<p class="text-gray-700">Hurst has continued her 2025 success this season as she has maintained her 3.1 k/s average on an improved efficiency of .370. The 6'1 middle is contributing well on both sides of the ball as she has earned 65 blocks this season, good enough to land her among Northern Ohio league leaders. She is very active in the transition phase to get off the net and available to swing. Her length allows her to get on top of the ball well while she also has good awareness to play an off speed game to balance her aggressiveness.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">A senior captain for Oak Hills, Tharp has put up her biggest numbers for a single season as she has terminated 245 total kills so far in 2026, good for the top position offensively in the Greater Miami conference. She is averaging 4.2 k/s on a .267 efficiency. With versatility to be equally effective in her ability to swing and score from either pin, she can generate good arm speed and bring some heat when in rhythm and on time. Tharp's arm also applies a lot of pressure at the service line as she is second on the league with 47 aces to complement the 13.8 d/m she contributes to balance the offense she brings.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Bradford continues to stream as one of the top senior setters in Ohio. She shares the role for Padua Franciscan with tools to be able to run the full show if given the opportunity. Her movement and touch are fluid and clean as she has good court awareness during her pursuit of the ball to be able to sling it with variation when on the move. Her tempo adjustments and accuracy are a key asset to her floor leadership. Through a four-year varsity effort for the Bruins, Bradford should surpass 1,800 career assists soon.</p>

<p>The Patriots are one of the top teams with an overall record of 19-3 and currently unbeaten in Ohio Capital-Central league play. Lough is a key contributor at nearly two kills per set. At 5'10, she has good skills at the net on both sides of the ball. Viewing her as a middle and on the right pin, she moves well in transition and laterally to defend. On the offensive side, she can swing with good purpose and drive the ball aggressively as her vision, arm speed and control combine to put good pressure on opposing defenses.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Newman is leading Orange's offense at 2.9 k/s. The 5'8 pin sees a lot of opportunity with good ability to capitalize as she is terminating the ball at a 47% kill rate. She opens her shoulders well in the air to be able to generate good torque and pace to contact. She has good six-rotation tools to pass and swing as she uses that movement and rhythm well to see the court and control her arm for good range.</p>
