As we move through the rankings, these next athletes stepping into the Top 10 have continued to separate themselves with their performance, consistency, and impact on the court.   What stands out about this group is the way they compete. Each player brings a unique skill set to the floor, but they all share the same qualities—strong work ethic, a competitive mindset, and the ability to elevate their teams in key moments. College programs are already paying close attention to the development of this class, and these athletes are a big reason why the Dakotas continue to gain recognition across the region.   Let's take a closer look at the next names rounding out the Top 10 in South Dakota's Class of 2027.    [player_tooltip player_id='730569' first='Madie' last='Munch'] – Setter (Ranked #6 Overall & #1 S in SD Class of 2027 | Uncommitted)   [player_tooltip player_id='730569' first='Madie' last='Munch'] has firmly established herself as the top setter in South Dakota's 2027 class, and her ability to control the tempo of a match is what immediately stands out when evaluating her live. Munch runs an offense with poise and precision, consistently delivering clean ball location while keeping attackers in rhythm across all rotations. Her hands are quiet and efficient, allowing her to disguise her distribution and move opposing blockers laterally.   What makes Munch particularly appealing from a recruiting standpoint is her ability to run a balanced offense under pressure. She shows excellent decision-making when reading defensive alignment, knowing when to accelerate tempo through the middle, stretch the block to the pins, or deliver a back set that isolates the right side. Even when passes pull her off the net, Munch maintains body control and delivers hittable balls that keep the offense productive.   Beyond the technical aspects of her game, Munch brings leadership that every coach values in a setter. She communicates constantly, organizes her offense, and carries a calm confidence that keeps teammates composed during high-pressure moments. With her court awareness, distribution skills, and leadership presence, Munch projects as a setter capable of managing a collegiate-level offense. ~Theresa @prepdigdakotas     [player_tooltip player_id='739052' first='Kennedi' last='Boomsma'] –Rightside Hitter (Ranked #7 Overall & #1 RS in SD Class of 2027 | Uncommitted)   [player_tooltip player_id='739052' first='Kennedi' last='Boomsma'] has developed into the premier right side attacker in the state, bringing a powerful offensive presence and strong blocking ability to the position. From the right pin, Boomsma attacks with authority, generating impressive arm speed and a high contact point that allows her to score effectively both line and cross-court.   Her offensive impact goes beyond raw power. Boomsma shows a strong understanding of shot selection, using the block well and finding seams when defenders begin to shift. She is capable of terminating in system but also remains effective when the play breaks down, adjusting to off-speed balls and still delivering aggressive swings.   At the net, Boomsma provides an immediate defensive presence. She closes the block well against opposing outsides and presses her hands across the net to seal line and force attackers into low-percentage swings. That two-way ability—scoring from the right side while anchoring the block—makes her an especially valuable recruit.   Boomsma's physicality, competitiveness, and continued development make her a right side attacker who projects well into the college game, particularly in systems that value offensive production and blocking strength from the opposite position. ~Theresa @prepdigdakotas     [player_tooltip player_id='892497' first='Braxton' last='Nedved'] – Setter (Ranked #8 Overall & #2 S in SD Class of 2027 | Uncommitted)   [player_tooltip player_id='892497' first='Braxton' last='Nedved'] continues to establish herself as one of the most dynamic setters in South Dakota's 2027 class. Nedved plays with confidence and tempo, delivering consistent ball placement while pushing an offensive pace that forces defenses to stay constantly in motion.   Her ability to create offensive opportunities in transition is one of the more impressive aspects of her game. Even when the pass pulls her outside the setter zone, Nedved re-establishes balance quickly and delivers balls that allow hitters to stay aggressive. She distributes well across all attacking options and continues to develop strong connections with both pins and middles.   Nedved also brings a competitive edge that energizes her team. She plays with urgency, communicates clearly with her hitters, and shows a willingness to take control of the offense when the match tightens. As she continues refining her decision-making and offensive rhythm, Nedved projects as a setter who can thrive in a fast-paced collegiate offense. ~Theresa @prepdigdakotas     [player_tooltip player_id='759549' first='Alaina' last='Wolff'] – DS/L (Ranked #9 Overall & #2 DS/L in SD Class of 2027 | Uncommitted)   [player_tooltip player_id='759549' first='Alaina' last='Wolff'] has emerged as one of the most dependable defensive players in the state, consistently anchoring the backcourt with composure and discipline. Her ability to read attackers and anticipate swing angles allows her to position early and control difficult digs that many defenders struggle to handle.   Wolff's serve-receive is one of the most polished elements of her game. She maintains a strong platform, absorbs pace effectively, and delivers passes that allow setters to run the full offense. Her consistency in that phase of the game is a major asset, particularly for teams that rely on strong serve-receive systems.   In live play, Wolff's range and pursuit stand out. She tracks tips, adjusts to off-speed shots, and consistently extends rallies through hustle and defensive awareness. Her communication and reliability give her team confidence defensively, making her the type of backcourt player that college programs value for stabilizing serve receive and defensive systems. ~Theresa @prepdigdakotas     [player_tooltip player_id='578407' first='Lila' last='Johnson']– Outside Hitter (Ranked #10 Overall & #3 S in SD Class of 2027 | Committed: University of Oregon)   [player_tooltip player_id='578407' first='Lila' last='Johnson'] rounds out the group as another highly capable setter in South Dakota's talented 2027 class. Johnson runs an offense with steady control and consistent tempo, giving her attackers reliable ball location across the court.   Johnson shows a strong understanding of how to manipulate a block through distribution. She spreads the offense well, involving both pins while continuing to develop quick connections through the middle. Her calm presence allows her to maintain offensive rhythm even during extended rallies or broken plays.   Defensively, Johnson remains active and engaged, covering hitters and transitioning quickly into the next phase of play. Her composure, work ethic, and continued development at the position make her a setter with strong potential moving forward. As she continues to refine her offensive tempo and leadership at the position, Johnson remains a setter college programs should continue tracking closely in this class. ~Theresa @prepdigdakotas    <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Thank you to all my readers for making this journey possible.
