<p>Setters are the floor generals and run the show. A really good setter can make mediocre teams good...and the good teams GREAT. However, becoming an exceptional setter doesn't happen overnight. It takes years to develop really good, effective setters. They need time to not only perfect their own skills but also need exposure to high level competition in order to learn things like which set to make, which location to set it to, how to isolate their attackers, and which situation requires each. The following players have been identified in MN's Class of 2028s as up and coming setters that are soon to be standouts on the court...if they aren't standouts already.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Chisholm had a great volleyball season with a 16-8 record. Much of this was due to freshman setter [player_tooltip player_id='522439' first='Hennessy' last='Temple'] running a 5-1 offense and dishing out 600 assists on the year. Temple is smart, reads the ball well, and does a great job getting the ball to her hitters in transition. Temple is headed to [program_tooltip program_id='449749' first='Northern' last='Revival'] this club season where she will play up two age divisions with the 17u team. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Berran has already seen a significant amount of tough competition in her young years prepping at Eagan and playing the club scene at Northern Lights. Thus, it is no wonder she plays at a much higher level than her age indicates. She is quick, has an excellent setter IQ and makes great set decision, and sets well out of system. Berran is one to watch this season as she plays with NL 15-1.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Maciej had a phenomenal year at Elk River this past fall racking up 143 kills, 44 aces, and dishing out 360 assists. She has clean footwork, great hands, excellent court vision, and the strength to reverse the ball against the flow isolating her attackers. Maciej is also a lefty which makes her ceiling even higher as a setter. I am sure she will showcase a trick or two this club season with those amazing setter attacks/dumps that are so fun to watch by aggressive, left handed setters like herself. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">In a rebuilding stage, Rochester Century built an offense around freshman setter Stellmaker. While Stellmaker can be seen setting balls to her attackers, she was most popular for the success she found this high school season distributing carefully placed setter dumps and attacking out of system balls from the backrow. She is clearly offensive minded and is constantly looking for ways for her teammates and herself to score. She will be an asset this club season as she brings her talents to the 15-2's team at NL's.</p>
