Class 5 Middles Starting Strong
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Emma Hlavsa – 6'2” – Opposite - Oakville</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Oakville brings in a newbie who goes on a tear each season, and this season, Emma is up. We need to watch Emma because she plays both middle and opposite and puts up a big block on the right pin.</p>

<p><strong>Elise Pfeiffer – 5'11” - Howell</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Elise might be a little undersized in the middle for Class 5 but you know she can play if she is starting at Howell. She's quick to the pins to close the block, and her transition is fast and smooth. A defensive middle, she has almost as many blocks as kills, with 14 and 16, respectively.</p>

<p><strong>Audrey O'Neill – 6'1” - Nerinx Hall</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Whatever you do, don't overpass with Audrey at the net. She will hurt you. She's a long 6'1”, and what I mean is she plays a lot bigger than her listed height. Audrey helped her team sweep Villa with 12 kills on .562 hitting.</p>

<p><strong>Kenzie Gardner – 6'0” - Oakville</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Last year, she was used more defensively on the net. This season, Kenzie will be asked to play a more significant role offensively. With 36 kills, she is halfway to her kill total from last year. Oakville will have another great season if she can rack up 100+ kills and add more blocks than the previous season.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='493069' first='Myah' last='Derossett'] – 5'11” - Westminster Christian</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Myah is making the most of her final season wearing the blue and white for Westminster. She's hit above .500 in three matches this season and currently is hitting .385 with 53 kills and 14 blocks.</p>

<p><strong>Logan Rubel – 5'10” – Howell Central</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Logan is no stranger to big matches, and over the weekend, she showed her talents, finishing the first-weekend tournament with 33 kills and hitting .205. She is a little undersized for a Class 5 middle but is highly effective using her speed, high IQ, and vertical to make quick work of her opponents.</p>
