More 2028 Making Impacts

<p><strong>Gabriella Quinones – 5'9" – Middle – Knob Noster</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Knob Noster lost a great player to a move and then brought in a future star in Gabriella: a high riser and hard hitter with a ton of unreached potential.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='630719' first='Samantha' last='O'Day'] – 5'4" – Libero - Lutheran</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The Cougars have the sister act; the youngest is the starting libero. You can tell she's been around volleyball for a long time. She has excellent movement, passing is on point, and will play a massive part in the Cougar's late October play.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Ava Lane – 5'9" – Opposite – Strafford</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The lefty opposite is a massive gain for Strafford this season. Ava leads her team in kills with 62 and 2<sup>nd</sup> in assists with 70. She already has a whip of a swing, so her development will be fun to watch.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='729521' first='Blair' last='Bough'] – 5'9 – Outside – Strafford</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>If Blair turns out to be as good as her coach, she will be a dandy. With 50 kills in the season, I expect a big season as a trio of 2028 players for Strafford.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='729492' first='Trista' last='Vanhorn'] – 6'0” – Middle – Strafford</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Trista has been playing more and more over the last week, and the big blocker is the finishing touches on the trio of 2028s at Strafford. She has excellent court awareness and sees the block exceptionally well. The Indians will be in the final four within the next four years. Mark it down.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='729470' first='Sarah' last='Albers'] – 6'0” – Middle – Seckman</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The Jaguars have one heck of a middle. Sarah plays varsity and leads the team in kills and blocks. You can already see the next level is in her future. She has excellent footwork, is quick, has nice vertical, and is a strong hitter. Sarah's going to be a dandy.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Gillian Pfieffer – 6'1” - Middle – Lindbergh</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Lindbergh is a young team, and Gillian plays anywhere you need her. She can hit on either pin effectively, but I liked her in the middle the most. Wherever she's asked to play, she does it 100%, and the sky is the limit.</p>
