Maize South’s Illian moved up the rankings after a sophomore season with 217 digs and 290 kills for the Mavericks. Numbers from her would be like watching a movie starring both Clint Eastwood and Sam Elliott. What more could you ask for? Illian is ranked No. 3 overall in the Kansas Class of 2028.

The second new athlete in the Top 10 is Maize South’s Illian. She is the rock for a Maverick’s squad poised to make it to the state tournament in Salina at the end of the month. I saw her play three times in September and was impressed with her talent. She is a six-rotation athlete who is not a liability on the back or front row. South has posted stats for the first 39 sets played this season, and during that time, Illian had 89 kills, 79 digs, and 47 assists. Illian is now ranked No. 5 overall.
