Following an exciting senior season for many in the fall of 2021, some players were able to thrust themselves up in the final rankings.
Here’s a look at some of those that made big moves.
16. Emily Struckmeyer Emily Struckmeyer 6'1" | MB Lowell | 2022 State MI , MH Lowell/FaR Out
Jumping up three spots from 19, the powerful middle for Lowell took on a big role this fall and she came up big. The All-State talent finished with 515 kills, nearly double her previous best. She also hit .314 on her attacks, proving to be one of the most prominent middles in the state.
19. Audrey Brown Audrey Brown 6'0" | OH Seaholm | 2022 State MI , OH Seaholm/Legacy
Brown also jumped up three spots to No. 19 in the latest rankings. The strong-swinging outside for the Maples was a dominant player in Oakland County this fall. Brown hit over .300 while putting down over 500 kills, as she shouldered a great load for the Maples’ offense.
20. Leah Rogers Leah Rogers 6'2" | MB Hudsonville | 2022 State MI , MB Hudsonville/FaR Out
The 6’2 middle for Hudsonville moved from 29 to No. 20 in our final rankings. One of the top blockers in the state, Rogers uses her quick feet and long reach to get her hands on a lot of opposing attacks and can be a great force at the next level.
23. Summer Jidas Summer Jidas 5'5" | DS/L Clarkston | 2022 State MI , L/DS Clarkston/Legacy
Jidas has been a consistent presence for the Clarkston program for years and leaves as one of its all-time best defenders. Moving up from 26 to No. 23 in our final rankings, Jidas put up over 1,250 digs and over 200 aces over her time with the Wolves.
24. Amina Robinson Amina Robinson 5'6" | DS/L Mercy | 2022 State MI , L/DS Mercy/Michigan Elite
The Mercy defender also moves up three spots from No. 27. Robinson has been up against the best hitters in the state since she was libero for the 2019 state champs, Mercy, as a sophomore. Robinson has a calming presence in the back row, and has all the athleticism to make the tough plays.
28. Mackenzie Delacher Mackenzie Delacher 5'10" | S Rockford | 2022 State MI , S Rockford/FaR Out
Delacher made a big move from No. 36 to No. 28 after a standout season leading the Rams offense. Delacher proved to be able to run a fast offense while spreading the ball out to a lot of different options. She amassed over 3,400 assists in her prep career.
29. Janiah Jones Janiah Jones 6'1" | MB Marian | 2022 State MI , MH Marian/Team Detroit
Jones really settled in nicely to the Marian offense this season, which helped her move from No. 38 to No. 29 in the final rankings. Though in a crowded offense, Jones hit nearly .500 on the season and produced 185 kills for the D1 state champs. She also added 83 blocks defensively.
34. Alina Anderson Alina Anderson 5'5" | DS/L Rockford | 2022 State MI , L/DS Rockford/FaR Out
Anderson made a massive jump from No. 50 up to 34 this time around. The very athletic libero was a big asset to the Rams this fall, allowing the team to stay in-system with their various weapons. Anderson amassed nearly 600 digs this fall.
