From game-changing defenders in the back row to explosive hitters at the net, these players have put in the work and continue to elevate every time they step on the court.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"className":""} --> <p>What's most exciting? Many of these names will be making waves at the collegiate level soon.

Molly had an incredible school season, surpassing <strong>1,000 career digs</strong>, showcasing her defensive dominance and unshakable court presence.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"className":""} --> <p>But don't let her back-row brilliance fool you — Molly is just as dangerous at the net. She delivers with <strong>strong, smart attacks</strong> and knows how to swing with confidence and control. Her ability to transition quickly and stay aggressive makes her a dual threat every time she steps on the court.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">With a recent commitment to <strong>Valley City State University</strong>, Molly is set to take her high-impact game to the collegiate level — and we can't wait to see the impact she'll have next.<strong>~Theresa @prepdigdakotas</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["724814"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67f67cd0dc622"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Standing at a powerful 6'0", <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='724814' first='Mya' last='Bloedow']</strong> has earned her spot as the <strong>#1-ranked middle blocker in North Dakota's Class of 2025</strong>—and for good reason. She's a dominant force at the net, known for shutting down big hitters across all three front-row positions. Whether it's a solo block or closing out a tight rally, Mya shows up with consistency and grit.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A relentless worker, Mya brings energy and leadership every time she steps on the court.
