We had talent from the east side to west side, Northern Michigan and then down to the southwest pocket. </p>   <p>UWM Sports Complex was oozing with talent from every position. We're going to be breaking it down through every position. Last, but most certainly not least, let's talk about some BOSS liberos!</p>   <p>This field of athletes in the Michigan 250 was absolutely STACKED at the libero position. The littles were out in full force on Sunday and showing off what makes them so great! Take a look at some of the best of the 'bros in the gym at the Top 250! </p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='490347' first='Sydney' last='Shannon'] </h2>   <p>[player_tooltip player_id='490347' first='Sydney' last='Shannon'] is just continuing to shine brighter and brighter the deeper we get into her career. Coming off of a huge fall with Forest Hills Northern, Shannon had a very nice outing at the PD250. Shannon brings a fun energy to the court that is infectious to her game.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='535359' first='Delaney' last='Fillman']</h2>   <p>She's another player that just brings the fire every she steps on the court. [player_tooltip player_id='535359' first='Delaney' last='Fillman'] makes the game so much fun to watch with not only her skill, but with her on-court presence. Fillman's vocal leadership is huge and she's so consistent with her defensive pick ups. </p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='216201' first='Cara' last='Wolf']</h2>   <p>This is another really promising defender from West Michigan. Personally, it has been quite some time since I have seen [player_tooltip player_id='216201' first='Cara' last='Wolf'] in action. Needless to say, I am extremely impressed with her overall improvement. She commands the court like you'd want in your starting 'bro and she is a scrappy defender. </p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='226877' first='Olivia' last='Beaudrie']</h2>   <p>Coming off of a season playing the majority of her time in the MIDDLE, [player_tooltip player_id='226877' first='Olivia' last='Beaudrie'] has not skipped a beat in the back court. This is one of my favorite defenders in this 2026 class. She's so quick and relentless in her pursuit and has recently developed a sense of poise to her game as well. She's returning to the high level club world this coming season with Athlete HQ, which I am excited to follow. </p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='514728' first='Brooke' last='Price'] </h2>   <p>[player_tooltip player_id='514728' first='Brooke' last='Price'] is a player that came onto my radar back in August when she wowed the crowd at the Stock Up Showcase. A few months have passed and Price is continuing her ascent into the conversation of 'Top Bros in Michigan'. She's developing a nice controlled touch that make a difference in the team setting.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='470701' first='Zoey' last='Kapeller']</h2>   <p>The biggest thing that sticks out about [player_tooltip player_id='470701' first='Zoey' last='Kapeller'] is her size advantage over her fellow 'bros. Standing near 5'10-5'11, Kapeller could easily be a solid outside attacker. But I am loving to see her development as a back court player. Her length can come up clutch is so many ways and she's beginning to come into her game quite nicely since the last time I saw her. </p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='587009' first='Kaitlyn' last='Koceski']</h2>   <p>I knew this player was poised for a huge fall after her appearance in the Freshman showcase in August, and she had just that. An impact DS for the Novi Wildcats, it was exactly what Koceski needed to really boost her game another notch. Use to seeing the biggest of arms, I was pleased to see Koceski's ability to control the ball on the toughest of swings/serves.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='454374' first='Addison' last='Nostrandt']</h2>   <p>This may be one of the quietest players you will find across the 250 field. [player_tooltip player_id='454374' first='Addison' last='Nostrandt'] is silent but very deadly. Where she doesn't speak out loud, she screams in her play on the court. Nostrandt is coming off of a big fall that saw her as 1 of 9 freshman named to the All-State lists in Michigan. The 250 was another reminder of why she is one of the top incoming defensive players in her class. </p>
