The Blue Valley North prospect plays club ball with the Mid America Mavs. She did not compete at the varsity level last season for the Mustangs. I watched some of her video highlights from this club season on HUDL. She has a long reach, and her elevator goes all the way to the penthouse.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='693940' first='Kodi' last='Trimble'], </strong>5'3”, S, Oswego, ‘28</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One Southeast Kansas talent in the Kansas Class of 2028 will be making a significant jump up the rankings next week.

She unofficially led all freshmen last season in aces with 83 in 87 sets played. She dished out 451 assists last season to Indian Attackers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='753174' first='Grace' last='Hargrove']</strong>, 5'8”, OH/S, Maize South, '29</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>After the Class of 2028 Rankings are updated next week, the first rankings for the Kansas Class of 2029 will be published the following week. Hargrove will be included in those rankings. I saw her compete at the Keeper of The Plains tournament back in February for the Shockwave 14-2 squad. I was impressed with her athleticism and ability to contribute as a defender and attacker.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
