<p>Key pieces from an [program_tooltip program_id='431948' first='Iowa' last='Rockets'] 15R team that finished runners-up in the 2024 National Tournament's National Division return to the fold. The 16R squad will be without other standouts, however, which should make this an interesting age group this season. </p>

<p>The Rockets top 16U outfit brings back a trio of stars in [player_tooltip player_id='493658' first='Hattie' last='Galloway'] along with Edie and [player_tooltip player_id='316380' first='Hadley' last='Miller']. They'll be the best players at their given positions in a whole lot of matches. </p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='316419' first='Edie' last='Miller'] earned all-state recognition after each of her first two high school seasons. She paced 5A in digs (550) as a sophomore in '24 despite opponents avoiding her whenever possible. </p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='316380' first='Hadley' last='Miller'] may have improved more than her twin sister from their freshman to sophomore years. Hadley's all-around game took a step forward this fall, especially her defense and swing. She appeared more explosive off of the court in finishing her 10th-grade campaign with 364 assists, 95 kills and 199 digs. </p>

<p>Galloway can be a high-end college volleyball player if she chooses that sport over her first love, basketball, where she also is a D-I prospect with a high ceiling. It's a nice "problem" to have for a student-athlete that's worked hard for what she's achieved. As a sophomore this Fall, Galloway ranked second in 5A with 25 solo blocks among her 65.0 total and she also produced 190 kills (.342). </p>

<p>Layla Green recorded 176 kills (.225) and 44.0 blocks as a Washington sophomore in '24. Iowa City West's [player_tooltip player_id='758803' first='Gracie' last='Liu'] showed improvement swinging from the right pin as a 10th-grader, perhaps setting the stage for another step forward this club season. [player_tooltip player_id='758812' first='Kaylee' last='Hagstrom'] is a versatile player capable of contributing at multiple positions. </p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='758822' first='Koye' last='Jaeger'], [player_tooltip player_id='758808' first='Dani' last='Piper'], [player_tooltip player_id='758827' first='Addison' last='Singsank'] and Eden Smith round out the Rockets 16R squad. They'll be counted on to fill key roles.</p>
