Continue ReadingThe regular season in Indiana is officially completed today, but that doesn’t mean all of the available players are taken. There are still a lot of kids with a lot of talent out there. Here are our top five pin attackers for the class of 2022.
#2: Katie Egenolf Katie Egenolf 6'1" | OH Center Grove | 2022 State #108 Nation IN , 6-1, OH, Center Grove
A recent addition to the ten foot club, Katie, along with Butler commit Grace Boggess Grace Boggess 6'3" | MB Center Grove | 2021 State IN , have been the only terminators on an overachieving Trojans team. In Katie’s case, she is slowly but surely becoming a full-time six rotation player, and can both attack and defend in both the front and back rows to prove it. This is a can’t miss prospect that needs a home.
#13: Natalie Lostutter Natalie Lostutter 5'9" | RS Floyd Central | 2022 State IN , 5-9, RS, Floyd Central
What stinks about Natalie’s situation in high school is that Floyd has yet to make it past Providence in their sectional. This, plus some considering her undersized, makes for a tough time for this kid to be noticed. Bottom line: Natalie is a Union-trained player with a high volleyball IQ that terminates and wins. Period.
#14: Macarty McQueen Macarty McQueen 5'10" | OH Carmel | 2022 State IN , 5-10, OH, Carmel
Another six-rotation player, Miss McQueen has a more refined defensive and serve receive capability than Miss Egenolf listed above, but her size has had some shy away from this highly skilled pin attacker. Playing in one of the toughest sectionals in the state, she may not make it to the regional round, making her an under appreciated asset for the Greyhounds.
#17: Tori Woods Tori Woods 6'0" | OH West Lafayette | 2022 State IN , 6-0, OH, West Lafayette
A recent addition to the top five available pin attackers in this class, Tori has proven to be a terminator with the potential of being a six-rotation player. I like her coach ability and willingness to do whatever it takes to win. This is a selfless student of the game that has slowly improved over the last two years. Watch out.
#21: Estella Kleffman Estella Kleffman 5'9" | OH Trinity Lutheran | 2022 State IN , 5-9, OH, Trinity Lutheran
Far and away the smallest school on this list, 1A #1 Trinity Lutheran always has a bunch of volley dorks on their roster. Miss Kleffman is just part of a long line of midsized pin attackers from TL that get the job done at a high level and an even higher volleyball IQ. This kid will be fun to watch as the state tournament starts this coming week.
