<p>Oakland County has once again set its footprint in the state of Michigan for the Class of 2026.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Along with many of the best players in the state, this group has produced some of the best in the country.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Here's part one of a two-part look at the top 2026 talents from Oakland County.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='569764' first='Amani' last='Agoot'], MB West Bloomfield/Michigan Elite</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Agoot is a prospect that still has plenty of upside despite being extremely impactful already. Listed as 6'0”, Agoot plays much bigger as she's got tremendous hangtime and a long wingspan, which allows her to be a dominant blocker while being able to attack over the top of blockers. Agoot has shown improved footwork and instincts, but should only keep getting better.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='226875' first='Ella' last='Andrews'], MB Mercy/Legacy</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The 6'4” middle is a dominant presence at the net with her long reach and ability to hang in the air. She can be an absolute wall on defense, but also has the footwork and quickness to be unstoppable with her attacks. Andrews is among the elite in this class nationwide and is sure to be an impact player at the next level.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='226885' first='Allie' last='Davison'], S Marian/High Performance</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Davison (The Citadel) showed a lot in the last year in terms of growth as a leader and overall player. Already a talented setter, Davison stepped up as a right side at times and had impressive skills at the net. This club season, she is playing up in age, which is adding to her all-around play and decision making.</p>

<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='449093' first='Skyye' last='Frailey'], OH/DS Troy Athens/L2</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A prospect that has put a lot of work into her game, both on offense and defense, Frailey is looking more and more like a polished six-rotation outside each week. She's got a smooth delivery on her swing and produces an impressive back-row attack. Defensively, Frailey stays low to the ground and anticipates hitters well.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='487079' first='Jillian' last='Gibbs'], MB Orchard Lake St. Mary's/L2</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Gibbs moves really smoothly in the middle and she plays with a lot of composure and confidence. She makes explosive kills and blocks look rather routine and doesn't get too high or low on the court. Gibbs has the ability to take over a match and has battled against the best middles in the state.</p>

<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='226897' first='Charlotte' last='Gramzow'], DS/L Lutheran Northwest/Michigan Elite</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Gramzow (Northern Illinois) is a standout defender that has been able to dominate at the prep level as an outside hitter as well. She's got a great feel for the game and anticipates well, which has made her one of the best defenders in this class. Gramzow stays alert and makes great choices on the floor.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='446702' first='Elise' last='Hiemstra'], OH Country Day/Legacy</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Hiemstra (Columbia) has really elevated her game over the last year. This past prep season, Hiemstra proved she can be a dominant six-rotation outside in leading Country Day to a state title. Hiemstra has all the shots and mixes up her speeds well, but when a point needs to be put away, she dials up the intensity another level.</p>
