’23, Ella Scott Ella Scott 6'1" | MB Plainfield | 2023 State IN , 6-1 MB, Plainfield
The highest attack touch on 16 Black belongs to a middle that plays in Circle’s backyard. Her abilities range from attacking in front of and behind the setter with equal ease, while still being a difference maker on defense at the net. I’m a huge fan of her length and quick transition to get to everywhere she needs to be.
’23, Taryn Kennedy Taryn Kennedy 5'11" | MB Center Grove | 2023 State IN , 5-11 MB, Center Grove
A different type of middle from the long-and-lean Miss Scott, Taryn is a broad-shouldered, heavy-armed middle that will excel in the M2 position at the next level. She can hit all angles in front of the setter and uses her strong upper body to outmuscle blockers and attackers across from her. Miss Kennedy has come a long way in the past two years, and her volleyball IQ is raising by the match.
’23, Emmy Frier Emmy Frier 5'8" | S McCutcheon | 2023 State IN , 5-8 S, McCutcheon
Fast and athletic, Emmy is the relentless 5-1 setter that this squad needs. She sets quick to the pins, gets to every ball she can, understands the situation when the ball is passed tight, and makes every ball better than the pass she received. In my opinion, she fits the mold of what college coaches want at the next level. Now all she has to do is continue to improve.
’23, Carly Suzzanne Christy Carly Suzzanne Christy 5'8" | OH Carmel | 2023 State IN , 5-8 OH, Carmel
With the entire roster coming back at Carmel for the fall of ’21, you might not see Miss Christy contribute all of the things she’s learned this club season. Her fast approach, athletic play and all-around volleyball smarts will propel her far for recruiters, and will be a steal for someone looking for an outside that can pass.
