Her play speaks for itself as she raises the skills of her hitters.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='782946' first='Catie' last='Jilek'], Portage Central/FaR Out: </strong>One of the many setter/hitter combo players on this list, Jilek has made a name for herself nationally as a player that can take over a match with her setting or her attacks. She's got tremendous pacing and highly accurate under pressure.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='741882' first='Georgia' last='Addleman'], Parma Western/Team Pineapple: </strong>A 6-footer, Addleman brings a lot of athleticism, but also a lot of physicality to the position. She plays aggressively and with a lot of enthusiasm that carries over to her team. She's definitely an impact player.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='777145' first='Andersyn' last='King'], Harper Creek/FaR Out: </strong>King has been thrust into a leadership role from the moment she stepped into Harper Creek and she has handled it well. She plays with a lot of poise and communicates very well. Her touch and court vision are also among the best in the group.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='991164' first='Delainey' last='Buchanan'], DeWitt/Legacy: </strong>Buchanan is one to watch as she has a high ceiling for where she can take her game. She's got a great mix of athleticism and footwork that can bring her skills to another level as she keeps getting reps against top competition.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='850401' first='Avery' last='Geer'], Frankenmuth/Michigan Elite: </strong>Geer brings the intensity and determination you like to see in a leader. She plays with a lot of confidence and has continued to evolve and add new skills to her toolkit. She isn't afraid to take chances and has worked hard to be deceptive with her play.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='888944' first='Stella' last='Whirley'], Salem/Michigan Elite: </strong>Another long setter/hitter combo player, Whirley does a good job of mixing up where the ball goes and keeping the defense on its heels. She's another prospect that has a high ceiling for where she can take her game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1023745' first='Reagan' last='Cooper'], Walled Lake Northern/Legacy: </strong>Cooper brings a balanced game to the court, as she can also make some key defensive plays and tough serves while running an offense. Cooper is able to excel thanks to her good footwork and court vision.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='919979' first='Alexis' last='Crawford'], Gull Lake/Dead Frog: </strong>Crawford is a natural athlete that can play anywhere on the floor. She's putting the ball away on both pins while also being a setting option that can push a fast pace. Crawford is also disruptive at the net defensively.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1023744' first='Delaney' last='Efthemiou'], Dakota/Michigan Elite: </strong>Efthemiou stays light on her foot and shows great footwork. Along with her ability to set at a high level, she's one of the top defenders in this group. She can easily slide into the back row and be a defensive leader if needed.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
