8. Broncos select Remi Madison Remi Madison 5'9" | OH Grand Blanc | 2023 State MI , 2023 OH Grand Blanc/Michigan Elite
Madison has a lot of explosion in her game. She doesn’t have the size as some of the other hitters drafted, but she can hold her own with anyone.

The first player from the Class of 2024 is selected in Zood, a 6’1” setter with a wealth of upside. She can reach 7’11” and jump 10 feet. Dood looks like she will be one of the next great setters in the state.
2. Lions select Karlee Stoll Karlee Stoll 5'7" | S Anchor Bay | 2022 State MI , 2022 S Anchor Bay/Legacy
A great leader on the floor, Stoll’s energy and confidence allow her to be a great court general for any team.
3. Broncos select Skylar Bump Skylar Bump 5'7" | S Lakewood | 2023 MI , 2023 S Lakewood/FaR Out
The run on setters continues with Bump, a battle-tested setter that knows how to help her hitters succeed. Bump sets a great ball and is able to make the tough sets from anywhere on the floor.
4. Bears select Laurece Abraham Laurece Abraham 6'1" | MB Country Day | 2023 State #111 Nation MI , MB Country Day/Legacy
Abraham has been able to rise to the occasion for her prep and club teams, both of which feature a wealth of hitting talent. She’s growing in confidence and is a power arm that’s a handful to deal with.
5. Wildcats select Paige Giehtbrock Paige Giehtbrock 6'0" | OH Clarkston | 2023 State MI , 2023 OH Clarkston/Michigan Elite
Giehtbrock really emerged in the last year and proved she can do it all. She hits, she passes, she defends, she serves.
6. Falcons select Emily Struckmeyer Emily Struckmeyer 6'1" | MB Lowell | 2022 State MI , 2022 MB Lowell/FaR Out

7. Eagles select Kimani Johnson Kimani Johnson 6'3" | RS Cass Tech | 2022 State #137 Nation MI , 2022 RS Cass Tech/Michigan Elite
Johnson has all the tools you can ask for. She’s long (6’3”), athletic and instinctive with her play. She’s a great compliment to any outside hitter.
8. Bulldogs select Kendyl Andrews Kendyl Andrews 5'8" | S Flushing | 2022 State MI , 2022 S Flushing/Michigan Elite
Andrews is able to move on the floor really well and communicate effectively with her teammates. Any offense with Andrews in it will run smoothly.
