[player_tooltip player_id='114523' first='Ella' last='Durham'] - Dublin Coffman A Division I all-Ohio selection last season, Durham is one of the biggest arms in the senior class. Entering her final season she has a career average of 4.8 kills per set as she totaled over 400 kills on the season for the second consecutive time in 2021. She is committed to the University of San Diego.   [player_tooltip player_id='141692' first='Gabi' last='Moulton'] - Oletangy Liberty The league's 2021 Player of the Year, Moulton helped guide her team to a state runner-up finish last season as she ran a balanced and efficient offense from the setting position. She was a fist-team all-Ohio selection in Division I as she posted big numbers all around the floor including 939 assists, 249 digs, and 54 total blocks. She is committed to West Florida.   [player_tooltip player_id='141717' first='Claire' last='Mrukowski'] - Oletangy Liberty This team's top returning offensive threat from a season ago, Mrukowski averaged 2.4 kills per set and was a key part of Liberty's run to the state championship match. The lefty senior should once again be a big threat for this offense from the right side pin where she also contributed 1.7 blocks per match.   [player_tooltip player_id='139282' first='Lily' last='Barron'] - Oletangy Orange (*pictured) The 6'2 outside hitter had a good club season and enters her junior year looking to improve upon her 1.7 kills per set average a year ago. She is more fluid in her approach footwork and has added power and range to her arm at the peak of her jump. Look for her to increase her numbers defensively as well as in her efficiency with her offensive opportunities.   [player_tooltip player_id='197061' first='Madison' last='Cugino'] - Oletangy Orange Cugino should once again provide good numbers in multiple facets of the game for Orange. Last season she terminated 160 kills and was just shy of averaging two kills per set. Her next-level future may be as a libero, which she played primarily during the club season and where she has terrific instincts in her reaction to opposing attackers. Defensively last season for Orange she made a big impact with 276 total digs while averaging 3.2 digs per set.
