For the first time this season, I had the opportunity to go watch these teams compete in person. I will be spotlighting the athletes from 2022, 2023, and 2024, who were an impact in their position and made an impression when watching.
SETTERS

Corpe brought a consistent and calm presence to the court for NPJ 16-1, running a 6-2 alongside 2023 Hayden Hamilton Hayden Hamilton 5'11" | S Ridgeview | 2023 State OR . She is athletic and a natural to the setters position. She does an exceptional job setting against the grain.

Watching Wiepert run the court for the Athena 16-1 team she brings great energy to the court. Having watched this athlete grow into the setters role since 14s, she has improved substantially over the past season. Not only has she grown height wise, but as a player. She has exceptional court awareness, a great attitude and a hammer of an arm swing when attacking. She plays all around, setting a 6-2 alongside 2023 Amaya Parnell.
Wiepert has been on the varsity roster for Wilsonville High School since her freshman year. A serving specialist as a freshman to the starting setter as a sophomore, she was named to the 5A Third Team All-State by PrepDig this past season.
