Class 4 – 2027 Top Returning Pins

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='485599' first='Lilly' last='McGrail'] – 5'10" – Outside – Holt</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>McGrail returns for a follow-up to a sensational freshman season. Lilly finished the season 2^nd in kills with 182 and will look to be a six-rotation outside this season. Tall and has a whip of an arm swing. The future is bright at Holt.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='485600' first='Madelyn' last='Schaefer'] – 5'7" – Outside – Parkway Central</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>After an impressive club season with HP, Madelyn's improvement will be critical for the Colt's success. She might be short, but packs a powerful punch on that left pin. Madelyn will make a move to be the top offensive threat after putting down 179 last season. No doubt she'll pass the 300-kill mark for this season with a deadly line shot.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Delaney Freeman – 6'2" – Opposite – Warrensburg</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Every coach's dream is to have a massive block on the right pin, and Delaney fills this role for the Tigers. She wrapped up a freshman season, finishing 2^nd in kills 169 and blocks 49. Delaney is a massive presence at the net and alters the game by being on the court. Once she starts playing, you will see her future at the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='475322' first='Kate' last='Sherry'] – 5'11" – Opposite – St. Pius X (Festus)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kate cracked the lineup for an offensive juggernaut and the Class 4 runner-up. She finished the season with 121 kills but could play anywhere on the court. Kate is talented and would be the go-to player on any other team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='475325' first='Leah' last='Heisler'] – 5'7" – Outside – Jefferson City</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Heisler came up big time in the final four for the Jays, racking up 13 kills in the 3rd place match and eight in the semifinals. Playing only half the season, Leah was a big reason that the Jays made the final four. She is a little undersized but more than makes up for it with her swings on the left pin. I'm expecting more significant contributions from Leah this coming season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
