<p>The Class of 2025 is winding down its time in Michigan, but there's still time to highlight some of the great talent in our Prospect Roulette.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Here's how it works: I'll pop up a random number generator that includes the 2025 rankings. I'll generate 10 numbers and the 10 that come up will be the ranking of the player. I'll then spotlight those players in the article to help give them some more attention.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>There's 235 players ranked in our Class of 2025. Let's see who has the lucky numbers this month:</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>179. [player_tooltip player_id='489473' first='Julia' last='Gramlich'], S/RS SMCC/Athlete HQ</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Gramlich brings 6'2” size to the floor which is certainly a lot to deal with for opponents. She plays high at the net and has the ability to turn on the ball. She's been well-coached in a strong high school program and is still bringing out new aspects of her game, playing her club ball in Ohio.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>33. [player_tooltip player_id='231189' first='Josie' last='Noble'], MB Caledonia/MVA</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The Caledonia product really exploded in the last year. A 6'2” middle committed to Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Noble shows tremendous agility at the net. She's active and aggressive, and her growth in confidence is allowing her to take over matches.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>29. [player_tooltip player_id='261174' first='Kaylin' last='Schroeder'], S Bedford</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Schroeder got a great opportunity to play with Division 1 college talent at Bedford in recent years, and it brought a lot out of her game. An Eastern Michigan commit, Schroder has great connections with her middles and has been a standout defensive player.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>66. [player_tooltip player_id='473958' first='Julia' last='Rodriguez'], MB Frankenmuth/Michigan Elite</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A 6-foot middle that has improved a lot in recent seasons, Rodriguez has a future with the Clarion program next fall. Rodriguez has done a good job of adapting well and learning on the fly. She's aggressive defensively and shows a high level of awareness.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>3. [player_tooltip player_id='288945' first='Victoria' last='Gray'], MB Bedford/Michigan Elite</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Gray is finishing her time in Michigan on a high note. She's coming off recently being named to the All-Tournament Team while helping Michigan Elite win an Open national title. The Indiana commit has all the tools to be a top player at the next level.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>84. [player_tooltip player_id='723141' first='Nora' last='Proos'], OH St. Joseph Our Lady of the Lake</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Proos was an absolute stud during the 2024 MHSAA Finals, as she put her team on her back and led them to a finals appearance. A great all-around athlete, Proos has big power, savvy defense, and composed leadership.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>211. [player_tooltip player_id='595976' first='Lexi' last='Champagne'], OH Cass City</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Champagne was a key piece to Cass City's success over recent seasons. She was a steady outside that came through with some timely kills and was a steady part of the defense. One of the underrated parts of her game was her serving ability.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>114. [player_tooltip player_id='236712' first='Chelsea' last='Pearce'], DS/L Mattawan/FaR Out</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A real energy player, Pearce leaves everything she has on the floor each match. She's scrappy, but also plays with focus and control. Pearce is willing to take the bumps and bruises needed to make a tough play, which provides momentum for her teammates.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>195. [player_tooltip player_id='595377' first='Gwyneth' last='VerBerkmoes'], OH McBain</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The 6'2 hitter moves really well around the floor and can play anywhere along the net. She's got a long reach, but also can hang in the air to be a very disruptive blocker and explosive hitter. She's committed to Cornerstone, where she could be a real impact player.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>17. [player_tooltip player_id='156340' first='Addison' last='Williams'], MB South Lyon East/Legacy</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A 6'2” commit to Fresno State, Williams was one of the most fierce players in this class. She really turned up her intensity over the last two years and became a dominant blocker with power most opponents couldn't contain. Williams should be one to keep an eye for success at the college level.</p>
