<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='220462' first='Madilynn' last='Benne'] – 5'8” – Lee's Summit North</strong></p>

<p>LSN has some dandy 2026s playing for them and next year they will be a tough team to beat. Madilynn is the quarterback of the team and led the Class 5 2026 class with 1,082 assists and 315 digs. A great defensive setter with great hands with a nice setter dump. Keep an eye out for those Broncos next season.</p>

<p>Grace was good last year and then this year took off. Another great young setter who was put in charge of a high-octane offense with some big bombers to keep happy. Her 914 assists put her 2<sup>nd</sup> on the list for assists for 2026s players. A high volleyball IQ and knowledge of getting her hitters in winnable situations make her a top setter.</p>

<p>A big-time setter already at Timberland is one of those players who will probably watch on TV in a couple of years. Abby's a strong setter who can hit the left-pin setting from the team bench. So smooth running the offense and has a great dump over her right shoulder. Big time player!</p>

<p>Got to watch Lily at the Rockwood Tournament and came away impressed. Runs a fast tempo with great hands and is a bouncy setter with a high volleyball IQ. Had several dumps that completely caught the defense's admiration. Lily finished the season with 610 assists and 169 digs.</p>

<p><strong>Izzi Sohl – 5'9” – Rock Bridge</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Izzi had to fill the biggest shoes in program history, and she did a really good job at it. When I watched her play at the Rockwood Tournament, I knew the Bruins were going to be in good hands with her. A nice setter with great hands, competitive, and a winner. Izzi finished the season with 385 assists. Watch as she comes in next season and increases those numbers greatly.</p>
