Central Zone Preview: 15 Open, Part 2

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 15 Open division of this weekend's Central Zone Invitational has its fair share of all-Americans, national champions and athletic studs. This edition of the preview is no different, and even features two kids touching ten feet already, plus a bonus recruit from the class of '27.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2>Circle City 15 Purple, Court 64 on Saturday at 0900</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>CIrcle's top 15s team has a ton of size and skill. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='221342' first='Lily' last='Jones'] ('26, 6-1 MB, Center Grove)</strong> leads the way in both categories for this squad. Her length and strength put her in a different class of middles compared to other middles graduating in '26. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='221478' first='Josie' last='Imes'] ('26, 5-10 OH, Zionsville)</strong> is one of many pin attackers from Zionsville that can defend and attack with the best of them. I like her explosiveness on offense and work ethic on defense. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='221476' first='Ania' last='Kilburn'] ('26, 5-10 OH/RS, Avon)</strong> has the jumping ability to play either pin at the next level, so look for her to attack from wherever she wants. Someone has to get these athletes the ball, so look no further than <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='300078' first='Addison' last='Haberthy'] ('26, 5-10 S, Roncalli).</strong> She's quick with her feet, accurate with her set placement and plays defense for her position better than most setters in this class in Indiana.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2>Boiler Juniors 151E Gold, Court 65 on Saturday at 0800</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>On an adjacent court Saturday morning, you can find the defending AAU champ in 14 Open from a year ago. So much talent up and down this roster, starting with <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='260994' first='Calista' last='Foster'] ('26, 5-9 OH, Benton Central).</strong> The purest definition of a six-rotation primary-passing outside, Calista can hit all of the shots in the book while defending and receiving serve at an elite level. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='210191' first='Reese' last='Resmer'] ('26, 5-11 MB, Noblesville)</strong> is coming off of an AAU MVP season. Hard to top that, is it? Miss Resmer comes back with a Hamilton County Shot Put Championship trophy last spring, and can jump touch ten feet right now. Reese isn't the only ten foot jumper on this squad, as eighth grader <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='260995' first='Caroline' last='Ward'] ('27, 6-0 RS, Tri-West)</strong> can currently touch past that as our first featured class of '27 recruit. Running this show is, you guessed it, another Shondell. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='210192' first='Lexi' last='Shondell'] ('26, 5-8 S, McCutcheon)</strong> comes from a long line of volleyball royalty here in Indiana. She can attack on two if needed (she's a lefty), can run a 5-1 with the best of them, and is an all-around volleyball stud with an acuity for the game that very few have at this age.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
