Continue ReadingKansas City in the spring time. Power and Light District with plenty of outdoor options and a fun time for the 15s-17s to take over the town. There are plenty who will be on the radar of college coaches and here are a few who you might want to watch from Iowa who might be a little under the radar heading into the weekend. Take a look at those from Minnesota and Iowa who are ones to watch.
Morgan Barker Morgan Barker 5'9" | OH Davenport Central | 2022 State IA – Iowa Select 17 Mizuno
17 USA
Barker is very comparable to Stanwood with her style of play in how her athleticism and physicality really stand out on the pin. A big swing, a lot of enthusiasm and a positive teammate, Barker has stood out in all situations whether its a showcase or a tournament. She can swing and be a threat out of system and is someone who is always available to attack with power and IQ.
Lydia Imbrogno Lydia Imbrogno 5'9" | OH Wapsie Valley | 2022 State IA – Six Pack 17-1
17 USA
Six Pack is always in the hunt for a title for every tournament they play in. They have a strong tradition and some of the top athletes out of the Cedar Valley area (Cedar Falls/Waterloo, IA). Imbrogno has been one of the top small school outside hitters in Iowa. Another big point scorer who isn’t afraid to take a big swing, she will be key for “The Pack” this weekend. Another big attacker for Six Pack is Kasidy Mohwinkle Kasidy Mohwinkle 5'10" | MB Aplington-Parkersburg | 2022 State IA who will be swinging out the middle and right side. A solid first contact from Northern Iowa recruit Alivia Bronner Alivia Bronner 5'5" | DS/L Cedar Falls | 2022 State IA will be key to their success this weekend.
Arra Cottrell Arra Cottrell 6'0" | OH Pleasant Valley | 2022 State IA – Platform Elite 17 Adidas
17 USA
Huge fan of Cottrell. I saw her play live for the first time at the state tournament in Iowa’s largest class where her Pleasant Valley team advanced to the final four. Cottrell can swing from either pin, can pass, and provide a solid block. She has a heavy swing with some top spin that always can find a spot in the corner to score points.
Bailey Van Voorst Bailey Van Voorst 5'10" | MB Pella | 2022 State IA – Iowa PowerPlex 17 Black
17 USA
PowerPlex is out of the West Des Moines area who is always plentiful with volleyball talent. Van Voorst is a six rotation outside who can do it all and will be relied on to score points this weekend. Big arm, great vision, impressive athlete. Another impressive athlete to watch would be Lauren Blake Lauren Blake 5'8" | S Indianola | 2022 State IA who can do it all as a setter for Plex.
Madison Geise Madison Geise 6'0" | S Roland-Story | 2022 State IA – IPVA 17 Black
17 USA
Geise makes a huge impact in every rotation as a setter who can also attack. She can do whatever her team needs her to do. At 6’0 tall, long wing span, she can get her hands to the ball and also be offensive at the net. This is a scrappy group from IPVA who has plenty of college prospects. Geise is definitely the conductor of this group with her ability to make it all happen in multiple ways.
Ella Koloc Ella Koloc 5'4" | DS/L West Delaware | 2022 State IA – Dubuque Elite National
17 American
Koloc is low key one of the best liberos in the Class of 2022. Dubuque Elite National isn’t one of the more well known clubs in Iowa, but they are full of multi-sport athletes. Koloc is a winner, she has been key for West Delaware in multiple sports, but has played in plenty of state tournament matches, including the state title match this past season. She is gritty, solid in serve receive and anticipates extremely well. A steal at the next level.
Carly Puffer Carly Puffer 6'0" | MB Wilton | 2022 State IA – Iowa Rockets 17-1
17 American
Puffer is a dominant middle where she always finds a way to hit the ball square. She can attack off one foot, swing hard, mix in some shots over the block and to the deep corner. This Rockets team is always in the hunt and have snuck up on some big teams this season. They have a really athletic lineup and athletes who can play multiple positions which makes them a dynamic threat.
Calliope Coppola Calliope Coppola 5'8" | DS/L Dowling | 2022 State IA – Club Ignit Select 17 Blue
17 Open
This Club Ignit 17 Blue squad has plenty of Division 1 talent and will be in the hunt for an Open bid. Coppola is another dynamic 2022 athlete who has a bright future as a DS/Libero at the next level, but could even step in and play on the outside if needed. She has solid range and is accustomed to training and playing at an extremely high level.
Meredith Bahl Meredith Bahl 5'10" | OH Western Dubuque | 2022 State IA – Iowa Rockets 17R
17 Open
Bahl is a high flyer on the pin. She has been electric for Western Dubuque in their back to back state tournament appearances and is one of the top attackers in her class. She is also one of the top high jumpers in the state as well. This Iowa Rockets team made it to Gold on the final day of MEQ which is always one of the top qualifiers in the country. Bahl adds plenty of depth and can swing on the outside or the backrow, super dynamic.
Maddie Harris Maddie Harris 5'9" | OH Western Dubuque | 2022 State IA tooling off the block. The more I watch, her value as a six rotation outside 📈📈📈 pic.twitter.com/WTKX30AMcy

Maddie Harris Maddie Harris 5'9" | OH Western Dubuque | 2022 State IA – CIA 17 Black
17 Open
Harris and Bahl are teammates for Western Dubuque where they are in the conversation as the top outside hitter duo in the state. Harris is strong and athletic, her upside is scary where she can blast away or use the block to her advantage. Harris has an older brother, Calvin, who is currently playing baseball at Ole Miss. The athletic genes run deep and for Maddie, she is making a name for herself in the volleyball world.
Allison Bonnette Allison Bonnette 5'10" | OH Denver | 2022 State IA – Flight 17U
17 American
Bonnette is another top all around, multi-sport athlete from the Cedar Valley. A Denver prep, Bonnette was one of the top pins in the Class 2A state tournament last fall and has continued to impress over the club season. Flight is going to be a dangerous team this weekend where they have plenty of athletes who know how to game in big moments.
