Seeing limited time on varsity, she makes it up here as she is succeeding at the club level. Emma ‘s blocking ability with a growth on the offensive side of the ball will help keep both UNO and Minooka High School a contender.

A fun player to watch as she is intense and plays with a high level of skill. She swings hard and scores a lot of points. Hungate also plays for Joilet Catholic Academy, where she was second on the team in kills with 182.
Connie Lebel, 2021, OH, Mother McAuley, Michio
Part of the soul on the Mighty Macs team, she played in 87 sets and had 267 kills. Lebel will be the one to key on defensively as a six-position player. Not only are they focused on regionals but the Marist in their sites, one of the big challenges in their quest to reach states.
Keegan Carey, 2021, 5’11, RS, Sandburg
Still struggling to stay up with the top of the pack, Sandburg looks to Carey to get those timely kills. The more success she has, the better Sandburg plays.
