Making that even more impressive is that Rockford plays the best of the best week-in-and-week-out. Last week Wandel put down 28 kills in a three-set win over Grandville, hitting an amazing .561 in the process.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='844224' first='Ruby' last='Hughes'], Newaygo</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Newaygo junior is having a breakout fall with <strong>455 kills</strong>, a new PR for her in a season.

Hughes hit .368 in that win.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='462086' first='Mallory' last='Woiteshek'], Grand Haven</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 6'3” Woiteshek continues to add to her game and improve on her already strong finishing abilities.

The junior has a career-high <strong>444 kills</strong> this fall, more than doubling her previous season-high. Duncan has been super consistent with her kills, topping out at 20, but almost always in double figures.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='523843' first='Addison' last='Naplin'], Vicksburg</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Naplin has led the Vicksburg offense this fall with <strong>417 kills</strong>.
