Who Hit Milestones Before Playoffs

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>This is and will be my favorite type of article: covering the players hitting career milestones. Now that the playoffs are here, the milestones will start to slow. I still have more I need to finish putting together for maybe one more milestone article. Good luck this playoff season, and if you have a player or know one who hits a milestone, please let me know.</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='735544' first='Kayla' last='Wagner'] – Setter - Houston</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kayla is a Houston player who does everything from hitting to the setting. The 2026 player passed 1000 career assists earlier this season.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Hedda Werner-Clink – Libero - Springfield Central</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Central is having a down year, but Hedda is doing all she can to help her team win. The 2025 libero is having a great season and recently passed 1000 career digs.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='237648' first='Jaden' last='Jenkins'] – Middle – Russellville</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jaden has been doing big things at Russellville since her first season. Jaden recently went past 500 kills for her career and counting. She's only a junior.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":708651,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepdig.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/10/Jaden-Jenkins-Russellville-500-Kills.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-708651" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='237807' first='Reece' last='Cook'] – Setter – Ozark</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Reece is in her third year running the show for the high-powered Tigers offense. She's been putting up big numbers each season with over 1000 assists and past 3000 assists and is currently setting with 3225. A big playoff run by Ozark, and there is no telling where she could end up in the MSHSAA record books for career assists.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":708653,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepdig.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/10/Reece-Cook-Ozark-3000-asssits.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-708653" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Sophia Huck – Setter - Ste. Genevieve</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Double mention here for Sophia. I wasn't impressed when I watched the Dragons play earlier this season. Since then, they have had a nice game-winning streak and won the MAAA and MAAA conference tournaments. Leading the way for the Dragons is Sophia Huck, who passed 1000 career assists. Sophia also broke the single-season school record for aces in a season, passing 60 aces in the conference tournament.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":708637,"sizeSlug":"full","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://prepdig.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/10/Sophia-Huck-Ste.-Gen.-Aces.png" alt="" class="wp-image-708637" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='236987' first='Kinsey' last='Barton'] – Middle - Bunker</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I've watched Kinsey play the last two seasons; she was impressive each time. Kinsey, a hard-hitting middle for Class 1 Bunker, passed up 1000 career kills during the West County Tournament. I hear she's a better basketball player than volleyball, which is pretty impressive.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Abbie Martin – Outside - Hannibal</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hannibal puts out a solid team each season and has had some outstanding players go through the program. Abbie has joined the list of great players coming out of Hannibal, having reached 1000 digs in the win over Illini West, IL.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='222581' first='Jessie' last='Hawkins'] – Libero - Festus</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Festus's program has produced great players for decades, and Jessie will go down as one of the school's best liberos once she is done. With another year to go, her career dig total will increase even more. In the team's win over Seckman, Jessie scooped up her 1000th dig, pushing her career total to 1030 and counting.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":708641,"sizeSlug":"full","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://prepdig.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/10/Jessie-Hawkins-Festus-1000-digs.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-708641" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='168045' first='Callie' last='Sutton'] – Setter - Bunker</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Callie is a four-year starter for the Eagles and has run the team's offense from day one.

She broke North Point's record for aces in a game, getting 10 to break the school record.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='493057' first='Rilyn' last='Sherwood'] – Outside - East Buchanan</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Rilyn was impressive two seasons ago at the final four and will leave with many school records. She recently broke the school record for kills in a season, passing former teammate Maya Watkins's 417 kills and currently having 1161. And she won her 100^th game at EB.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
