<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='151973' first='Kameron' last='Stover'] - OH | Highland<br>One of the most prolific scorers in Ohio, Stover continued her deft point-scoring ways through Highland's opening 3-1 win over Big Walnut. With 41 total kills she averaged over 10 kills per set at a 60% kill rate and .500 efficiency. The athletic lefty has been an offensive force her entire career as she entered this, her final season, at over 1,200 total kills for her career. At 5'9, Stover can get it done with great arm control and range as she has the ability to sustain a relentless level of power and pressure on opponents over a high volume of opportunities week-to-week.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='289171' first='Morgan' last='Blasingame'] - MB | Coldwater<br>The 5'11 senior middle was phenomenal in Coldwater's first opportunities to compete. Over six total sets she earned 42 total kills for a 7.0 k/s average. Not only did she score a lot for the Cavaliers, she did it efficiently through a collective .514 efficiency. She had highs of 17 kills in a 2-0 win over Fort Loramie and a 81% kill rate on 13 terminations in another 2-0 win over over Memorial that opened their season. Blasingame has good physicality as a middle as she is athletic and moves efficiently on both sides of the ball. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='227816' first='Mia' last='Knapke'] - S | Coldwater<br>With 73 total assists over six sets, Knapke earned over 12 assists per set to lead Coldwater's offense on their opening weekend. This is a team that will rely on a couple of key arms to do the bulk of their scoring. As they are capable of handling an elevated workload with good success, Knapke will be responsible for getting them the best opportunities possible. The junior did well in their first action as this team collectively averaged 14.5 k/s on a terrific .420 efficiency. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='289170' first='Spencer' last='Etzler'] - OH | Coldwater<br>Etzler is one of Ohio's best all-around products in the 2025 class. As she tallied 25 total kills in their first action, her 4.5 k/s average was complemented by her team leading 10.0 digs per match. Her ball control and defense have been a key asset for Coldwater's effort for a while now and this Stanford commit is poised to use her skills and experience to push the Cavaliers to a successful campaign in her final high school season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='227627' first='Malia' last='Romes'] - MB | Kalida (*pictured)<br>The 6'3 junior middle opened the season with respectable numbers offensively as Kalida has opened there season at 1-1 overall. Over six sets, Romes averaged 3.7 k/s as she saw the most opportunities offensively for the Wildcats. Her length is a one of her best physical attributes and she uses it well through a variety of attack points at the pin and around her setter. She's aggressive upon contact, which has the ability to overpower the defense. Her athleticism and reach benefit her own defense as she opened the season proving her impact at the net as she already has 11 total blocks over two matches.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
