Anna West Anna West 6'1" | MB Greensburg | 2021 State IN , 6-1, MB/OH, Cougar VBC, Greensburg, Prep Dig #32
A heavy arm? Check. Size AND speed? Check and check. This kid can hammer, play at a high level, and is a winner. Aside from two heartbreaking losses to Lawrenceburg, this team should reload for next year, and is out for revenge. Anna can pan out at either position listed, even though middle is listed first.
Maggie Connell Maggie Connell 5'8" | OH Seymour | 2021 State IN , 5-8, OH, Cougar VBC, Seymour, Prep Dig #50
Don’t let the size fool you. Maggie is a six-rotation left side who can hit any shot in the book and prefers going at a fast tempo. She’s smooth, has great body control on defense, and can easily take over a match if you let her.
Kendra McCory Kendra McCory 5'11" | MB Brownstown Central | 2021 State IN , 5-11, MB, Cougar VBC, Brownstown, Prep Dig #54
This is the only state champ on this list, and can easily take over a match, even when the whole gym knows it. At first sight, she seems undersized, but her speed and length can defend pin to pin, and her power beats most defenses. I’m looking forward to another run for this kid to the state title.
Kennedy Hoffman, 5-11, OH, Cougar VBC, Trinity Lutheran, Prep Dig #68
This kid is rising fast for multiple reasons. Number 1, size. Her 5-11 frame gets her over most pin blocks at the 1A level. Second, she’s got every shot in the book. Her 11 kills in the state championship match showcased her ability to put balls away with a heavy arm and shots that an outdoor player would be jealous of. Third, she’s a winner. Regularly finding her team in the state championship conversation year in and year out is hard to do in Indiana.
Kendal Brager Kendal Brager 6'0" | MB Fort Wayne Northrup | 2021 State IN , 6-0, MB, Team Pineapple , Fort Wayne Northrup, Prep Dig #79
I’m getting a lot of contacts telling me about Miss Brager, and for good reason. She can run in front of and behind the setter, her length closes most blocks, and is just a positive kid. I’m looking forward to making it up to the Fort Wayne area to report more on the Team Pineapple kids and their progress this fall.
