<p>Regional weekend is finally upon us, and each of the four classes have plenty to offer in the way of high-end volleyball. Let's start with the biggest class of schools, where two top-ten matches happen, plus an upstart looking to continue their own Cinderella story.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">#5 Penn (30-4) v #8 Chesterton (30-4)</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>In a matchup of northern Indiana heavyweights, the usual suspects always seem to meet each other in the regional. Each have their fair share of heavy hitters, but only one will make it to next weekend's semi state.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">One of the heavier hitting pin attackers in northern Indiana, Anna loves the bright lights, and will be the main attacker for a Kingsmen squad looking to make it back to the semi state. With a high attack touch and plenty of shots in her arsenal, Miss McCullough will be the main attraction for the black and gold.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Luca's dynamic approach to the outside hitting position has been on display at Chesterton for years. The Michigan recruit is a prototypical Big Ten outside hitter; high attack point, very physical, a workhorse and having stamina to burn, Miss Bombacino's relentlessness will give fits to the Penn defense.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">#2 Westfield (26-2) v #9 Harrison (28-3)</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Although the two squads met back in late August, the two teams are playing far different volleyball since then. The Rocks haven't dropped a set in a month, while the Raiders haven't dropped a match since their loss to Westfield. Each have highly efficient attackers that will be key to their squad's victory.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">If you want high efficiency, look no further than Carsyn, the state's highest remaining hitting percentage in any class. The Louisville commit is long, lean, and nearly impossible to stop when in system. What separates her from the rest of the middles in this class is her ability to crank it up a notch when the lights are the brightest. Is this the year Westfield can make it to State? Carsyn will be the main reason why.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Although too young to receive a commitment yet, Gia is well on her way to being one of the first recruits off of the board for the class of ‘29. Her overall dynamic play, athleticism and high volleyball IQ makes her look and play at a far more mature level than her fellow sophomores. Let's not forget the fact that EVERYONE in the gym knows who's getting the ball for the Raiders, and Miss Stokes' success is all the more amazing.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">#6 Center Grove (31-4) v Brownsburg (14-15)</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Center Grove has been hovering in the top ten of 4A all season, while Brownsburg just produced the biggest upset during sectional weekend by knocking off the defending 4A runners-up (Plainfield). The Bulldogs are on an absolute heater, playing their best ball at the best time of year. The Trojans, however, have been the steady win producer all season long, including a win over the Bulldogs in four sets a month ago. This is a different squad in purple, though, and should turn out to be one of the better matches of the weekend.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Similar to Miss Stokes listed above, Miss Gilliard is a dynamic, heavy-hitting outside that can terminate from anywhere and is being asked to do more and more in each and every match for the Trojans. The offense is built around her, and her high-and-hard attitude when it comes to hitting makes the ball <em>sound</em> different coming off of her hand.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Allison's middle play has been unsung for quite some time, but this fall has REALLY opened the eyes of this author. Long, lean and athletic, Miss Bourff's commitment to Ohio University seemed inevitable by those in her inner circle. For those that aren't familiar, Allison is as good of an M1 as an M2, and will be leaned upon early and often to go against the middles of CG on Saturday.</p>
