A six-rotation middle finished with 372 kills, 284 digs, and 58 blocks and was one of the top passers this season. Keep an eye out for moving her to the left pin could be lethal for her next season.   [player_tooltip player_id='237008' first='Ashlynn' last='Helton'] – 5'8” – Miller   The combo of Ashlynn and Rachel for Miller is a tough duo to stop. Ashlynn had a strong season last year and carried a much bigger role this year. She finished 2nd in kills with 312 and 316 digs and was a primary passer. The combo is both outstanding basketball players.   [player_tooltip player_id='490127' first='Tymber' last='Pinon'] – 5'9” – Skyline   Tymber was a force to be reckoned with for Skyline this year. She did about everything as she led her team in kills with 348 and blocks with 34, 3rd in digs with 363, and was one of the main passers.   [player_tooltip player_id='490134' first='Sophie' last='Frank'] – 5'9” – Lafayette County   Sophie is going to be a tough middle over the next two seasons. A strong hitter who is run all over the net to attack and has a nice slide. She has a great vertical and is a very emotional player which helps get her team fired up. The six-rotation player is one to keep an eye out for as she has all the tools to become a monster middle. Finished the year with 304 kills, 86 blocks, and 211 digs.   Ashlyn Hughes – 5'10” – Hermann   Ashlyn had a big showing at the final four and was a huge part of Hermann finishing 2nd again this year. In her first year, she finished with 231 kills and 61 blocks. She's a fun-loving player who loves the sport and her team. When the stars were the brightest, she shined getting a career-high 16 kills in the state championship match.
