The landscape of Class 2 volleyball is shifting as teams battle for supremacy. Each matchup not only reveals individual talents but also sets the stage for potential upsets that could significantly alter the rankings. As we delve into the current standings, the spotlight shines on both rising stars and seasoned players, all vying for St Joseph.   1. Valle Catholic Warriors 12-1-1   After several years competing in Classes 3 and 4, the Valle Catholic Warriors have returned to their class with a vengeance. They are emerging as a formidable title contender, boasting an impressive record that includes a single loss to Class 1 powerhouse Winona. With an upcoming match against St. Vincent that could impact the rankings significantly, all eyes are on them. Star players [player_tooltip player_id='827056' first='Lexie' last='Rayoum'] and [player_tooltip player_id='790958' first='Ada' last='Bley'], both from the Class of 2027, have been instrumental, racking up a combined total of 263 kills this season.   2. St. Vincent Indians 7-5-1   The St. Vincent Indians have proven resilient, remaining undefeated against Class 2 opponents. Their losses have come exclusively from higher classifications (Classes 3, 4, and 5), setting the stage for a critical showdown against #1 Valle Catholic next week. [player_tooltip player_id='225326' first='Brie' last='Rubel'] has taken the reins of the offense, aiming to lead her team to victory in this pivotal match.   3. Hermann Bearcats 8-7-1   The Hermann Bearcats recently faced a tough five-set battle against Pacific, falling just short with scores of 27-25, 18-25, 14-25, 25-15, and 12-15. If they replicate their performance from this match in late October, they could pose a serious threat to any team in Class 2. Key players [player_tooltip player_id='702778' first='Ashlyn' last='Hughes'] and 2029 Kalli Landolt are pivotal in anchoring the team from the middle.   4. Duchesne Pioneers 7-3   Duchesne recently engaged in a fierce contest against Class 3 MICDS, narrowly losing in straight sets 24-26, 24-26, 23-25.

[player_tooltip player_id='708619' first='Mia' last='Piskulich'] has emerged as a standout player, setting a strong tone for the season.   5. Butler Bears 7-0   The Butler Bears remain unbeaten this season, thanks in part to standout performances from [player_tooltip player_id='485567' first='Tandee' last='Hiser'], who recorded 32 kills, and [player_tooltip player_id='809963' first='Kylee' last='Dubray'], who had 17 kills in their recent win over Adrian, 22-25, 25-19, 26-24, 21-25, 15-12. A highly anticipated match against El Dorado Springs on October 9 should further test their mettle.   6. Miller Cardinals 10-3   The Miller Cardinals have faced tough competition, with two losses to Winona and another to Class 3 Strafford. Despite a challenging match against Strafford 25-22, 25-20, 25-27, 21-25, 3-15, players like [player_tooltip player_id='809838' first='Rachel' last='Nunez'], [player_tooltip player_id='829756' first='Ashlynn' last='Helton'], and Loghann Leivan (all from the Class of 2027) showed promise.

Fatima Comets 13-2   The Fatima Comets are making their mark in the rankings after a close loss to Hermann 24-26, 24-26, 23-25, and a sweep by Helias. [player_tooltip player_id='828140' first='Alayna' last='Backes'], a 5'10” middle hitter from the Class of 2026, has been a standout with 138 kills. Their remaining schedule is packed with challenging matches against teams from Classes 3, 4, and 5.   8. Adrian Blackhawks 7-3   Although the Adrian Blackhawks suffered a heart-wrenching five-set loss to Butler, they remain firmly in the top 10. Freshman Alexa Rodgers has made an impressive start to her varsity career, contributing 31 kills and 14 blocks. Upcoming matches against El Dorado Springs and Pembroke Hill will be crucial tests for the Blackhawks.   9. El Dorado Springs Bulldogs 8-3-2   The Bulldogs are set to face tough opponents, Winona and Rogersville, this weekend, providing them with a chance to showcase their skills this season. Leading the charge are [player_tooltip player_id='666303' first='Kalen' last='Post'], [player_tooltip player_id='838972' first='Tatum' last='Quinlan'], and [player_tooltip player_id='490215' first='McKinli' last='Mays'], who are pivotal to the team's success.   10. Portageville Bulldogs 17-2   With a record of 17-2, the Portageville Bulldogs are gearing up for a Tri match against Class 1 powers Advance and Bismarck next weekend. Despite losses to St. Vincent and Meadow Heights, they remain a strong contender. Key players [player_tooltip player_id='735534' first='Gloriaha' last='Farmer'] and [player_tooltip player_id='816571' first='Maggie' last='Priggel'] (both from the Class of 2026) are essential in spearheading their offense.
