<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Two of the state's better 17U squads locked up in the quarterfinals of last weekend's competitive QC Showdown's 17/18 Division. Six Pack squeaked by Iowa Select, 26-24, 22-25, 15-13. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>It feels like a wide-open age group this season. Select will have opportunities to turn the tables and the talent to carry it out. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>It starts with Kansas State commitment [player_tooltip player_id='230661' first='Ellah' last='Derrer'] in the middle of the net. She can take over matches for long stretches with a ferocious attack and an intimidating block. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='389006' first='Carsyn' last='Kelley'] helped Pleasant Valley win a state title in the Fall with a well-rounded setting game that rivals anyone in the state. McKenzie Moeller is a six-rotation dynamo as evidenced by her 301 kills and 143 digs for North Scott in 2024. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='261052' first='Ainsley' last='Haedt'] is coming off a junior season with 294 digs as one of the steadiest liberos around. She covers a lot of ground and possesses sharp reflexes. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='455710' first='Kiley' last='Devery'] joins Select after a strong run with [program_tooltip program_id='431948' first='Iowa' last='Rockets'] that saw her become one of the most improved players in the '26 Class. She's becoming a more well-rounded performer with each passing match. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Most teams don't have the luxury of pairing a middle as talented as is [player_tooltip player_id='630696' first='Erin' last='Robbins'] with Derrer. Robbins is super efficient on the attack and an aggressive defender at the net. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Central DeWitt's [player_tooltip player_id='503389' first='Briana' last='Clark'] is an emerging right-side hitter with impressive power. [player_tooltip player_id='389818' first='Hanley' last='Schmidt']'s broad skill set makes her a contributor around the court. Resse Germann, a Viterbo University pledge, provides sound defense in the back row. </p>
