<p>We're back at it with another incredibly strong group of juniors. I have been so impressed with these athletes not only this fall but also in the club season as well. I truly feel like I could do so many different parts and cover way more athletes. But for now, I'm sticking with my three parts. With that being said, here is part two of some of the top prospects in the 2028 class.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">My favorite thing about Amman is that you truly never know her next move. She has an amazing range and knows how to find every open inch of the court. Amman swings without fear and reads her opponents' defense extremely well. Defensively, she does her part, puts up a solid block, and manages to hold her own in the back row. Aside from her skill set, the energy Amman brings to the court makes her that much more fun to watch. Kaitlyn has been a huge help to Bettendorf's success so far this season and is still heating up. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Wauters is a key contributor to the success that CCA has had so far this season. Her versatility, height, long arms, and speed make her a real problem for her opponents.

<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='819593' first='Talulah' last='Schroeder'] is a watch list kid that I can see making her way into the rankings sometime soon. Schroeder has been impressive all season from all over the court. The kid swings hard and manages to take big rips not only on the outside but also out of the back row. Her defense is locked down pretty tight at the net and in the back row. Not only does she have an amazing skill set, but she also brings another level of energy to the court. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">I have gotten to watch Schlarbaum a few times throughout this season. From prep dig sizzle in the preseason all the way up to this past weekend, she has continued to leave me impressed every time I've watched her play. It doesn't take much for her to make her presence known every time she steps on the court. Her ability to remain aggressive no matter where her sets are and still manage to find the court is outstanding. Not only is she forceful at the net, but she is also fantastic in the back row. Her serve receive is exact, and she's scrappy on defense. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Nelson is another standout setter who has been doing a fantastic job of running the Wolves' offense alongside Jackson. Nelson knows how to read her opponents mid-play and move the ball around to help set her team up for success. I've gotten the opportunity to watch her not only this fall, but also through this previous club season. I am always impressed with her ability to make the tough plays and better the ball for her hitter no matter where she is on the court. I also love her energy and the way she can fire up her team with ease. Nelson is a strong leader and is just the athlete you want running your offense, especially in tight situations. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='897063' first='Elise' last='Kane'] has really stepped up for the Pleasant Valley offense this season and has been a major threat. Not only has she done a fantastic job running their offense alongside Sweers and Danielson, but she can also be utilized as a solid right side when needed as well. She has clean hands and beautiful ball placement and isn't afraid to make the tough sets. Although I usually like setters to be the hype man of the team, I think Kane's calmness and composure are exactly what the Spartans need from time to time. I am excited to see how she continues to grow through the club season and how PV will utilize her next season. </p>
