Already seeing some varsity playing time with one of the best programs in the state, Alaina is the tallest setter listed here, with length for days. Her ability to take long strides to get to wherever the ball is passed sets her apart from some of the shorter setters on this list. Her long arms allow her to take the ball high, be deceptive, and locate the ball perfectly for her hitters, regardless of tempo or location. I’m hoping to catch her play this season, as this will be the first time I can see her with her own age level in open competition.

With the fall in the rearview for the Fighting Irish, Alaina will use the entirety of this spring to train her way to lead Cathedral into championship-winning status next fall. Her length is her strength, as she uses the entirety of her 5’9” frame to go get tight passes, receive first contacts with high hands and locate the ball exceptionally well for her hitters.

With a full-go and no-quit attitude, Miss Sloan is an easy choice for this article. Her high hands, using all of her length, make for a well-trained setter. Add her impeccable footwork to the mold and her setting skill set is complete. She might have to take her time in rising the ranks of setters at Cathedral, but knowing that she’s a Munciana kid, her rising stock should be quicker than the average setter in this class.
