Maddie MacTaggart Maddie MacTaggart 5'10" | OH Millard South | 2022 State NE | Millard West | OH/RS | St. Cloud State
MacTaggart led her Millard West team with 313 kills, being named Class A 2nd team in both papers along with 2nd team All-Metro. She has a dynamic jump and can terminate with many shots in her tool box. She can elevate and is dangerous on either pin.
Sadie Millard Sadie Millard 5'9" | MB Millard West | 2022 State NE | Millard West | MH | Uncommitted
Millard is an outstanding blocker. She led the state in blocks (2nd year in a row) and is so fast from pin to pin. She had 191 kills, and 182 blocks. She’s so fun to watch play. She’s a multi-sport athlete also making it to state in track and field. Her athleticism allows her to score points across the net in many ways.
This versatile athlete can play a variety of positions, but projects as defense at the next level. She’s steady and consistent with her platform and can swing from the back row. She’s scrappy and really helps her teams stay in system.
