Stella Barns Stella Barns 5'5" | DS/L Bloomington Jefferson | 2027 MN is the kind of player who makes you want to stop what you are doing and just watch. The class of 2027 libero from Jefferson High School competing with Vital 17-1 earned her Top Performer award not just with her platform and her range on the back row, but with the energy and warmth she brought to every single person on that floor. Everyone around her was touched by it. Her personality pulls you in immediately and makes you feel like you have known her for years, and in a showcase environment where players are competing alongside strangers, that quality made her side of the net feel like a team from the very first point. On the court she was sharp, disciplined, and competitive. Off the ball she was loud with encouragement and genuine in every bit of it. She has everything a coach wants in a captain: character, toughness, a game that holds up under pressure, and an it factor that is impossible to teach. We were genuinely glad to meet her and cannot wait to watch what comes next for her in this sport. Please help me congratulate her on earning Top Performer honors at this showcase.
