Continue ReadingClass 2 will be a senior dominant class this year. This class will be wide open for anyone this year. With the success factor in Missouri, a couple of the private schools possibly will leave this class and open up for a new champion. Let us take a look at some of the key players returning in Class 2.
Christa Duffel-Senior-Strafford
With 283 kills and 67 blocks, the Indians have a solid returning to lead them from the middle hitter position. Season-high 29 kills and hit .451% in a 4 set win over El Dorado Springs.
Kylie Wenger Kylie Wenger 5'9" | RS Clever | 2022 State MO -Senior-Clever
Kylie returns for the Blue Jays after completing her junior year with 274 kills and 299 digs. Season-high 20 kills in a 5 set loss to Hollister. She will be relied on more this year and should do more damage.
Hailey Shannon-Senior-Cabool
The Bulldogs lost a 14-16 in the 5th set in the state playoffs to eventual champions Christian. With a senior-heavy class last year for Cabool, Hailey will need to have a monster season to get Cabool back in the title hunt. She completed last year with 260 kills and 113 digs. Season-high 15 kills in a 3-0 win over Conway.
Addie Johnson-Senior-Woodland
The 5’7 senior has been a leader for the Cardinals since her freshman year. She has helped the Cardinals to back-to-back district titles and one win away from the final four. Last year, with 249 kills and 188 digs, look for those numbers to increase during her last high school season.
Natalie Ernst-Senior-St. Vincent
With 482 digs last year as a junior, Natalie is the top dig leader in Class 2. She’ll need a lot of help from the front row to get St Vincent back to .500 this season.
Emma Mullings-Senior-Strafford
The second dig leader for Class 2 last year was Emma Mullings. With 454 digs and a season-high 47 digs in a 4 set loss to Skyline, Mullings will be relied on to get the Indians back into the state playoffs.
Kenna Wise-Senior-Clever
Another solid returner for the Blue Jays is Kenna Wise. The senior to be finished a junior year where she scooped up 431 digs and 188 kills.
Amyjah Belt and Katelyn Jackson Seniors-Stover
