2027s Impact Players

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='712327' first='Alexis' last='Schmid'] – 5'5" - Setter – Incarnate Word</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The big question for IWA was replacing the school's all-time assists leader. Alexis has the defending Class 4 champions off and running again, carrying the load to run the offense. She leads all 2027 setters with 183 assists and has IWA currently at 5-2.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepdig.com/player/kaitlyn-ahn/">[player_tooltip player_id='485616' first='Kaitlyn' last='Ahn']</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kaitlyn has run the offense for Burroughs since the start of her first year—a smooth and competitive setter running a youthful offense for the Bombers. 122 assists push her career total to 522.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='618831' first='Albany' last='Humphrey'] – 5'8" – Outside - North Point</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The play of Albany has eliminated a big question mark on the left pin coming into the season. Against Althoff, IL, at the Brace for Impact, she put up a ridiculous .727 hitting % with 17 kills in 22 attempts with only one error. MSHSAA record book.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepdig.com/player/bailey-hensgens/">[player_tooltip player_id='475326' first='Bailey' last='Hensgens']</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We are getting to see the emergence of Bailey this season. She will be relied on more this season than she was last season. Bailey already has half her kill total from last season after the first week. Expect her to end the season with 200+ kills.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='629208' first='Reese' last='Finley'] – 5'9" – Setter/Outside – Republic</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Reese will be tough for the Tigers over the next three seasons. A big leaper on the outside with great hands to help run the offense. She is another 2027 player who will put up big numbers, and her power is lethal.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepdig.com/player/rachel-buchanan/">[player_tooltip player_id='545026' first='Rachel' last='Buchanan']</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Rachel has worn a jersey of a different color this season and will be a big-time libero for Westminster. She is an athlete who can do many nice things on the court, but being the libero has made the Wildcats a way better team. First contact is vital, so WCA is in a great position with Rachel patrolling the backcourt.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepdig.com/player/olivia-davis/">[player_tooltip player_id='319804' first='Olivia' last='Davis']</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Pirates have a big opposite hitter who puts up a huge block. Olivia currently leads all the 2027 players in blocks, with 14 in the young season. Add 30 kills, and the 2027 player is off to a hot start.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
