Olivia Hasbrook, senior, Eureka

Arguably the best libero in the area, the 5-foot-9 defensive dynamo has committed to Ohio State. Hasbrook used a combination of speed and skill to keep numerous balls off the floor for the Wildcats during a 33-4 season. She finished with 516 digs, led the team in serve receive and had 65 service aces.

Kendell Kingdon, senior, O’Fallon

The 5-foot-9 outside hitter will be the go-to offensive option for a Panthers team that hopes to build on its run to the Illinois Class 4A super-sectional round last season under new coach Natalie Ott. Kingdon put down 3.11 kills a set for the Panthers (32-7), including 16 against conference rival Edwardsville in the regional semifinals.
