The Cyclones will have to earn it as the No. 6 seed with a lot of new faces in the lineup, but the 2A field feels more wide open and ripe for upsets this year than the three larger classes above it.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hinton enters the action as the top seed after reaching the title match as year ago. The Blackhawks are worthy favorites, As mentioned, it's a deep field of teams capable of creating chaos, however. Second-seeded Grundy Center can win it all after reaching last year's semifinals. The same can be said for Beckman Catholic, Union Community and Riverside. Denver, Aplington-Parkersburg and Hudson are really good 6-8 seeds. It will be fun watching this bracket unfold.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>PREDICTIONS</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1058552,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepdig.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2026/10/Class-2A-VB-2026.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1058552" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>PLAYERS TO WATCH</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Hinton - </strong>[player_tooltip player_id='902980' first='Addy' last='Ortegren'] , [player_tooltip player_id='769009' first='Ellie' last='Friessen'] , [player_tooltip player_id='891592' first='Macie' last='Charlson']<a href="https://prepdig.com/player/macie-charlson/"></a> , [player_tooltip player_id='902966' first='Addison' last='Dunkel'] , Brynlee Boeve, [player_tooltip player_id='839027' first='Taylor' last='Derocher']. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Grundy Center -</strong> [player_tooltip player_id='891599' first='Charlee' last='Kirkpatrick'] , [player_tooltip player_id='702527' first='Ryanne' last='Brubaker'] , [player_tooltip player_id='902985' first='Jenna' last='Blythe'] , [player_tooltip player_id='839302' first='Trinity' last='Jirovsky']<a href="https://prepdig.com/player/trinity-jirovsky/"></a> , [player_tooltip player_id='797808' first='Raelyn' last='Steinmeyer']<a href="https://prepdig.com/player/raelyn-steinmeyer/"></a> , Ava Mundt. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Beckman Catholic - </strong>Isabel Kluesner, [player_tooltip player_id='791383' first='Joy' last='Burkle'], [player_tooltip player_id='955468' first='Jaylin' last='Burkle'], Addie Koelker, [player_tooltip player_id='555781' first='Addisson' last='Hogan'], Taylor Luensmann. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Riverside - </strong>[player_tooltip player_id='790364' first='Ashley' last='Kelley'], Lilli Reed, [player_tooltip player_id='913846' first='Sydney' last='Somers'], Vivian Gross, [player_tooltip player_id='913845' first='Sophia' last='Fenner'], [player_tooltip player_id='940639' first='Dakota' last='Somers']. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Union Community - </strong>[player_tooltip player_id='830328' first='Bianca' last='Grimm'], [player_tooltip player_id='754886' first='Taylen' last='Smith'], [player_tooltip player_id='730396' first='Caitlyn' last='Schneider'], [player_tooltip player_id='789782' first='Hinley' last='Mast'], Chloe Sadler, [player_tooltip player_id='760863' first='Laikyn' last='Ewoldt']. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Denver - </strong>[player_tooltip player_id='755663' first='Adeana' last='Murch'], [player_tooltip player_id='739138' first='Mackenzie' last='McEwan'], [player_tooltip player_id='965637' first='Mya' last='Herrmann'], [player_tooltip player_id='1002745' first='Brehanna' last='Murch'], [player_tooltip player_id='1003009' first='Lucy' last='Murch'], [player_tooltip player_id='773089' first='Aubrey' last='Roethler']. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Aplington-Parkersburg - </strong>[player_tooltip player_id='934818' first='Jenzen' last='Klooster']<a href="https://prepdig.com/player/jenzen-klooster-2/"></a> , [player_tooltip player_id='763037' first='Adri' last='Allan'] , [player_tooltip player_id='827792' first='Shelby' last='Arkulari']<a href="https://prepdig.com/player/shelby-arkulari/"></a> ,  Kiara Morris, Kennedy Kalkwarf,  Brylie Wangsness. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Hudson - </strong>[player_tooltip player_id='889843' first='Paige' last='Davis'] , [player_tooltip player_id='754872' first='Natalie' last='Rausch'] , [player_tooltip player_id='845682' first='Kaleigh' last='Leary']<a href="https://prepdig.com/player/kaleigh-leary/"></a> , [player_tooltip player_id='798807' first='Siri' last='Olsen']<a href="https://prepdig.com/player/siri-olsen/"></a> , Taylor Davis, Kaelyn Wolfe. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
