2028 Talent Making Impacts

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='729549' first='Jaelyn' last='Jordan'] – 5'7” – Setter – Lee's Summit West</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I've said it before: The Titans always seem to have a freshman in the starting lineup, and Jaelyn will be a fantastic setter at LSW. Already a skilled setter with great hands, she runs a fast-tempo offense, is quick to the ball, and has a high volleyball IQ. Her potential is off the charts.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='543378' first='Olivia' last='Maciel'] – 6'1” - Outside – Blue Springs</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Maciel is no joke. The kid is a baller and was fun to watch during the Rockwood Tournament. She has everything going for her to be a significant player. Tall and athletic, she can do almost anything on the court, from running the offense to being a bruiser of a hitter. Keep an eye on Olivia because she will be a big-time player.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='729502' first='Dreya' last='Scherfenberg'] – 5'7” – Outside – Belton</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A tiny but mighty outside for the Pirates is helping Belton off to the school's best start, maybe in history.&nbsp; A high flyer who can do it all. An excellent passer and defender who packs a powerful punch on the left pin.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='676737' first='Violet' last='Hafer'] – 5'10” – Outside - West Plains</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With a career-high 11 kills against Sullivan, Violet is currently third on the team in kills with 53. Violet plays a significant role in the success of the Zizzers, who are currently 13-3 on the season. She has the length, vertical, and volleyball knowledge to become an outstanding outside over the next three years. Volleyball runs in the family, so you know her potential is off the charts.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Sadie Kile – 5'8” – Middle – Winona</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sadie will be the next great from the Powerhouse Class 1 program. She leads all 2028 players with 257 kills—an immensely skilled hitter who can play six rotations for the Wildcats. Sadie has excellent footwork and hits with a ton of power. Watch as she develops into a beast over the next four years.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='729539' first='Payton' last='Germann'] – 5'7” – Setter – Southern Boone</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Payton has the Eagles off to a 10-2-1 start to the season and is running the offense alone. She is an offensive setter with great hands and plays solid defense. She has a great connection with her sister, a middle for SB.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='545497' first='Jane' last='Covington'] – 5'8” – Outside – Marquette</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jane is behind some talent pins right now, but mark my word: she'll be explosive next season for the Mustangs. Hopefully, she is absorbing all she can from the upperclassmen, so she will shine next year when she's pushed into the spotlight.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
