<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='168900' first='Alexis' last='Hoffman'] – Middle – Advance</strong></p>

<p>You can tell she is a coach's kid! A high volleyball IQ with great hands to help run a 6-2. The 6'2" middle that provides power and finesse had a big quarterfinal performance in the 3-1 win over Clarkton. Hoffman would put down 22 kills on 39 attempts for a .487 hitting percentage.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='170031' first='Kameron' last='Dankenbring'] – Outside – Santa Fe</strong></p>

<p>In the quarterfinal five-set loss to Tarkio, Kameron would finish the match with 23 kills on 79 attempts and 19 digs. Another high flying outside hitter with plenty of power will return and should reach the 1000-kill milestone.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='150042' first='Avery' last='Ashby'] – Outside – St. Pius X (Kansas City)</strong></p>

<p>The performance in the quarterfinals isn't a surprise from Avery. An excellent outside for the Warriors contributed 30 kills on 49 attempts and hit .510 in the five-set loss.</p>

<p>A teammate of Ashby, Claire is a dirty defender who reads the hitters extremely well and always seems to be in the right spot. Mosh would dig up 32 balls in the five-set loss to Pleasant Hill in the quarterfinals.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='124851' first='Isabella' last='Faria'] – Outside – Kickapoo</strong></p>

<p>One of my favorite players to watch highlights of is Faria. She is a high-flying, high volleyball IQ, ball pounder on the outside for the Chiefs. In the quarterfinal, five-set win over Rock Bridge, Bella put down 17 kills, added 17 digs, and was the primary passer to help guide her team to the final four.</p>
