She followed up a career best high school season in 2025 with a big club effort, which landed her an offer and commitment to Bowling Green State. Her game has elevated well on both sides of the ball as she can be a terminal threat from the right side while putting up an athletic and dynamic block. At a a team high 3.3 k/s last fall, look for Caceres to make an even bigger impact in her final season with Pickerington North in 2026.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1007080"],"_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"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a681cef8261e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Vance is a 6'1 dual threat at the net as she has offensive versatility and can put up a big block on the defensive side. She led the Raiders last season with a career high 239 total kills as she uses her athleticism to her advantage. She has good length with ability to get up well with explosive lift off the floor. She balanced her offense with a career high 2.4 blocks per match. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1007075"],"_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"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a681cef82671"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Saunders was a juggernaut of an offensive force for Union Local in 2025 as she was highly terminal at 5.6 k/s. With a career high 506 total kills, she was one of the top offensive point scorers in Ohio while adding 14.4 digs per match for a complete effort. A well rounded athlete, she averaged 12 points and four rebounds during the basketball season, asserting her size and athleticism well across multiple sports seasons.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["993187"],"_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"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a681cef826c1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Otterbein University recently hosted an indoor volleyball event outside as several Franklin County schools participated. Lincoln was there with Jackson displaying her experience and athleticism, especially as one of the top returning blockers in Ohio. She earned multiple accolades following the 2025 season as a big contributor on both sides of the ball. She is quick and athletic, which can be a big force when she gets a chance to swing and balance the presence she has at the net as a defender. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1007078"],"_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"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a681cef82711"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Adena has been a highly successful program in recent years with Dalton leading them defensively. With six total losses over their recent two seasons, along with an unbeaten streak in Scioto Valley Conference play, Dalton has been a huge factor with 1,051 total digs in 2024 and 2025 combined. Her average over those two seasons was 19.1 digs per match. She was a big force at the service line as well with a career high 82 aces last season. Dalton is a two-time SVC Defensive Player of the Year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
