Seven athletes below play at small schools in rural areas, but nothing is small about their game. Each player provides leadership, power, high volleyball IQs, tough defenders with never say die attitudes, and gives everything to help their respective schools be successful. Keep an eye on these players during the year, as you will see their offensive and defensive numbers don't lie.   60. [player_tooltip player_id='168900' first='Alexis' last='Hoffman'] – 5'11" Middle – Advance   Hoffman has a high volleyball IQ that plays middle and will set this year for the Hornets. She is a coach's kid, and you can tell by watching her play. Alexis will be a big-time player for the Hornets and should give them enough power to get back into the state playoffs.   69. [player_tooltip player_id='168907' first='Abby' last='Kennedy'] – 5'9" – Middle – Advance   Another Hornet in the rankings will be relied on to provide kills and blocks again this year. She is a talented, quick, powerful player who will see more offensive output this year and rely on her to provide passing and defense.   74. [player_tooltip player_id='168909' first='Anna' last='Parker'] – 5'5" – Libero – South Iron   Parker will be another puzzle piece to get the Panthers back to the final four. Parker was a massive addition to the Panthers lineup last season and gave them a significant defensive presence. A quick libero that passes well and plays solid defense.   75. [player_tooltip player_id='170031' first='Kameron' last='Dankenbring'] -5'9” – Outside – Santa Fe   Helped guide Santa Fe to a 3rd place finish at state and 2nd on the team in kills. Look for her kill numbers to double this year, being a significant offensive threat. Santa Fe must replace a hammer on the outside to graduation, and Kameron is next in line for the Chiefs.   81. [player_tooltip player_id='168908' first='Enzley' last='Dinkins'] – 5'7” – Setter – South Iron   A setter and middle for the 4th place finisher last year, Dinkins gives the Panthers a solid setter/middle combo to compliment her counterpart. Great vertical and hate-to-lose attitude makes Enzley a pivotal piece to get the Panthers back to the final four.   86. [player_tooltip player_id='170395' first='Madison' last='Dunn'] – 5'6” – Libero - Bismarck/H2 17UA   A tremendous defender for H2 17UA and will be the go-to player for Bismarck as a six-rotation outside hitter. Madison will significantly add to a JUCO program because of her tough defensive nature and athleticism.     130. [player_tooltip player_id='213916' first='Sydney' last='Woods'] – 5'2" – Lesterville   A considerable improvement in the backcourt for the Bearcats this season will be Woods. She has shown her ability to play solid defense in the middle back and can dig up the hard hits. She will provide Lesterville with passing and defense and allow the big guns to swing away on the outside.
