Here’s some of the biggest blockers to give a call in June!
Kaia Caffee Kaia Caffee 6'4" | MB Buffalo | 2024 State #16 Nation MN (2024) | 6’4 MB | MN Select
This girl is going to be trouble at the next level. Kaia Caffee Kaia Caffee 6'4" | MB Buffalo | 2024 State #16 Nation MN is playing up a year with MN Select’s 17-1s team and has been a total terror despite her youth. Her 6’4 frame is nothing to scoff over but then you see her in the air and it’s over. Her block is unbreakable and trying to defend Caffee is near impossible!
Mallory Bohl Mallory Bohl 6'3" | MB Saline | 2024 State #102 Nation MI (2024) | 6’3 MB | Legacy
Well considered one of the top in her class for awhile now, Mallory Bohl Mallory Bohl 6'3" | MB Saline | 2024 State #102 Nation MI continues to prove these projections. A huge presence at the net, Bohl can turn the entire game upside down with her block. As her block is impressive, her offense continues to grow as well and is near impossible to defend given her height and court vision.

Gracie Havlicek (2024) | 6’2 MB | Tribe
When it’s go time, it is GO time for Gracie Havlicek! Looking for speed? Havlicek knows all about it. Fast off the ground on the block and attacking, not much can slow this player down when she’s so quick. She can get up quick and she can get up high. Proving more times than once, a force to be messed with.
Kendall Hopewell Kendall Hopewell 6'1" | MB Forest Hills Northern | 2024 State #193 Nation MI (2024) | 6’0 MB | FaR Out
You can recruit her as a middle, or you can recruit her as a pin, Kendall Hopewell Kendall Hopewell 6'1" | MB Forest Hills Northern | 2024 State #193 Nation MI can do it all. Spending most of her time in the middle though, Hopewell is a dynamo. A highly fast twitched athlete, she can bounce off the ground and get onto any ball fast! As noted too, her versatility as an attacker opens up a plethora of options for not only Hopewell but for an elite program.

Meghan Clifford (2024) | 6’2 MB | VolleyFX
One of the most well rounded players in this field, Meghan Clifford out of VolleyFX can play the entire game at a pretty high level. Her blocking is solid and her attack is next level. Clifford has a cannon for an arm, but her ability to fire away and move the ball around the court makes things all the more difficult for defenders.
Alison Parachek Alison Parachek 6'0" | MB Dexter | 2024 State MI ALISONPARACHEK6’0″ | MBDexter | 2024#18STATEMI (2024) | 6’1 MB | L2
She may not be a huge name amongst her counterparts yet, but don’t overlook this middle. Alison Parachek Alison Parachek 6'0" | MB Dexter | 2024 State MI is having one breakout season at L2. Her development as not only an attacker, but a blocker has been crazy to watch just in one season. I wouldn’t want to leave this card on the table too long!

Ella Boersema Ella Boersema 6'2" | MB Churubusco | 2024 State #178 Nation IN (2024) | 6’2 MB | Team Pineapple
If you have to come across this block, it’s game over. Ella Boersema Ella Boersema 6'2" | MB Churubusco | 2024 State #178 Nation IN is a skilled net defender and has been a huge issue for teams all season long. An elite blocker, Boersema can also bring down a hefty hammer in front of the setter. A high reach, with a lot of power, she’s hard to defend.
Maria Happ (2024) | 6’3 MB | OTVA
OTVA is a pretty well oiled machine, it helps when you have such a positive net defender as Maria Happ. Her block is imposing to say the least – when she isn’t scoring on her block, her touches make the game so much easier. As efficient as a blocker Happ is, she’s a pretty elite attacker as well.
Allison Pilat Allison Pilat 6'2" | OH Plymouth Christian | 2024 State MI (2024) | 6’1 MB | Michigan Elite
On a team riddled with injuries, it’s been a tough go around for some talent at Michigan Elite. Allison Pilat Allison Pilat 6'2" | OH Plymouth Christian | 2024 State MI however has been able to make some noise despite these losses. Pilat is another player who would more than fit a role as a utility player, great attacking range and superb blocking all along the net.
