2027 – Class 3 Top Pins

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Class 3 was an open field all season long, and some of the top pins showed off their talents. A state champion and a couple of other all-state, all-district, and all-conference performances highlighted the list.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='485570' first='Eden' last='Robart'] – 5'10” – Potosi</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Eden will pave the way for next year at Potosi and return as the team's top attacker. She was fun to watch at the final four as she played a significant role in the program's success all season. The do-it-all player led all the Class 3 2027 pin hitters with 495 kills. Whatever role Eden plays for the Trojans next season, know she will be one of the top all-around players in Class 3.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='464561' first='Ziah' last='Schmutz'] – 5'9” – Mt. Vernon</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ziah is a stat stuffer for the Mountaineers. She is the team's best attacker and setter. Whether she hits on the left or the right pin, she is a big-time terminator. Ziah finished her 2nd season with 419 kills, 203 digs, and 346 assists, earning all-conference, all-district, and all-state. She will play club ball with 417 15 Elite.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='485605' first='Ryenn' last='Gordon'] – 5'7” – Centralia</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Centralia's dual-sport star is a ball on the basketball court and a deadly left-pin attacker on the volleyball court. She is undersized but makes up for it with her vertical and the [program_tooltip program_id='428794' first='Power' last=''] in her swing. She can pound it! Ryenn finished as an all-conference and all-district player, putting down 366 kills and 266 digs.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='732865' first='Peyton' last='Brandt'] – 5'9" – Monett</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Cubs have themselves a top outside hitter in Peyton, as she finished her second season as a six-rotation outside. A big, solid left-pin attacker who hits with [program_tooltip program_id='428794' first='Power' last=''] and finesse to keep the defense honest finished the season with 365 kills to go along with 259 digs. She will return as an all-conference player for the Cubs.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='488383' first='Miley' last='Layton'] – 5'10" – Pleasant Hill</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>You will hear much about Miley in&nbsp;the next few years, as she had a heck of a season for the Chicks. This year, Miley went from a middle to the left pin, and the jump in kills was one of the highest in Class 3. She went from 114 kills to 310 and was the big-time terminator for her team. Watch as she elevates her game by playing for KC [program_tooltip program_id='428794' first='Power' last=''] Volleyball Club.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='485574' first='Eva' last='Alexander'] – 5'10" – Oak Grove</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Eva is a [program_tooltip program_id='428794' first='Power' last='']ful left-side hitter for the Panthers and will be significant for them next year as she plays club for IVC 16 Black. The one part of her game I like is her ability to thread the nettle and crush the ball line. Eva has been solid as a rock for Oak Grove in her first two years and is 12 kills away from 500 in her short career.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
