2027 Top Class 2 Middles

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='485567' first='Tandee' last='Hiser'] and [player_tooltip player_id='732882' first='Kylee' last='Dubray'] – Butler</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Tandee and Kylee combined for 754 of the team's 1031 kills this season, and if you watch these two hammer the ball, you will understand. Both are hard-hitting middles who also play six-rotations. Tandee is more skilled than Kylee, but Kylee is a brute at the net attacking. The duo finished the season with 642 digs and were two of the best passers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='732886' first='Makayla' last='Altenthal'] – 5'8" – Woodland</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The once proud program is back on the upswing and features one of the better middles in Class 2 in the SEMO area. Makayla has played every set since the start of her first season. She finished the season with 270 kills and is another six-rotation player. Keep an eye out for Makayla's improvements this offseason as she increased her kill total from last season by 126.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='485624' first='Andrea' last='Dieckman'] – 6'0" – Cole Camp</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Andrea is one of the top middles in Class 2 for the 2027 class. Her big and strong middle, great vertical, and high contact point allow her to hit around the block relatively easily. She is still raw, but the upside to her game is off the charts. Andrea hammered 234 kills and finished with 82 rejections. Her potential for the next level is there.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Lydia Jones – 5'9" – Belle</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Belle wants to turn the program into a district title contender, starting with the Jones sisters. Lydia is the starting middle and led her team with 159 kills. The all-conference performer will be key for Belle's success in&nbsp;the next two years.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Lilly Oliver – 6'2" – Twin Rivers</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Lilly is a raw player with everything needed to play at the next level. At 6'2", she has the height to be an imposing blocker. She led all middle blockers in Class 2 for the 2027 class with 143 blocks, a 64-block increase from last year. Lilly is also a big-time basketball player, so her future is at the next level, whether in volleyball or basketball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Bailey Coman – 5'10" – Mid-Buchanan</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>MB will be a tough team next season. They have a ton of youth who lead the team in just about every offensive category. The 5'10" middle finished with 89 blocks to go with her 146 kills. The 89 blocks were the second-highest number for blocks in Class 2 for the 2027 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
