<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Holton Wildcats hosted three matches on September 17, and Prep Dig scouted two contests.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Holton began the night by defeating the Jefferson West Tigers in straight sets.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here is a report on athletes from both squads who posted solid performances, including one prospect from each current class for Holton.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='480408' first='Tinley' last='Wilson']</strong>, 5'10”, OH, Holton, ‘27</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Wilson is an elite prospect currently ranked No. 15 overall in the class of 2027. She is a six-rotation talent for the Wildcats. She had one of the better defensive matches I have seen her play. Wilson collected seven kills, nine digs, seven serve receptions, one block, and one ace in the win. She will have a ton of experience when her high school career is over and every college coach in Kansas should check out her game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='515147' first='Elizabeth' last='Schuster']</strong>, 6'0”, MB, Holton, ‘25</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Schuster is currently ranked No. 103 overall in the class of 2025. She is a physical middle with multiple offers from NAIA and JUCO programs, but she is still uncommitted. She had a team-high eight kills in the win over Jeff West. She is quick for a player of her size and build and has a hard serve.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='659199' first='Emily' last='Ditzler']</strong>, 5'9”, MB, Holton, ‘26</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ditzler is an unranked talent, which is an oversight that will be addressed. She had a solid match against the Tigers. I saw her play for the Topeka Saints club team in 2023. She is a physical athlete who finished with four kills and two blocks in the Wildcats' win. She is an intimidating force at the net.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='567485' first='Khloe' last='Black']</strong>, 5'7”, OH, Holton, ‘28</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The surprise of the night was the Holton Freshman attacker. Black's elevator goes all the way to the penthouse. She jumps like someone gave her a hot foot! She finished with six kills and four digs. I know she is just a freshman, but she could be playing more for Holton and has a bright future. She is currently ranked No. 78 in the Kansas Class of 2028, but look for her stock to rise when the rankings are updated. With the win, Holton improved its record to 8-3.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='551804' first='Addison' last='Schwinn']</strong>, 5'10”, MB, Jefferson West, ‘26</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Schwinn is currently ranked No. 29 overall by Prep Dig Kansas in the class of 2026. Schwinn is currently uncommitted and I would recommend her to any coach who asks about her. She finished the match with eight kills, four digs, and four serve receptions. She has a power serve that resulted in two aces.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='492580' first='Lauren' last='Crotinger']</strong>, 5'8”, OH, Jefferson West, ‘25</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Crotinger is currently ranked No. 66 overall by Prep Dig in the class of 2025. She has verbally committed to play for Coffeyville Community College. She had an impressive match in the loss. Crotinger's stat line for the match included three kills, seven digs, and nine serve receptions. She also finished with two aces and has a consistent serve.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
