Schaaf is, without a doubt, one of the top middles for the class of 2026, so it is no surprise she is a major contributor offensively and defensively for OJVA 15-1. When fed the ball, she finds a way to terminate. She can bury the ball deep corner, or hammer it at the 10-ft line. Watching her lateral movement from pin to pin and her big presence as a blocker was exciting. Athletic and 6’3” she has tons of potential and will be exciting to watch progress over the next few seasons.
