The Stanford commit stands 6'5” but moves with a lot of ease and has an impressive vertical off the floor. Her wingspan allows her to cover tons of space and make big swings with any ball that comes her way.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='464378' first='Ava' last='Bush-Nelson'], Sr. Jenison/FaR Out</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bush-Nelson is a Bowling Grene commit and has been getting better each year with her ability to put the ball away. She's got a lot of arm speed and knows how to turn over the ball and create sharp attack angles.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='586777' first='Nemiah' last='Carper'], Sr. Roscommon/Mid-Michigan Aces</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Carper is a walking highlight reel. Each time the ball comes her way, it usually leads to a kill that turns heads. She can play well above the net, but has gotten her timing to an elite level where she can really attack the ball at full force.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='490373' first='Kate' last='Colosky'], Sr. Portage Central/Far Out</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This Long Beach State commit really springs off the floor, which leads to some unstoppable attacks. Colosky has elite agility and a really sound swing that can produce some of the most vicious attacks in the state.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='908353' first='Kenna' last='Deters'], Jr. Byron Center/FaR Out</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Deters has a long frame at 6'1” and stays really active at the net to be disruptive and explosive all at once. She's got quick reaction time combined with a technically smooth swing that leads to big power and big impact on her attacks.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='827359' first='Megan' last='Glass'], Sr. Hudsonville/Impact</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Glass, an Aquinas commit, has proven to be one of the most dominant finishers in the state, hitting well over .500 last fall. She's got impeccable timing combined with a lot of athleticism. Anytime the ball comes her way, it's a fireworks show.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='611100' first='Waverly' last='Hagen'], Sr. Ubly/Mavericks</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hagen has been able to dominate the middle for Ubly. She's got 6'1” length combined with quick feet and a nice spring off the floor. Not many in the lower divisions can compete with that package.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='881552' first='Mya' last='McKinnon'], Jr. GR Christian/MVA</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>McKinnon plays with a lot of intensity and can really take over the game with her footwork and arm speed. She's not afraid to bring the thunder against any blocker and usually wins those battles. Her shot selection and explosiveness are hard for anyone to deal with.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='768151' first='Emily' last='Nwabueze'], So. Bloomfield Hills/Legacy</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bloomfield Hills has another special athlete in the middle in [player_tooltip player_id='768151' first='Emily' last='Nwabueze']. She showed the same explosiveness and aggression people have grown to see from her older sister. Emily got better and more explosive each month and is set for a breakout fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='442976' first='Cynthia' last='Ockerman'], Sr. Brighton/Legacy</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Clemson commit has proven to be one of the top middles around the country. She moves incredibly well, has elite 6'3” length, and can unload on the ball without having to put much effort into her swing.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>**We've got a BIG SALE this Fourth of July weekend.
