<p>The Class of 2029 is starting to make some serious noise! This group of pins has already given us plenty to watch. There is power, speed, efficiency, athleticism, and plenty of all-around talent throughout the list. Some are putting up big numbers. Others are showing flashes that point toward even more ahead. Either way, these are young attackers who have earned our attention!</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">#2 Etta Dresden | OH</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1019752"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ad291a7a6213"} -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A high contact point can change everything, and Dresden knows how to use hers! She gets above the ball and creates sharp angles that make defenders work.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Her approach is aggressive, too. Dresden attacks with confidence and does not hesitate to take control of a rally. She can help dictate the pace instead of simply waiting for the offense to come her way.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Then, watch what happens after the first swing. Dresden keeps moving and works to become an option again. Even when a play gets extended, she stays engaged. That effort in transition is an important part of her development. For a young pin, that willingness to keep working can open up a lot of opportunities.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">#3 Kinsley Bernum | OH/RS</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["943005"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ad291a7a6276"} -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Bernum has a knack for making blockers uncomfortable! She can change her attack based on what is in front of her, which keeps the defense from settling into one look.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Her movement is another piece that stands out. Bernum gets off the net quickly and covers ground well. As a result, she can be ready when the next opportunity comes her way.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>She also does not seem bothered when rallies get long. Instead, she continues to compete and find ways to pressure the defense. Whether she goes sharp cross, works the line, or uses the blocker's hands, Bernum has options.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">#5 Brenna Moerman | OH</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1011685"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ad291a7a62c0"} -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Efficiency is the headline with Moerman. Looking back on her most noteable stat from last season, she had a 45.4% kill percentage.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>That number is hard to overlook. Moerman does not need a mountain of swings to make an impact. She is finding ways to turn opportunities into points at an impressive rate.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Her reach gives her another advantage at contact. She can see over the block and make adjustments based on the defense. Rather than chasing the hardest swing every time, Moerman shows good offensive judgment. She knows when there is a better shot available, and that makes her attack especially interesting to scout.</p>

<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">#9 Madeline Pyne | OH/RS</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["983456"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ad291a7a6304"} -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Pyne's transition game deserves a closer look. She gets herself moving early and works to be ready before the next set arrives.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>That preparation allows her to stay aggressive when the offense is not perfect. Pyne can adjust to different locations and still find a way to attack. She does not need everything to be perfectly in system.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Her development has also been fun to follow. She has continued to grow as an attacker while adding more confidence to her game. With her physical tools and improving transition work, Pyne has plenty of room to keep climbing.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">#12 Kora Fisher | OH</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1007920"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ad291a7a6346"} -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Fisher consistently puts together 10+ kills per game, and that kind of performance gets noticed! She showed plenty of confidence as an attacker while consistently finding ways to finish points.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Her quick arm gives her a fast path to contact. Once she gets going, Fisher can put real pressure on a defense.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>What makes her even more intriguing is the six-rotation responsibility. She is not only waiting for her turn at the net. Fisher contributes in the back row, covers space, and stays involved when the ball moves away from her. That workload gives her plenty of ways to influence a match.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">#16 Paige Michaelson | OH/RS</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["932046"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ad291a7a6387"} -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Michaelson has been a steady producer all season! She continues to put up around 3–4 kills per set while also contributing in the back row. That consistency has made her a dependable option whenever her team needs a point.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>She does not disappear after the first contact, either. Michaelson stays available in transition and keeps working to get back into the offense. Meanwhile, her defensive contribution gives her another way to stay involved.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>That all-around reliability is what stands out most. Night after night, Michaelson is finding ways to contribute on both sides of the ball, making her a pin who can be counted on throughout a match.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">#18 Jojo Martin | OH</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1019113"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ad291a7a63c7"} -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Martin's volleyball story is one we are enjoying watching unfold! She has already made a name for herself through basketball, and now she is showing that athletic ability translates beautifully to the volleyball court.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Her production is getting attention, too. Recently, we wrote about how Martin has opened the season with 128 kills while hitting .318. She has since long surpassed that, and continued her consistency! </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Those numbers show more than potential. She is already finding ways to produce. Her athletic background gives her a strong foundation, but the volleyball development is becoming its own story. Martin is quickly proving she has plenty to offer on the court.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">#19 Evelyn Traylor | OH/DS/L</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["944263"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ad291a7a6405"} -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Consistency has been a big part of Traylor's game! She continues to find ways to score, even when the defense changes what is available. Instead of forcing the same swing, she reads the court and makes the adjustment.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Traylor also brings a steady level of confidence to the pin. She attacks with speed, stays aggressive, and keeps looking for the next scoring opportunity. That consistency allows her to stay involved throughout a match.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Whether she is working around the block, finding open court, or changing up her shot, Traylor continues to make smart attacking choices. She is becoming a dependable offensive option who can bring the same competitive energy from start to finish.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">#24 Abby Reygers | OH/DS/L</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Reygers brings value in every rotation. That is a big reason she stands out as a true six-rotation outside.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>At the net, she uses an explosive approach and attacks with plenty of pace. Her vertical gives her another tool when she gets to contact, allowing her to challenge the defense with confidence.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Then comes the back row. Reygers covers a lot of ground and stays composed while handling defensive responsibilities. She can help keep a rally alive before transitioning back into offense. That ability to contribute on both sides gives her game plenty of versatility.</p>
