Who’s Reaching Milestones this Week?

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='237000' first='Jenna' last='Cochran'] – Libero - Pattonville</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I remember watching Jenna play her first year, and I knew she would become a tough libero. Jenna passed 1000 career digs and still has another season to play. Jenna has 1086, making 1500 career milestones within reach if Pattonville makes a playoff run.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":702003,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepdig.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/10/Jenna-Cochran-1000-Digs.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-702003" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Faith Cunningham – Middle - Pattonville</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Faith has been a big part of the Pattonville program's reemergence over the last four years. Faith is used more defensively on the net and is close to the school record for career blocks. They celebrated Faith for getting 150 career blocks in the match I was at. I'm not sure what the record is for career blocks, but Faith is inching close to the current record with 171.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='737648' first='Ashton' last='Bell'] – Outside - Fair Grove</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This Fair Grove team is stacked with athletes, and Ashton is a big part of the team's success. She played a big match during the state title match last season. She's not a libero, but she could be, as she just passed 1000 career digs. 465 career kills and 1050 make her a two-way threat.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Kaylynn Engnes – Libero - East Buchanan</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kaylynn has been the starting libero for EB for the last two years and just passed 500 career digs. Her career high is 28 in a 2-3 loss earlier this season to Maryville.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='545696' first='Mandy' last='Lawson'] – Libero - St. Dominic</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>You can't have a program like St. Dominic without some top-notch libero, and Mandy has developed into that type of libero. She is feisty with speed and a solid defender who takes up a ton of court, allowing her hitters to transition. Mandy passed 1000 career digs earlier this season and currently has 1107.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":702004,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepdig.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/10/Mandy-Lawson-Brytn-Lyon-St.-Dominic-1000-assists-and-digs.jpg?w=823" alt="" class="wp-image-702004" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='220296' first='Lexie' last='Morefield'] – Libero – Lee's Summit</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This one happened a while back, and I'm just now getting around to posting it. Congrats to Lexie on passing 1000 digs in her win over rival LSNorth. Lexie is currently at 1158 career digs and counting. 1500 is within reach, with a nice playoff run.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":702008,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepdig.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/10/Lexie-Morefield-Lees-Summit-1000-digs.jpg?w=768" alt="" class="wp-image-702008" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='485619' first='Brecklyn' last='Johnson'] – Setter – Lee's Summit</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In one season and a half, Brecklyn reached 1000 career assists and is currently sitting at 1022. Something about her playing against Staley brings out the best in her. She has a career-high 46 in a 3-2 win over Staley, and 2^nd career-high is 43 against Staley in a 3-1 win.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":702017,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepdig.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/10/Brecklyn-Lees-Summit-1000-assists.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-702017" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='477959' first='Aydia' last='Mayotte'] – Libero – Jefferson City</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I've watched Aydia play several times, and she's always been a competitive and 100% effort player. Watching her play at the Rockwood Tournament this season, I saw impressive passing and defense. Aydia passed 1000 career digs earlier this season and now has 1209 and counting. Jefferson City has the potential for another playoff run, and Aydia will be a significant player in that playoff run.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":702026,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepdig.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/10/Aydia-and-Maddie-Jefferson-City-1.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-702026" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Addison Jones – Libero - Capital City</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jefferson City has become a hotbed for volleyball players over the last few years, and Addison is another on the list of top liberos. In three seasons as the starting libero, she has passed 1000 career digs and is at 1318. 1500 is right around the corner; keep me posted, Addison.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
