The road to the Minnesota State Volleyball Tournament is heating up as Class A teams prepare for section semifinal action next week. With a trip to the section championship on the line, the competition is getting tougher, and every point matters. Class A is loaded with talent ready to step up when it matters most. As teams battle to keep their postseason dreams alive, we have our eyes on a handful of players who have the ability to make a big impact and help push their teams one step closer to state. Here are a few Class A standouts we expect to make some noise in the section semifinals.

I always love hearing from players, especially Minnesota athletes and I'm always looking for new players to watch and follow!    Quam does a little bit of everything for Kenyon-Wanamingo, and she does it all at a high level. She is the team's leading attacker, averaging an impressive 3.4 kills per set while hitting a solid .284. But her impact goes well beyond the front row. Quam is just as valuable defensively, recording 315 digs, averaging 4.0 digs per set, along with 31 aces and 241 serve receptions. She is a true all around player who can make an impact in just about every aspect of the game. That kind of court awareness, skill set, and versatility is not something you see every day, especially in a young player. We look for her to be standout in section 1A as the playoffs continue.     Only an eighth grader, Morken is already proving to be a valuable weapon for Spring Grove. She has excellent court awareness, sees the open spots in the defense, and isn't afraid to get aggressive by pushing the ball over on the first or second contact to catch opponents off guard. Her ability to recognize opportunities and make quick decisions has paid off all season. Morken is averaging an impressive 2.9 kills per set while also recording 31 aces and 216 digs. Those are some solid numbers for any varsity player, let alone an eighth grader. She is already making a significant impact for Spring Grove, and with plenty of volleyball still ahead of her, Morken is definitely a young talent coaches should have on their radar.     Henrikson is a fun outside hitter to watch, and she will definitely be one to keep tabs on in the semifinals. She is a dynamic attacker who can score in a variety of ways, whether she is taking a big swing, attacking out of system, mixing in an off speed shot, or running routes into the middle. She has great versatility in her attack and knows how to make defenses pay when they lose track of her. What makes her especially dangerous is her ability to adjust to different sets and still find ways to terminate the ball. Expect her to be a major offensive weapon as BOLD continues its postseason run.     Sudbeck is a powerful right side pin hitter who brings a strong offensive presence to the court. She does a great job transitioning from defense to offense, getting herself into position to attack and making the most of her opportunities. She mixes up her shots well, combining power with smart placement to keep defenders guessing. Sudbeck is also a solid presence at the net, putting up a strong block and making it difficult for opposing hitters to find their way through. She will be a key player to watch as Browerville-Eagle Valley competes in the section semifinals, with her ability to make an impact on both sides of the ball.     Reinbold is a big presence at the net, making an impact on both sides of the ball. Defensively, she tracks the ball well, moves quickly laterally, and does a great job getting into position to put up a solid block. Offensively, she is just as effective, using her reach and athleticism to get her hands on nearly every ball sent her way. What stands out is her ability to make something happen even when the transition isn't ideal. She adjusts well to the ball, finds ways to stay aggressive, and can still put it down even when she doesn't get the perfect approach. Reinbold will be a key player to watch on Wednesday as her team battles top seeded Border West, where her presence at the net could make a big difference.
