<p>The top three setters in the 2027 Rankings update are [player_tooltip player_id='459079' first='Kathryn' last='Harris'], [player_tooltip player_id='473859' first='Gracie' last='Jacoby'], and Eliana Smith. Smith has made a verbal commitment to play at Western Washington and moved up in the rankings to 18th overall. This group of forty setters stretches from Southwest Washington up to Puget Sound, and across the Central region and into the Palouse. The best "skill" of this class is a willingness to compete, play with passion, and focus on what ultimately defines a setter- winning matches. </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">THREE MORE NAMES TO KNOW!</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='484156' first='Abby' last='Malley']-Spaceneedle 17 Blitz. </strong>Malley will combine with <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='492274' first='Ava' last='Urbanozo']</strong> as the setters for Spaceneedle 17 Blitz. Malley is an excellent defender and leader, with the strength to set to the pin and dig out big swings in the right back. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='473859' first='Gracie' last='Jacoby']-Aspire NW 17 Empire. </strong>Jacoby was the engine that propelled Prairie to a deep run at the State Tournament. The 5'11" Setter/RS was the top option as an attacker for the Falcons, while playing excellent defense and dishing out accurate sets. She is ranked #2 at the setter spot and #17 overall. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='501666' first='Olivia' last='Puttler']—PSVBA 17 Legacy.</strong> Now checking in at #20 in the overall class rankings, Puttler was named to the TNT All-Area squad after a tremendous season with Emerald Ridge. The fiery setter played right side and setter for the Jaguars, and was excellent both scoring and blocking at the pin. She will likely be back in a 5-1 for the club season. </p>
