<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='540290' first='Janaya' last='Weitkemper'] – 6'0” - Middle - Battle</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Wichita State commit has a monster season with more kills this season than all of last. Her biggest match was a 3-1 win over Eldon, where she had 32 kills on 67 attempts for a .358%. Then she helped Battle beat Helias for the first time, finishing with 25 kills. Janaya has Battle off to its best start at 12-1-2.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='170043' first='Addy' last='Rebmann']- 6'0” – Outside - Lebanon</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Addy is having a monster season with several 20+ kill games so far. The bombing outside finished with 30 in a loss to Camdenton, 23 in a loss to Webb City, and 28 in a five-set win over Republic last week. Lebanon has a complete player in Addy.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='168035' first='Reagan' last='Nelson'] – 6'0” – Outside – Pattonville</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Holy cow! 38 kills on 95 attempts in a 5-set win over Lutheran St. Charles. This 38-kill performance would put Reagan at #5 in kills in a match in the MSHSAA record books. Reagan has rewritten the record books for the Pirates—a tremendously talented athlete.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='170047' first='Danielle' last='Moore'] – 6'2” – Opposite – Francis Howell</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Moore is a deadly opposite for the Vikings. Not only is she a tremendous attacker, but she also puts up big blocks. During a five-set win over Ft. Zumwalt West, Danielle finished with 34 kills on 81 attempts and added two blocks.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='475339' first='Shaye' last='Witherspoon'] – 6'3” – Outside – Lafayette</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>You will hear this name for the next two years as she is already so good, but with the leadership at Lafayette and during the club season, she will develop into one of the top athletes in the nation. The 2027 outside hitter slammed 26 kills on 50 attempts with a .400% hitting percentage in a 4-set win over rival Eureka.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='412866' first='Taylor' last='Johnson'] 6'2” – Outside – Parkway North</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I watched Taylor play last week and was impressed with her ability to pass and play defense, but her hitting is a wow factor. The Vikings' hammer finished with 31 kills in a five-set win over Hazelwood East.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='169896' first='Ellie' last='Witthaus'] – 6'0” – Outside – Incarnate Word</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ellie has been outstanding this season and is being asked to lead the Red Knights offensively and doing it exceptionally well. During the team's 4-set win over Westminster, Christian Ellie would put down 30 kills on 58 attempts while hitting .431. Impressive!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
