Class 2 Rankings

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>The defending champions still lead class 2, but a big matchup with district foe El Dorado Springs will dictate who will be the team at the top of the next rankings.</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Fair Grove Eagles 11-0</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Eagles have only lost 1 set all season and have a massive sweep of Class 4 Marshfield. The stat stuffer, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='349621' first='Brooke' last='Daniels']</strong>, leads the team in digs, assists, and aces. Undefeated and sectional foe El Dorado Springs meets FG on Thursday.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>El Dorado Springs Bulldogs 13-2</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Losing twice over the weekend in the West Plains tournament to the host school and Mountain Grove is a good loss. A rematch with Fair Grove on Thursday will give us a better idea of who should be #1 in Class 2.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>St. Vincent Indians 8-3-4</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The winners of the transfer portal go to the Indians, as the Rubel sisters have St. Vincent off and running. 2026 <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='225325' first='Kate' last='Rubel']</strong> and <strong>Alaina Cates</strong> are the top two kill leaders.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Bishop LeBlond Eagles 9-0</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>LeBlond has cruised through the early part of the season, going 23-0 in sets played. Next week, the team will play big games with Savannah and St. Pius X.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Miller Cardinals 7-3-1</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Miller's two losses were to Clever, Fair Grove, and Strafford, which are losses they should have suffered. Other than that, they have cruised through the rest of the schedule. &nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>East Buchanan Bulldogs 7-2-1</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Both losses came in five sets to Maryville and Benton. EB's date with LeBlond at the end of the month will be a significant test. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='493057' first='Rilyn' last='Sherwood']</strong> has been on a tear, with 121 kills to guide the young Bulldogs.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Hermann Bearcats 6-8</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I never underestimate the power of the Bearcats. They play as strict a schedule as possible and will take a lot of losses, but come playoffs, they are ready. <strong>Jaelee Kahler</strong> is running the offense this season and has 193 assists.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Adrian Blackhawks 5-0</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Adrian hasn't played a demanding schedule so far, but an October 1^st date with El Dorado Springs could be a turning point for Adrian. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='490128' first='Lizzie' last='Clifton']</strong> is once again leading the attack.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Lone Jack Mules 5-1</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Mules only defeated the undefeated Oak Grove Panthers in a 5-setter. No stats are listed so that no one can get some props for the fast start.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Pierce City Eagles 8-1</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There has been only one loss this season, to Lockwood. Next week, PC will face Miller in a matchup that will determine its ranking. <strong>Faron Linn</strong> and <strong>Addison</strong> <strong>Avondet</strong> are leading the team to success.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
