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>Let's see who has the lucky numbers for this month's edition:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>48. [player_tooltip player_id='455952' first='Sofie' last='Williams'], OH Oakland Christian/Legacy</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Williams just keeps getting better with more reps. Her swing is showing even more power, as her finish has picked up even more tempo. Williams covers a lot of ground at the net, allowing her to make a wide variety of shots, while placing the ball all over the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>68. [player_tooltip player_id='454376' first='Blair' last='Russow'], DS/L Bedford/Legacy</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Russow has put some great reps on film this club season. She's showing the ability to stay in good position and not get caught off guard by many attacks. Russow keeps her hands low to be ready to pull off a quick dig at any moment. She's making big strides as a player.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>71. [player_tooltip player_id='523832' first='Charley' last='Romeo'], RS Northville/L2</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Romeo is improving as a finisher on the right side. She shows good trajectory on her attacks, able to take out-of-system balls and still put good pace on them. Romeo stays focused on the ball and sizes up her swing well, but can start to trust in her instincts more and play a little looser on the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>152. [player_tooltip player_id='762765' first='Natasha' last='Harvey'], MB Mercy/Club Xtreme</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Harvey is a young middle prospect with a high ceiling. She's got great length and an impressive vertical, allowing her to make some thunderous kills at difficult angles. As Harvey gets more reps at a high level of play, she's going to make a big impact in the rankings.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>44. [player_tooltip player_id='442977' first='Demi' last='McCoy'], OH Country Day/Michigan Elite</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>McCoy has all the tools to be a great six-rotation outside. She's got tremendous agility and athleticism, but also plays with composure and focus. McCoy has displayed that she can be a defensive standout on top of being an offensive threat. As she gets more primary reps, it should tap into an even stronger performance.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>20. [player_tooltip player_id='454359' first='Elise' last='Biermann'], OH Eisenhower/Michigan Elite</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Biermann had a strong sophomore season end due to injury, but it should be a great comeback story next fall. The 5'11” Biermann was one of the most impactful sophomores in Michigan last year, showing a lot of maturity and a well-balanced game for Eisenhower.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>8. [player_tooltip player_id='490373' first='Kate' last='Colosky'], MB Portage Central/FaR Out</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This 6-foot middle has caught a lot of eyes in the last year. It's hard to ignore her play when she's on the court because she plays with a lot of speed and can put the ball down in the blink of an eye. Already with impressive length and footwork, her tempo is setting her apart from others.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>122. [player_tooltip player_id='490377' first='Coco' last='Bossardet'], RS East Grand Rapids/MVA</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bossardet is listed as a right side, but we've seen her play from either pin and finish with a solid success rate. At 6'0”, Bossardet is able to climb the ladder and play the ball over the top of blockers. She's shown she can get hot at the net and become difficult to slow down.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>85. [player_tooltip player_id='742021' first='Addison' last='Naplin'], MB Vicksburg/FaR Out</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Naplin stands 5'10”, but brings an upright swing to the net with quick arm speed that allows her to power through blockers on a frequent basis. Naplin can really uncork the ball, but she's adding smart, high-IQ shots into her arsenal as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>33. [player_tooltip player_id='442967' first='Addison' last='Stepp'], DS/L South Lyon East/Legacy</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Stepp is a standout defender that has had a lot of big-match experience to rely on. She's got a lot of maturity and composure for a 2027 libero, and there isn't a mistake you will see her make twice. Stepp is comfortable in a fast pace and is one of the best in the state when it comes to serve receive.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
