As a versatile six-rotation player for the Colts, she recorded 387 kills while skillfully navigating larger blocks, consistently finding ways to score. Her defensive skills are impressive, making her a valuable asset in the backcourt. She's truly a formidable player who's tough to contain.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='544666' first='Giselle' last='Stoeva'] – 6'0” – Ladue</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In the team's quest for a district title, Giselle emerged as a key player, stepping up in the absence of their top attacker. Averaging 19 kills per game during the final four matches, she played a pivotal role in guiding the team to a remarkable run to the state playoffs. By the end of the season, Giselle tallied an impressive 329 kills and 113 digs, showcasing her all-around talent and determination.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='475325' first='Leah' last='Heisler'] – 5'9” – Jefferson City</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In her two seasons on the varsity team, Leah has been instrumental in leading the Jays to two Final Four appearances. Last season marked a significant breakthrough for her, as she topped the team with 312 kills and added 268 digs, demonstrating her offensive prowess and defensive skill. Leah's contributions have been vital to the team's success.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='809602' first='Delaney' last='Fleeman'] – 6'2” – Warrensburg</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Delaney is a versatile player who excels on either pin, making her a valuable asset for Warrensburg. With a commanding presence at the net, she demonstrates impressive mobility and length, allowing her to achieve significant penetration on her blocks. I envision her as a driving force for the team, pushing hard for a district title this season. Delaney wrapped up last season with 185 kills, showcasing her offensive capability.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='485593' first='Jersey' last='Robinson'] – 5'9” – Hillsboro</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jersey had an outstanding year as an outside hitter for HPSTL 15 Royal and contributed significantly to the Hillsboro Hawks with 323 kills and 235 digs as a six-rotation player. Her powerful approach and swing enable her to rack up points consistently for her team. After an impressive club season, I anticipate Jersey will continue to excel and make a significant impact this upcoming season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='732904' first='Jordan' last='Redd'] – 6'2” – St. Michael</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>St. Michael is poised to showcase another standout talent in [player_tooltip player_id='732904' first='Jordan' last='Redd'], who is set to make her mark as a dominant blocker and an impactful opposite hitter. Last season, she recorded 226 kills and 42 blocks, and after a strong club season, I anticipate significant growth in her performance this year. Jordan's combination of height and skill makes her a formidable presence on the court.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
