With the conclusion of the club season came the all-important, June 15th date and so many players from this class have found themselves with their next landing spot in motion. This also was an incredible fall for this class to really come into their own in the HS scene.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Take a look below at the latest update alongside some of the biggest stock risers and new names!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/position-ranking-table {"name":"acf/position-ranking-table","data":{"class":"2023","_class":"field_65cfb7374abb9","position":"32926","_position":"field_65cfbfcb19ad6","national_rankings":"0","_national_rankings":"field_660c1d73c0e49","state":"19892","_state":"field_65cfb88a603fe"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-676f62558b675"} /--> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">STOCK RISERS</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='240701' first='Giselle' last='Burlingame'] - Northville</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This fall was absolutely huge for [player_tooltip player_id='240701' first='Giselle' last='Burlingame']. Winning a state championship aside (albeit, it is pretty nice, isn't it?), Burlingame proved herself to be a part of the upper echelon of this 2026 class. A player that has been bubbling under the surface, not only came out to play this season, but proved herself in the process.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='226877' first='Olivia' last='Beaudrie'] - St. Mary Catholic Central</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>She is just simply a jack of all trades. [player_tooltip player_id='226877' first='Olivia' last='Beaudrie'] is traditionally and will go on to play her college ball as a libero, no doubt about it. But for this player to be so versatile and so clutch in so many different ways is something not many players can say. Her athleticism, topped with her versatility and high IQ, Beaudrie could easily make a case for herself as a top rated overall player in this class. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">FRESH FACES</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='489427' first='Victoria' last='Weingartz'] - Romeo</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This is another one of those jack-of-all-trades type of player. Listed as a DS/L, [player_tooltip player_id='489427' first='Victoria' last='Weingartz'] can get down with the best of them when it comes to the setting department as well. She did a lot of heavy lifting with her Romeo squad in their 6-2 system this fall. In that she showcased a lot of potential in her defense as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='586773' first='Kianna' last='McKinney'] - Adrian Madison</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='586773' first='Kianna' last='McKinney'] really fell under the radar just to pop off with a state leading 771 digs. There is simply no court untouched when she is on your side of the net. A complete force in the back court that can frustrate the heck out of the toughest of attackers as well. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='535359' first='Delaney' last='Fillman'] - Salem</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Time and time again, [player_tooltip player_id='535359' first='Delaney' last='Fillman'] shows up and shows out. Whether it is in high school, her club team or on the Prep Dig Circuits and for whatever reason, she wasn't on our rankings. That changes today. Fillman is going into 2025 capping off a seriously impressive year and will be a big time player going forward.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
