2025 Pins Still Available After Qualifier Season

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With the USA qualifier season in the rearview mirror, some class of '25 players took advantage of their increased level of play to choose their future volleyball home. However, here in Indiana, there are plenty of talented kids still available for play in the fall of 2025. Here are five pin attackers from five different clubs that have yet to find a home once their move on from high school.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='155089' first='Lilly' last='Howell'], 6-2 MB/OH, Burris, Munciana</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>On the roster for the Samurai, Lilly's squad has just finished a respectable 9th-place showing in Open at GJNC 18s in Baltimore this past weekend. Although Miss Howell is known for her dominance in the middle for the Owls, she was listed a specifically a pin attacker for her club program. Now capable of playing any of the front row positions, you can expect a higher volleyball IQ, a ten-foot plus attack point and the ability to put any ball set to her away at multiple angles.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='172313' first='Avery' last='Carroll'], 5-9 OH, Carmel, Academy</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Capable of being a six-rotation outside at the next level, Avery's ball control is her calling card. She's played open-level volleyball for years on the club scene, and even earned AAU All-American status back in 2022. Quick and springy, Miss Carroll is calm and collected as a passer, reads and reacts well as a defender, and excels in the middle back when defending and attacking. Although her size might limit her ability to show off what she can do in the front row for larger collegiate programs, you could do a lot worse than she for either passing or attacking.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='173242' first='Keira' last='Lucas'], 5-10 OH, Northview, Circle City</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A two-time All-State honoree in high school, Keira is a big and physical outside that can jump well for Circle's top 18s team. Playing in open this past weekend in Baltimore, Miss Lucas has honed her skills to the point where her teams suffer when she's <em>not</em> in the game. Capable of taking over a match for whomever she plays, she can terminate from anywhere on the court and cover half of the court in serve receive. A solid, well-polished all-around outside hitter is what you can expect from Keira for her future.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='172319' first='Addison' last='Hopper'], 5-9 Split-blocker/Defender, Westfield, Elite Beach VB</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Rarely do I mention a full-time beach player in my articles. However, I would be remiss if I didn't at least mention the skills that got Miss Hopper this far. Ball control is, far and away, Addie's strong suit, having exceptional body control and a quiet platform with which to work. Still putting in a ton of work on the high school side of things, Miss Hopper is one of the few from the state of Indiana that has played in ten or more events in the last two seasons combined. What's more, she's placed in the top three in half of those entries. This is a former Boiler Juniors club player that has found her niche on the sand, along with all of the high volleyball acuity that goes with that level of training.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='192102' first='Ava' last='Kissel'], 5-8 OH, Tecumseh, Metro</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>From <em>almost</em> the Evansville area, Ava is a bouncy, fast and athletic kid that plays middle for her high school team, but will be best suited as a pin attacker at the next level. In the state finals, she went toe-to-toe with 6-4 middle <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='230528' first='Abbie' last='Cresse'],</strong> who recently signed with Dayton. Quick and agile, Ava's speed and athleticism wins most points for her squad, no matter where she's playing. I haven't seen as much on the defensive and passing side of her game, but the attacking portion has small-college athlete written all over her.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
