– OH | Mercy McAuley
Adkins is steadily becoming a major factor in this class and for her team in one of the premier league’s in the state. The 6’0 outside hitter is one of two attackers in the GGCL at 200 or more kills on the season as she is averaging four kills per set. She is very fluid in her approach work and gets her feet to the ball to help her maximize her big lift off the floor. She can swing up and over the block with power and also shows good arm control to make shots to the open court. She is also among league leaders in total digs. The Wolves are competing well in the GGCL with big wins over defending state champion MND as well as highly-ranked Seton. Adkins had 18 and 26 kills in those two matches, respectively.
Karlee Plozay – MB/OH | Bethel
The 6’0 outside hitter continues to be the Bees’ biggest offensive weapon. She has 175 kills on the season with an average of 5.1 per set. This includes a career high 30 kills earned in an earlier 3-1 win over Milton-Union. She has the ability to swing with an aggressive arm and increases her movement and attacking efficiency if she becomes more fluid through her approach patterns. She has good court awareness and applies a lot of pressure on the opponent with her ability to swing as well has place the ball strategically with good off-speed touch. She also averages 10.5 digs per match.
Gabrielle Swartz – OH | Rittman
Swartz is averaging 3.6 kills per set for Rittman and is their primary offensive threat given she has seen over twice as many attempts as any of her teammates. She has a total of 172 kills on the season and is hitting .204. With average elevation, her best asset is in her momentum build and ability to get her feet to the ball well that allows her to swing with an aggressive arm. With a more deliberate double-arm lift she can increase her elevation and balance in the air. She also leads this team defensively with nearly nine digs per match.

– OH | Springboro
We continue to be very impressed by Wuebker’s ability to carry a significant offensive load for Springboro while being very effective with her arm. She is proving to be one of the most lethal arms in the 2024 class given her athleticism, savvy, and endurance to manage well the workload she sees very match. In her last three matches alone she is averaging nearly eight kills per set. In consecutive 3-0 wins she posted 24 and 25 kills to lead her team. The Panthers recently dismantled former GWOC rival Lebanon in a 3-1 outcome in which Wuebker was clearly the best athlete on the floor as she took 65 swings on her way to a career high 29 kills. Springboro is currently 10-2 overall and tied for first place in the GWOC.
Samantha Young – OH | Rocky River
Young is an active arm for the Pirates. The 5’11 outside hitter has 159 kills on the season and is averaging five kills per set while hitting .317. She had 200+ kills as a freshman a season ago and will certainly eclipse that total in the coming weeks. She has earned 20+ kills in a match four times with back-to-back matches totaling 25 total kills. As she continues to develop her arm control and movement she be even more effective. When on time to the ball she can create good contact point and hit with above average power. Rocky River is currently 6-2 in the Great Lakes Conference.
