<p>The Papermakers will be heading into the 2026 season with plenty of big goals. They return a lot of firepower from their 2025 state tournament team. Bri Hagglund was an upstart athlete where she collected over 300 kills. They also return high powered basketball commits in Haley Dulas (Marquette) and Ava Van Vondren (Wisconsin). [player_tooltip player_id='805698' first='Harper' last='Van Lannen'] is a dynamic attacker who can attack on the right side or outside while twin sister [player_tooltip player_id='809331' first='Finley' last='Van Lannen'] holds down the backrow. She collected over 600 digs as a junior. </p>

<p>This program has been on the up and up the past few years. They advanced to the 2024 state tournament and last year had a 25-6 record, going 6-1 in the Big Rivers Conference. They are bringing back a large core of their team. They return four attackers who had over 100 kills in 2025 with [player_tooltip player_id='733274' first='Aspen' last='Mullally'] who had over 300 kills as a sophomore and has become a rising Class of 2028 prospect for Northern Lights 16-2. [player_tooltip player_id='724555' first='Andie' last='Burns'] is a setter who commands the offense where she had over 600 assists as a junior. This will be an exciting matchup from Western Wisconsin to take on some high level competition come July. </p>

<p>The Wildcats are coming from the FVA where they have been on the rise the past few years. They did graduate a strong senior group, but still return plenty of talent for the 2026 season. [player_tooltip player_id='522525' first='Emma' last='Liebergen'] and [player_tooltip player_id='743023' first='Kayana' last='Turner'] are the top two kill returners where Liebergen had over 250 kills, good for nearly three kills per set. Addie Benesh will be one of the top middle blockers returning where she led the squad in in total blocks. </p>

<p>McFarland will be making the trip North out of Madison to the Community First Champion Center in Appleton. This is a program who is accustomed to playing a high level schedule against some of the state's best. They lost to the eventual state champions in Sauk Prairie in post season play. They have a deep sophomore (rising junior) class with [player_tooltip player_id='734118' first='Callie' last='Spanos'], [player_tooltip player_id='817446' first='Nora' last='Kolk'], and Jordyn Trott-Czebotar all had over 100 kills in 2025. With the first two contacts, they will return Talia Riemen and setter [player_tooltip player_id='755062' first='Alexandra' last='Faust'] who led the team in assists and digs. </p>

<p>In 2025, De Pere advanced to the sectional semifinals for the first time this decade and will be returning a loaded roster where they are going to be a threat in their section and in the Fox River Conference. [player_tooltip player_id='510430' first='Erin' last='O'Connor'] is a force to be reckoned with out of the middle where she is a returning 1st Team All Conference athlete. On the pins they have [player_tooltip player_id='522338' first='Mariah' last='Jeskewitz'] and an uber athletic [player_tooltip player_id='846262' first='Adeline' last='Dwyer'] who is also a basketball and soccer standout. Quarterbacking the offense [player_tooltip player_id='949346' first='Kayli' last='Raygo'] who has had a successful club season playing for [program_tooltip program_id='428591' first='FC' last='Elite'] 17 White. </p>
