<p>Division 2 features some of the best multi-position players in the state.</p> <p>One position that is featured in a number of those players is setter.</p> <p>D2 has great players capable of impacting the game all over the court, but especially at setter.</p> <p>Here’s a look at some of the top setters in Division 2.</p> <p><strong>Aly Borellis, Jr. Notre Dame Prep</strong></p> <p>Borellis is one of the most dynamic players in the state, as she can excel anywhere on the floor. However, setter may be her strongest spot. The recent Ole Miss commit was First Team All-State in 2019 while helping the Irish reach Battle Creek once again. She had an incredible stat line of 761 assists, 595 kills, 450 digs, 101 blocks and 96 aces.

Murphy got in some matches this week and already looked in peak form.</p> <p><strong>Camille Wadley, Sr. Vicksburg HMAS </strong></p> <p>Wadley is a player that can set or play libero in the back row. She earned Honorable Mention All-State honors in 2019 after helping Vicksburg win a district championship. A vocal leader, Wadley has been able to also lead with her performance on the floor.
