<p>The Blackhawks have a big outside in Lizzie, and she did most of her damage on the left pin, finishing with 414 kills. She's a hard player to stop because of a mean line shot, and she can see the defense making adjustments to take advantage of holes. After helping run a 6-2 her first season last season, she moved outside and was a beast.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='232218' first='Rilyn' last='Conard'] – 5'9” – Bishop LeBlond</strong></p>

<p>Rilyn has been a mainstay on the outside for the Eagles and helped her team make the final four last season. She has a smooth and powerful swing with a ton of topspin. She doesn't leave the court and plays above her age. It should be exciting to see if she can lead her team back to the final four, which will be in her hometown of St. Joseph's. With 686 kills, the 1000-kill plateau is within reach this season.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='490133' first='Marli' last='Perkins'] – 5'9” – Steelville</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Perkins doesn't play for a big-time volleyball program, but she will leave the Cardinals as one of their best players. She is a hard-hitting left pin who sees the block exceptionally well and uses this to her advantage. Marli does some of everything on the court and could be a significant pick-up for a JUCO.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='735534' first='Gloriaha' last='Farmer'] – 5'7” – Portageville</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A high-flying outside with a vicious swing helped her team make the state playoffs last season. Gloriaha is a six-rotation outside who plays excellent defense and is a solid passer. She has all the tools to be on the next level. She hammered 252 kills last season and will be the primary offensive weapon this season.</p>

<p><strong>Lauren Roth – 5'7” – Lone Jack</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Lone Jack has been knocking on the final four doors for several years. They lost a big-time talent, and Lauren is waiting for her time to shine. She has all the tools you want with a six-rotation pin hitter. Lauren has no problems getting kills, but her defensive and passing abilities set her apart.</p>
