Everest – Wisconsin Ice With a lot of attention on this team’s solid middle presence, Crawford has provided a strong third offensive option that was crucial to their success in conference, as well as a post season run taking them into Sectionals.  She demonstrates an aggressive approach pattern and can challenge a block or find space well. Crawford’s ability to score from either pin increases her opportunities and chances to score.    Amelia Dettmering Amelia Dettmering 5'8" | OH Prentice | 2021 State WI – 2021 – 5’8 – Pin Hitter – Prentice – Medford Storm Prentice claimed a piece of the Marawood Conference title this season and are offensively charged by Dettmering.  In a condensed senior season, she recorded over 120 kills on the season and produced almost five digs per match.  She is a quick, but tricky and lethal, attacker with the ability to terminate from either pin.  [player_tooltip player_id="81338" first="Casey" last="Frankland"] Photo Credit: Breit Nelson Casey Frankland Casey Frankland 5'10" | OH Marshfield | 2022 State WI – 2022 – 5’10 – Pin Hitter – Marshfield – Wisconsin Ice Frankland stands 5’10 and used her athleticism to produce a lot of points for the Tigers. She averaged over three kills per set as a part of a very balanced offense. She has solid footwork in her transition and tales a great aggressive approach all the way through her contact point and swing. Frankland has ability to put pace on the ball whether she is serving or attacking, and her athleticism also pays off defensively as she is quick to get off the ground, penetrating across the tape with her hands making her a feared blocker as well.   Ella Buddenhagen Ella Buddenhagen 5'11" | OH Kimberly | 2022 State WI – 2022 – 5’10 – Pin Hitter – Kimberly – FC Elite Buddenhagen was poised to be the top offensive option for the Papermakers in 2020, but we will have to wait to see her take charge in the Spring of 2021.  At 5’10 she is athletic, elevates off the court, uses sound mechanics, which is exploited by a high contact point and fast arm to generate a lot of speed on the ball. Buddenhagen is a solid six-rotation pin hitter and strong passer.   [player_tooltip player_id="118263" first="Hannah" last="Clark"] Photo Credit: Breit Nelson Hannah Clark Hannah Clark 5'10" | MB Monticello | 2022 State WI – 2022 – 5’10 – Middle Blocker – Monticello - Capital The 5’10 junior middle blocker led the Monticello defense in blocks through the 2020 season. Her activity around the setter can be difficult to track, as she can be seen constantly running routes to pull the opposing blockers’ attention.  She collected over 160 kills and 53 blocks while showing a mad hang time. Clark has a heavy arm and confronts defenses by putting some heat on the ball while showing a variety in her placement.   Madelyn Hauer Madelyn Hauer 5'11" | MB Wausau | 2021 State WI – 2021 – 5’11 – Middle Blocker – Wausau West – NW Stars Hauer is a huge offensive threat in the front row with her ability to score from anywhere across the net.  At 5’11 she has good size and length as a middle blocker which creates a lot of problems for opposing attackers, given her power and ability to attack a variety of spots on the court.   [player_tooltip player_id="117308" first="Olivia" last="Dettmering"] Photo Credit: Breit Nelson Olivia Dettmering Olivia Dettmering 5'8" | S Prentice | 2021 State WI – 2021 – 5’8 – Setter – Prentice – Medford Storm With over 1,100 assists in her career and a 7+ assists per set average, Dettmering makes the Buccaneers’ offense go.  The balance in the Buccaneers’ offense is largely due to Dettmering’s decision-making and devotion to getting a lot of hitters involved. This is a big reason why Prentice made it to the state semi-final in November.
