From setters running smooth, fast-paced offenses to outsides and middles hammering balls in system, and defenders flying across the floor to keep rallies alive, these athletes showed why they're among the top players in the state. Every rep looked like a statement as they battled through drills and live play, proving they can match the speed, IQ, and intensity of the region's best.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It's no surprise these athletes are landing on college coaches' radars.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["722409"],"_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-688053c52e6f1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The top-ranked outside hitter in North Dakota's 2027 class, [player_tooltip player_id='722409' first='Peyton' last='Saxlund'] made her presence felt at the St. Cloud Big Dog Clinic. Offensively, she combines a high volleyball IQ with sharp shot placement, consistently finding seams, tooling the block, and scoring in transition. In the back row, Saxlund was just as impactful—reading hitters early, covering seams, and turning tough digs into playable balls to keep her team in system. Her ability to control the game in all six rotations cements her as one of the state's premier prospects.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>~Theresa @prepdigdakotas</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["724985"],"_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-688053c52e752"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The No. 2 outside hitter in North Dakota's 2027 class, [player_tooltip player_id='724985' first='Aurey' last='Morris'] brought undeniable power to the St. Cloud Big Dog Clinic. Morris is a true terminal threat, elevating and delivering heavy swings that challenge even well-formed blocks. She thrives in both system and out-of-system situations, using her athleticism to score from tough angles and extend rallies when needed. Her physicality at the net and ability to generate points make her a major offensive weapon and one of the state's top impact players.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>~Theresa @prepdigdakotas</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["724922"],"_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-688053c52e799"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='724922' first='Makayla' last='Amundson'] stands out as North Dakota's top setter in the 2027 class, orchestrating offenses with precision and pace.
