Final 2025 Rankings: Five Stock Risers

The top 31 positions stayed the same, but there was some movement throughout the rest of the other 203 players on the list. These five proved to be significant ones.    Pollard (pictured) has the complete package and will look to improve on it before going to the University of the Cumberlands despite battling an injury sustained during basketball season. Pollard sees blocks and angles her body to where she can hit around or even above them with raw power. Pollard makes things happen in the middle and at the pins with her size. Pollard also uses her size to control the net with good timing on her blocks. She makes a quick pass on defense then makes a quick transition to offense. Pollard had 499 kills, 47 solo blocks, 50 combined blocks and 165 digs to help the Patriots go 31-10, win the 53rd District championship then win the 14th Region championship and drive to the state quarterfinals for the first time in program history.     On a daily basis, Fraddosio produced when the Jaguars needed a kill. Fraddosio tried to be an example to the returning East Jessamine players with a first-year head coach. She has great court instincts and the club and high school staffs try to take advantage of them. Fraddosio takes great approaches to balls and puts solid power into them. Fraddosio also makes good passes on defense then transitions to offense quickly. Fraddosio had 287 kills and 214 digs for East Jessamine this past fall.     Miller puts smooth touches on her sets allowing hitters to put sound power into balls. Miller mixes things up well adding in back sets without leaning to avoid tipping off blockers where balls are going. Miller also played sound defense for the Patriots. Miller had 659 assists and 171 digs helping Knott County Central go 31-10 with a 53rd District championship, the first 14th Region title in school history and the first state quarterfinal appearance in program history.     Teague had two of the most powerful hitters in the 12th Region to set to and she made sure they got their swings in. Teague knows the power spots and sets them up well. She has a unique setter dump. Instead of the usual straight over the net on the right side, Teague taps balls backward or forward to the sides to land kills. Teague had 949 assists, 173 digs and 71 aces helping Boyle County go 30-10, win a third straight 45th District championship and drive to the 12th Region championship game.     Lambert may have flown under the radar some because the Wolverines play in the tough 41st District. Lambert helped Western Hills go 17-15 for the first winning season since 2020. Lambert uses her size well taking short steps toward the net then balls go flying off her hands. She is tough all over the net. Her cutter is tough to dig up. Lambert has consistently shown she can put balls down on sound defensive specialists. Lambert recorded 442 kills and 128 digs for the Wolverines as a senior.
