These athletes are discovering that volleyball is more than just a sport—it's a platform for leadership, discipline, and growth. The energy, skill, and drive coming from this class is undeniable. They're putting in the work, making a name for themselves early, and showing they're ready for the next level. These are the players already on our radar—and we fully expect to see big things from them in the years to come.    [player_tooltip player_id='763989' first='Isabel' last='Padilla'] is already making waves and proving why she belongs on our radar. I've had the chance to watch her a few times this club season, and her talent is undeniable. A true force at the net, Isabel brings an impressive vertical that allows her to rise up for tough blocks and shut down attacks from both pins and the middle. She reads opposing hitters well and reacts quickly, making her presence known on every rotation.   Offensively, Isabel is equally dangerous. Her quick transitions and ability to run fast-tempo sets make her a middle who can beat the block and find open court. Already earning a spot on the varsity roster last year, there's no doubt we'll be seeing even more from her.~Theresa @prepdigdakotas     [player_tooltip player_id='747614' first='Ainsley' last='Moseng'] is a versatile attacker already making waves at West Fargo as a right side and outside hitter. She brings a strong presence at the net, using her height and timing to challenge blockers and deliver powerful swings. Ainsley has a smooth approach and a fast arm, making her effective whether she's attacking from the front row or taking smart shots from the back row.   What sets Ainsley apart is her ability to adapt—she's comfortable switching between positions and finding ways to contribute no matter where she is on the court. With continued growth and experience, Ainsley is definitely a name to keep on your radar in the class of 2028.~Theresa @prepdigdakotas     [player_tooltip player_id='724913' first='Liberty' last='Streyle'] is a standout setter in the class of 2028 who's already making noise across the Dakotas. With elite court vision and smooth hands, she runs an efficient offense and knows how to deliver the ball in rhythm to her attackers. What sets Liberty apart even more? She's already hit her 1,000 career assists—an impressive milestone this early in her career.   Her calm presence under pressure, leadership on the court, and ability to control the tempo make her one of the top young setters to watch. Liberty's just getting started, and she's already showing signs of a future elite-level playmaker.~Theresa @prepdigdakotas     [player_tooltip player_id='742561' first='Aubrey' last='Karsky'] is a powerful and dynamic outside/rightside hitter who continues to make waves in the class of 2028. Whether she's taking big swings from the pin or finding sharp angles, Aubrey brings consistent pressure to the net. She's already showing her versatility with the ability to swing from both sides and adjust mid-play.   With her quick transition, strong court presence, and relentless work ethic, Aubrey is establishing herself as a go-to hitter. She's one to keep on the radar as she continues to rise and refine her game.~Theresa @prepdigdakotas     [player_tooltip player_id='745111' first='Paige' last='Eide'] is a standout setter in the class of 2028, known for her precision, composure, and ability to run a fast-paced offense. She's a true floor general who reads the court well and delivers clean, consistent sets that put her hitters in the best position to score.   Whether she's pushing tempo or making quick decisions under pressure, Paige brings leadership and confidence every time she steps on the court. Her strong hands and volleyball IQ make her a difference-maker — and one to watch in the coming seasons.~Theresa @prepdigdakotas    The future of volleyball in the Dakotas is bright.
