<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As the excitement of the upcoming volleyball season builds, all eyes are on the Class 1 2027 attackers who are poised to make a significant impact on their teams. With a blend of talent, power, and skill, these young athletes have already begun to carve out their names in the sport. Whether it's [player_tooltip player_id='485590' first='Rylie' last='Schreiner']'s towering hits, [player_tooltip player_id='485602' first='Reagan' last='Tenholder']'s versatility, or [player_tooltip player_id='475335' first='Olivia' last='Kennedy']'s drive for a championship, the stage is set for an exhilarating season ahead. Let's take a closer look at the top returning attackers in Class 1 for 2027.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='485590' first='Rylie' last='Schreiner'] – 5'11” – Leopold</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Rylie had a great club season, which will help Leopold push for a return to the playoffs since 2013. At 5'11”, Rylie is a long player with a high contact point, allowing her to hit not just around the block but over it as well. Rylie returns after leading Class 1 2027 players with 323 kills.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='485602' first='Reagan' last='Tenholder'] – 5'10” – Archie</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The southpaw hits middle for the Whirlwinds and helps run the offense. She finished last year with 322 kills and 302 assists. Reagan has a lot of power and great hands, making her a next-level player who could play multiple roles, but I would like to see her play opposite.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='828319' first='Megan' last='Copeland'] – 5'10” – Ellington</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Copeland had a breakout year for the Whippets as she doubled her kill total from a freshman season to 315 last year. Megan should have another strong season this year, leading a young team with considerable potential to be a district contender.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='475335' first='Olivia' last='Kennedy'] – 5'9” – Advance</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Olivia has played for a state title in her first two years at Advance and doubled her kill total from 148 to 303 last season. Olivia is a strong middle who will have to have a monster season if the Hornets want to make another trip to the final four.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='827427' first='Mollie' last='Mannon'] – 5'8” – Bell City</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Cubs have made significant strides in the program over the last few years, and Mollie is making substantial contributions on the left pin. The six rotation outside finished up a great club season with [program_tooltip program_id='428797' first='Pursuit' last=''] and looks to help the Cubs make a return to the state playoffs. One of the top attackers in her class in Class 1 finished last year with 228 and looks for a big jump this year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='837522' first='Rylee' last='Laughman'] – 5'8” – Lesterville</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Laughman was a huge part in the turnaround last year for the Bearcats as the team made one of the biggest turnarounds in the state, going from 5 wins to 22 and a runner-up finish in districts. Laughman has the athleticism to be a big-time player and will need to have a monster season if the Bearcats wish to push for a district title.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
