Makena Panchot Makena Panchot 5'11" | OH Velva-Drake-Anamoose-Garrison | 2027 State ND ‘s season was built on steady growth and consistent production from the left side. What stood out most over the course of the year was her ability to handle volume while staying efficient. Panchot created separation with her approach tempo, contacted high, and showed strong awareness attacking seams instead of forcing swings into traffic. She became especially dangerous in transition, finishing cleanly when the rally extended.

Her style blends control with edge. Makena saw the block well, used high hands effectively, and mixed pace with shot placement to stay terminal against disciplined defenses. As the season progressed, her confidence in out-of-system situations noticeably improved, making her a dependable scoring option. Panchot closed the year playing her best volleyball, showing she’s trending upward at the right time. ~Theresa @prepdigdakotas
