen Ottawa play. I am looking forward to scouting Nichols and the Cyclones. She recorded 58 total blocks and 234 kills as a sophomore. She is currently ranked No. 105 in the class of 2026. Ottawa opens up Pool B Play at 9:30 against Valley Heights on Court 3.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='557767' first='Ava' last='Smith']</strong>, 5'9”, OH, Valley Heights, ‘26</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I saw Smith play earlier this summer in Abilene. She is currently ranked No. 53 in the Kansas Class of 2026. She is athletic and explosive. Valley Heights is in a tough pool and I want to see how Smith performs against elite talent.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
