| 6’2″ | OH | Skutt Catholic | Nebraska Elite | Ohio University
Heyne played middle for her high school team but will be an outside on club and at the next level. She’s long, got a strong arm and is a solid 6-rotation outside. She recently committed to Ohio.

put 502 balls to the floor on her Oakland-Craig team. She added 301 digs and 33 aces. She’s fast and dangerous from anywhere on the floor.

Schomers will be a setter at the next level after playing front row for powerhouse Skutt Catholic. She’s long, highly competitive and sets a great ball for her hitters. I expect now that Arizona State commit, Allie Gray, is graduating she will move into the setter spot for her high school too. Abby was named to the AAU Tournament Team at Nationals last summer where she and her team won the 16 Open trophy.

Kiviniemi is a natural right side hitter. She’s got a great knack of putting the ball in an empty spot. For high school she had 302 kills (.294) 58 blocks and 38 aces. Great well-rounded player and Washburn is darn lucky to be getting this athlete.

| 5’9″ | MH/OH/DS | Millard West | Premier | Uncommitted
Sadie’s a top blocker (actually led Class A) with an impressive 182 blocks. She has a 28″ approach jump letting her out-jump those across the net from her. She’s quick and springy and also great off one foot. Sadie is a middle who can also pass. She’s a hidden gem for the next level –she can play in about any position on the court.
Emma O’Neill

O’Neill is strong, long and physical at the net. She sees the court well and is good at closing the block along with scoring. She had 162 kills and 89 blocks this last season for her runner-up state championship team.

Jayna is a strong leader for her team with good floor defense too. At 5’8″ Jayna also plays right side. She’s in contact weekly with some colleges and still looking for her volleyball next-level home. She had 431 assists, 191 digs, 32 blocks and chipped in 31 aces.
We know all these athletes have worked hard at their craft. Don’t get caught up in what number you are, as many student-athletes are very similar in skill. Rankings are always fluid and can have drastic changes year to year especially at the 15’s and 16’s level when girls are still growing and developing.
