Under The Radar Middle Blockers In Oklahoma

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Middle blocker is arguably the physcially hardest position in volleyball to play. It requires a ton of reading, lateral quickness and heart. The sheer amount of movement on each play is enough to make it really tough to play. The return on all the hard work is playing a huge roll both on offense and defense. You are typically the most effiecnet hitter and also get the most blocks. Lets take a look a several solid middle blockers across the state who are flying just under the radar. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='933710' first='Halle' last='Barron']- 2028 for Oologah. Halle was the conference MVP and a cornerstone for the Mustangs all season. She made huge strides this year and her team made it to the state tournament for the first time in 61 years. “Under the radar” is about to expire for her and this team. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='747216' first='Madison' last='Berger']- 2028 for Claremore. Madison also had a huge year of growth. Her skills tremendously increased this club season at Virago and she was a steady contributor for the Zebras. She will be a veteran for next year school team. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='946847' first='Samya' last='Renee Tate']- 2029 for Jenks. Sam is very athletic and loves to compete. She was huge for Jenks JV this season. Look for her to possibly find her way onto the varsity team for one of the best programs in the entire state. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='908460' first='Addison' last='Rutherford']- 2028 for Southwest Cov. Addison was also a pivotal piece of the puzzle for her team this season. Much like every player under the umbrella of head coach, Heath Kufahl, her game play was evaluated drastically. She will shoulder even more as a senior. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='761784' first='Rylie' last='Cross']- 2029 for Westmoore. Rylie is a top 20 player in her class but Westmoore didn't quite shine like they did last season. They have plenty of young talent, including Rylie, that will get them back on track. Rylie will take a big step forward and really impact the game next season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='819203' first='Sophia' last='Lynch']- 2028 for Mount St. Mary. She was a part of the championship winning team at MSM. She is surrounded by some of the best players in all of Oklahoma. She has power in her swing, she transitions well, and presses strong on the block. Watch out for the Rockets next year, they will be an absolute buzzsaw. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sophie Lamers- 2029 for Bishop Kelley. Sophie is a tall presence at the net for the Comets. She made pivotal plays over the course of the season. She is young and still has plenty to go before she hits her ceiling. Look out for her and her squad for being a 5A front runner for the title.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Our winter showcase is just around the corner and we have plenty of girls signed up already.
